		<description><![CDATA[MB Boys and their rivals have been fed the carrot. Or were they force-fed, so to speak, to ensure the survival of our harmonious and polite society? The Royal Bhutan Police were the honest broker. The ‘’pledge” is a reconciliation between themselves &#8211; essentially a reconciliation between us and them. Our society and its cancerous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I take the boy in yellow brocade gho featured in the K2 supplement (Kuensel dated 04 August 2010) for XiangchupTynze Jatshel. The boy is cute with chubby cheeks, the name beautiful, and hence only befitting. One is commensurate with the other in all proportions. From yesteryear’s Tawla, Khela and Chola to today’s Om and Ohm; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s rush hour. Amid the hustle and bustle an elderly woman squeezes in, utters “ladies first” rather condescendingly, and then haughtily slips past all. I retract my steps, sit back on a bench and doze off. I’m dreaming, and in my dream I’m chatting about gender equality with my alter ego. I go first, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Supply creates its own demand”. Who cares? Unemployment generates its own antonym. This is more important. Employment is only one ‘un’ away from unemployment &#8211; just two letters. Great economists propounded theories of employment. Still unemployment is an ill that all economies – irrespective of size, system and health &#8211; suffer. Considering all factors constant, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seated cross-legged on a yak-hide mattress, Angay Lemo, a sexagenarian, mutters “Om mani pad me hung”, with a rosary in one hand and a mini, hand-powered prayer wheel in the other. It’s Saturday. And she’s been all by herself. Her only son, a middle-aged officer, and her daughter-in-law are away, holidaying in Bangkok. Her grandson [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All because of the hole the pole goes unruly and awry. “Ah, they rhyme, don’t they?” he asks laughingly. “What? It’s not funny – don’t laugh!” I warn him. Bees fly from far and wide and flock to the flowers to collect nectar. “And that’s alliteration,” he barges in again. He’s only being humorous so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s my take on the ongoing “beautiful game” in the form of limericks, written in their usual rhyme scheme and meter. I was almost through with it this evening when Brazil crashed out unceremoniously, and I had to change some of the verses. I am posting it before there are any further upset, forcing me [...]]]></description>

Therefore, frailty, our name is human. With all due respect, my sincere apology to you, Shakespeare, if I have startled and spun you in your grave. Frailty is [...]]]></description>

But have they drowned the criticism of the Jubulani? If the Jubulani could speak, it’d lambast FIFA and all the 32 nations kicking it mercilessly. We saw Italy win the World Cup in [...]]]></description>
