BVHK's world-view

Neighbour's envy

I am all for peace with our neighbours - no doubt about it. But let's not go overboard with the peace initiative,especially the people to people interaction bit. After all said and done, a tiger cnnot shed it's stripes so easily and Pakistan cannot become a peace loving nation overnight.I don't suggest that we should cut-off our relations with them. Just be aware of the fact that the cobra can rear up to bite us anytime.We have had the bitter experience in '99.There is no reason why we should let our guard down.

Simple request - don't go overboard.

He is BACK

The MAN is back and this time five unlikely heroes are going to match their wits against our man.It deserves a first day viewing purely for the entertainer par excellence.

Manchester United

I first noticed Manchester United in 1999 � not after the treble but because my favorite batsman Brian Lara, fresh from the amazing series with Australia had reached the shores of England for the World Cup �99. Brian Lara wanted to watch his childhood chum Dwight Yorke play Bayern Munich in the Champions� League final. Clive Lloyd rejected the request.

Man United won the premiership in 1999. I did not pay much attention. I guess I started watching Man United in 2001.

IFFI Goa: Oh, yes, we�re grateful for the crumbs

by Remo Fernandes

This was a forward.So,I couldn't post the hyperlink.It was too good to give it a miss.

I have been engaged to perform at the closing ceremony of the IFFI-Goa on December 9. I am a professional performer; I perform at events where I�m engaged to perform, and to me most jobs are equal � I give out the very best that I can, and that�s that.

I have often been asked my opinion of IFFI-Goa.
