30 mins or less can get you on CNN.com

Argh! I m pissed…some cuz of anger towards the writer who has only covered one side of the tale…! He is like the TBS commercial which says "u can laugh but not so much"...be proud india but not this much....u are doing good but not that good...whatever!

And rest out of frustration…that we know so much, yet do so little…

So he is comparing adult literacy percentages between India, rwanda and sudan...nice...how about some math class?? u can't compare percentages between a 1.1 billion+ country and 10 million...r u kidding me??

"(Sources: UNDP, Unicef, World Food Program; Edward Luce). You get the idea."
Yeah, I get the idea. This article is something that can be written with 30 minutes research on wikipedia...and so CNN decided it is worth front page coverage because???...grabs attention...

"The problem with India's self-proclaimed (and wildly premature) declaration of superpower status is that..." - no self-proclaimation here pal...you got it the other way around...

And besides, in today's world superpower is a fast eroding idea...america no longer has the clout and credibility it used to have anyway...it is just a matter of time before they realize that it ain't their daddy's world...

I am not done yet. Let me write after my 30 minutes in wikipedia and google...that is my retort...

Go india!

BTW, how is that title for a attention grabber eh?...Geico...
