Two things I read this morning and enjoyed

The easy way out for a blogger is to link to good stuff written by others. I returned to read the Hindustan Times column section this morning after a long gap, and this is what I enjoyed reading:

Vir Sanghvi, Mood of Middle India, Hindustan Times, April 26, 2008.
Which lets you read scores of questionnaires over his shoulder, a fascinating sample survey or snapshot of who we are.

Vir Sanghvi, Pity the Poor Drivers, Hindustan Times, April 12, 2008.
In which he reads the Wahab-in-the-cockpit incident as a text that reveals the classist nature of political discourse in India.
