Quick notes: Delhi's Prachanda, Boxing Day...

• Till he became PM of Nepal, Prachanda was unstoppable. Then people began to see him in his underwear. Today, he heads a splinter group of Maoists, a mere shadow of his former self. Now Delhi gets its own Prachanda as its CM.



• Buy, buy, buy: Consumer madness, excess spending and consumptive orgy, all in the name of Christism. That is what Boxing Day represents.



• Madrassa Murderers: In Tirupur, an Arabic teacher caused burns using an iron box on a boy for being naughty. In Dharmapuri, B. Irfan (10), who studied in the Madrassa at Palacode, was allegedly caned to death by his teacher M. Hidhayathullah.
