For Clean India to work, country needs to solve its waste disposal problem

Instead of constructing new landfill sites, experts say the government should be looking into innovative methods to recycle waste.

But first a matter of real urgency needs to be sorted out: India needs to increase landfill area, even as it looks into overhauling its municipal solid waste management system.

In a commendable move by the central government, PM Modi has announced a relief package of Rs.5000 crore for the 5 crore men who were victims of domestic abuse by their wives’ inexorable longing of the long running Pavitra Rishta, a daily soap opera on Zee TV, playing since ancient times with a total of more than 1424 episodes.

Kissa microphone ka: The public flogging of Robert Vadra is just absurd

Over the weekend, Robert Vadra, the former First Damaad, made big news for doing two things. One, he got pissy and pushed aside a journalist's microphone. Two, he attempted to force the journalist to delete the video footage of him doing the same. 

That's what we call dumb and dumber. Needless to say, his actions instantly evoked whoops of appreciation from the television channels, which instantly went to town with this unexpected gift that arrived on a slow weekend. 

The twitterati were no less eager to do their part toward the greater goal, i.e. making a Himalaya-sized brouhaha out of what was, at best, a termite mound of a PR flub. And right on cue, Congress party members on TV played their assigned role, which these days appears to be guided by that great anti-Hippocratic oath: Do every harm. They dutifully made everything worse by claiming first that Vadra was a "private citizen" and later that he ought not to be accosted in such an unseemly fashion at "private events."
