I was surprised by the awareness about Lord Ganesha in U.S.A.
The professor to whom we presented Ganesha's idol very reluctantly was elated to receive it
and placed it in the most prominent place among his collection of show pieces! :)

She had no control over the life style and the fatal decision taken by

her very beautiful, talented and successful daughter!

But now she may get his anticipatory bail cancelled and thus curb his free movements.

That is controlling the lover (with a dubious reputation) of her dear dead daughter!:(

and the fatal decision taken by her dear dead daughter.

But now she may get the lover boy's anticipatory bail cancelled

and thereby curb his free movements in the outside world.

This is precisely what I had meant by my comment. :)

 [h=3]Ideological clarity, not Priyanka Gandhi, can save Congress[/h] The electoral battering the Congress received on Thursday, barring in Puducherry, had a witness remarking: The results show the Congress is a liability for any party entering into an alliance with it. No doubt, this is an exaggeration, but it does point to the abysmal depths to which Indias grand old party has fallen.Nothing will hurt the Congress more than its defeat in Assam. The Congress will say the loss of Assam was inevitable, given that it was facing triple incumbency. It will consequently argue against discerning a longterm, or national, trend in the reverses suffered in Assam.But this argument is specious. Naveen Patnaik has bucked anti-incumbency since 2000, as has Manik Sarkar in Tripura,

 [h=3]The Jayalalithaa model works: Power to the people and freebies for the poor[/h] Despite a strong anti-incumbency wave in the state, the electorate in Tamil Nadu did not use use its vote to punish the incumbent, historically the case in past elections. As the AIADMK heads for a clear victory, some of the major factors that failed to work in the Tamil Nadu polls were DMK leader M K Stalin’s nine months long state wide campaign and the alternative promised by the Captain Vijayakanth-led Third Front PWF. In the run-up to elections, opinion poll-exit poll surveys, news room analysts and `opinion’ makers had predicted a DMK victory.
