Democracy is under seige.Clearly.
Aamir Khan has raised his voice for a social cause. He is being targetted by the BJP for simply endorsing the order of the supreme court, simply reiterating the need to rehabilitate the villagers threatened to be displaced by the dam.

Hey Guys,
Miss you too.
Meanwhile, I suggest you go to this e-mag by Kavita Chhibber.

More Power to you Kavita..(psst..is it a mere coincidence that kavi/eetas are err..nice?)

Hey Guys.. you guessed right…Am on vacation
