However, on 16.11.2013, MrTejpal messaged me a number of times
1. "Have you spoken to Tee? Is she Ok?"
To which I replied: "Why would she be ok about the fact that you sexually assaulted her best friend, that is me?"
2. "What's with saying this awful stuff??"
To which I replied: Do not send me any messages. You are lying and you know that.
3. "Oh is that so? I cherished you like one of my best kids always, all these years; and because of one drunken banter you so easily say these awful things.
To which I replied : It was twice Tarun, not once and it was no banter. You did the most horrible things to me and I certainly was not drunk. I asked you to stop repeatedly.
4. "Oh so that's what you told Tee. No wonder she's so madly upset. Its ok. Am not going to contest anything with her. Will let time and my love heal what it can."
5. "Don't think I've been more saddened in the longest time"
I have no doubt that MrTejpal was trying to establish his innocence in a devious manner. If he needed to get in touch with his daughter, he could have done so anytime he desired, through his wife or daughter or nephew or anyone from his family without messaging me about her, or falsely claiming that all that happened was 'a drunken banter'. This was no banter, it was most clearly sexual assault. As a reporter for Tehelka who writes on violence against women, I suddenly find myself in the horrific situation of discovering what it is like to be on the receiving end of this violence from a powerful man I once deeply admired and respected. I truly hope that the idea of Tehelka is still intact – and that you will conduct an inquiry into this matter at the earliest.

We're the New Sandniggers Now

Now it's just much more sensible and politically correct for Leftists to tell everyone that Indians are the real sandniggers whom civilized folk need to hide their daughters from. Oh, and of course when communicating these public service warnings, it's always necessary to include obligatory references to Hindutva somewhere in the article.
MOM Takes Picture of Mother India

You are looking at the first full colour picture ever taken of the Earth by an Indian spacecraft. After reaching Mars in about 9 months from now, MOM will transmit back full colour pictures of that planet.

Quick notes: Tianhe-2, Prof. Joy Laskar...
- China's Tianhe-2 retains title as world's fastest supercomputer
- Psecularism backfires on Karnataka CM
- Prof. Joy Laskar: Advising more than 50 Ph.D. candidates and having 50 patents awarded (or pending) did not prevent investigative raids on this Georgia Tech Professor. “He’s top-notch. He’s done all sorts of spectacular work.”
Animated Mahabharat Trailer Comes Out
They have an all-star cast, but unfortunately the animation looks quite dated, like it's from a 1990s videogame. I would have also preferred a blue-skinned Krishna to differentiate him from everyone else more.
