more attempts by christists and communists to make deepavali less fun. notice they only attack hindu festivals with all this faux-environmentalism crocodile tears.
i notice none of them have anything to say about:
a) the pointless slaughter of animals on mohammedan 'holy' [sic] days
b) the huge waste of trees (cut down as 'mitra festival' er... 'hoax birthday' er... 'christmas' trees) and the enormous amounts of electricity wasted on lighting up all night
c) the money spent on red banners and other paraphernalia by the comrades
d) the large tracts of good land wasted on cemeteries so that the semites can keep the moldering bones of their dead buried there awaiting... drumroll! the thing when they some nut will come raise them all -- moldy bones and all -- the heaven [sic]. cremate them all, i say!

Here MJ Akbar trying to be Party Pooper on Diwali.
And quite connivingly he ends the article with a non-apology-apology.

This "synthetic milk" business has been in the news for several years now. It has an air of plausibility, except for one thing: urea is easily hydrolyzed to ammonia, and one can smell ammonia even in old water water solutions of urea; the instant you mix urea and caustic soda, there will be a very pungent smell of ammonia. How can one sell that as "milk"? I am asking a question, not dismissing the "synthetic milk" story as just scare-mongering. At the same time, I have known milk vendors to "reclaim" spoilt milk (split milk) by adding baking soda or washing soda, and stirring thoroughly, giving it an false appearance of fresh milk. Caustic soda will work even better.
