		<description><![CDATA[LoL Loved the dig at Sharad Pawar. In &#039;91, he was so close, he probably still thinks it&#039;s &#039;91. TV channel descriptions are spot on, but I am surprised you missed the horrible whispering and murmuring that was going on in the NDTV studios. Fun read. Thanks]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[cute :)
socialites need to understand that manufactured outrage is not a substitute for genuine involvement, nor is glibness a substitute for substance. 
that English language channels are watched by less than 3% of the audience - altho&#039; lots of NRI&quot;s watch the feed and believe that everyone in India does the same. Hindi channels like NDTV India or even pan nationl channels like DD News offere a more balanced coverage !!

the electorate -it is interesting that every one who threw their hat into the PM ring -mein bhi PM types - got spanked by the voters. Laloo, Paswan, Maya, Jaya, Pawar, Modi - i wonder if this is the real coming of age of the voter. 

The BJP needs to reform or die. I can only see two options for it - it goes into the extreme right British Naional Party Space or it moves int o the Centre Right space. The former will kill it. the latter will help it revive - without the nutcase element !

and finally, in your post,  there is s line that reads Jayalalitha and Azam Khan - it should be Jaya Pradha and Azam Khan :) tho&#039; the thought is interesting :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is fun. I wish I could place the first socialite though. Was it meant as a diffuse profile, alternatively? Guessed the second one with due smugness. 
By the way, did you perchance mean the Azam Khan, Jayaprada episode (as against Jayalalita?)]]></description>
