Websites telling about your past life and also what you would be in your future lives interest us. No matter how much we call it silly, we get hooked on to it with curiosity. Yesterday, a local TV channel had a one hour programme and a panel discussion on such a site.

It sounded silly, but it also made us all log on to the site and check when we would die or reborn in our future life. The site said that I would be born as a woodpecker and my colleagues as Dodos or bears. ...

Some TV channels have been helping terrorists in Mumbai. May be unintentionally, but their live footages have perhaps worked as CCTV footage to them.

Despite the authorities urging the channels not to give out details of the operations, almost every step was reported on live television. The number of commandos and the strategies planned were revealed. Footage of them taking positions, entering the hotel, clear pictures of their weapons was telecast. All that the terrorists had to do was just watch television and get prepared to counter....
