To Goanet - If you believe the third-rate migrant editors of Goan newspapers, you would think that Mashelkar and Abdul Kalam have just dropped the Fifth Veda on us.
"Eminent Scientist" "Dr" APJ Kalam (neither a scientist nor a "Dr," by the way. In the US, people who insist on using "Dr" when they have not earned it are those in the business of peddling snake oil) delivered his content-free, ideas-free drivel yesterday. I read the reported accounts of the speeches. There is absolutely nothing in there aside from vapidity. No 'ideas' no nothin'. But lots of empty slogans, shibboleths, and corny exhortation. How much did the Goa govt spend on this dog & pony show? How much were Mashelkar and Kalam paid for dumping their humbug? Hopefully Lionel Messias will file an RTI application and report. I think the Dalai Lama is supposed to speak today. The good thing about Dalai-bab is that unlike Mashelkar and Kalam, he doesn't take himself seriously. Regards, r
