Malice towards none
Any guess why "112"  has been chosen as "911" of India?
My take - It might be the extension number of the PS to TRAI chief, the authority that has suggested this as the national emergency number.
First random thought this morning
One business that is flourishing these days is the business of "likes" on social media.
A chance meeting with some professionals, who provide "likes" and "followers" on social media on payment basis, informed me that after politicians, the religious gurus are the second largest users of their services. This group of three IT professionals claimed to be providing services to at least 12 gurus frequently appearing on various TV shows and public functions. They were elated to note that the top BJP leadership has recently provided them a huge business opportunity in UP!
