The violence displayed in the Lok Sabha when the issue of reservation for women was taken up is reprehensible. Why not debate the issue peacefully? What, in the name of the lord, (a secular lord -- to preempt another noisy response) is the objection to the bill, and the debate anyway? As an Indian, I hang my head in shame. Mr Surinder Yadav (the member who displayed his temper), do you know the implications of the bill? Have you read it in the first place? What are your objections? You represent the thousands of people of your constituency. Is this the way you repay them? What are the codes of conduct that are to be followed in Parliament? Do we really deserve such politicians?

This incident has once again shown the levels to which Indian politicians can stoop. I wonder how long people will keep tolerating these "Yadavs". I am afraid if this army is not stopped now, they will take the country to hell.

Bravo, Yadavs!!! Well done!!! You truly deserve the honour of leading the Indian nation into the 21st century! Sorry, BJP, you just do not know how to govern India! Your party has been a disgrace and has become a laughing stock. You should learn from the Yadavs that might is right! You do not need democracy to rule, you just need votes and these can come in abundance if you know how to...?

I wish Dr Giri well in her fight to help improve the lives of women and girls. And I wish her much stamina as she will need it.

If Chandra Shekhar thinks that he was a more decisive PM than Vajpayee, why is it that his party has just one MP in Parliament? With all his great decisive power, he should have built a strong following. It is a shame that the media gives space to this hypocrite's rhetoric.

It's unfortunate that Rediff gives importance to the opinions of such opportunistic and characterless people. Chandra Shekhar is very low on the list of people who even deserve to criticise Mr Vajpayee. He is the best PM the country has ever produced!!!!

The investigative report on Operation Leech was well done. I was very pleased to see a report of such maturity about an incident that could be so easily blown up in either way. I would really appreciate seeing more about the incident in a follow-up report.

In a country where scandals like Bofors, urea, Yugoslavia gun deals, fodder scam, etc, have not yet seen the light of day, why would anyone expect the armed forces to tell the truth? We are very good at coining slogans; when it comes to the truth, we know how to stifle it.

It is clear that Singh and Mishra are making a mess of our external affairs ministry and a brilliant man like Mr Raghunath is being ignored. Mr Raghunath, who has had a brilliant career, is too much of a gentleman to break his head in this "drama of fools". We all saw what fools Pramod Mahajan and Madanlal Khurana made out of themselves after the blasts, since they were least qualified in the field of international diplomacy. Our politicians should learn to respect talented experts like Mr Raghunath, who belong to a rare breed.

We can talk about the advances made by India in science and technology, but unless the average Indian, especially the government and public sector employee, realises that by organising such strikes he is, in fact, affecting the economy of the country and that can affect his future too, there is not much hope. Every Indian must realise that taking India to great heights starts with his or her commitment to work hard for the country first. Yes, the politicians are to blame but just as charity begins at home, true progress begins at home and in the mindset of each and every Indian.

This was a most enjoyable read -- a vivid, colorful and poignant story. Looking forward to reading more such stories.

This article was merely a recollection of some pleasant memories of a much-deserved family vacation. I am sorry you didn't like it, but it was not meant as an authoritative work on the Cotswolds, nor was it done by a professional travel journalist. As for the 'bragging' about business trips and rental car savvy, perhaps we are coming at this from different life experience angles. I (like many others before me) have actually switched jobs just to escape the sheer monotony of these activities, not to mention the time spent away from family and home. Finally, regarding 'ego trips', guys who are vulnerable to corporate takeovers, unfortunately, can't afford these, but I appreciate your expressing your viewpoint. Kris Chandrasekar
