India gets rowdy over nuclear liability - Rainspotting in Bangalore

http://rainspotting.livejournal.com/8253.html

India gets rowdy over nuclear liability - Rainspotting in Bangalore. India gets rowdy over nuclear liability. Apr 15th, 2010 04:05 pm. The amount of compensation proposed by India compares unfavorably with international equivalents: the US has a pooled, non-governmental fund of $10.5 billion, and countries such as Germany, Japan and Switzerland have no cap on their liability amounts at all. However, it is more than China and Canada's liability caps, and about equal to that of France. Liability is a sore ...

Oh fantastic. Bin Laden's on the climate wagon. - Rainspotting in Bangalore

Oh fantastic. Bin Laden's on the climate wagon. - Rainspotting in Bangalore. Oh fantastic. Bin Laden's on the climate wagon. Jan 29th, 2010 06:41 pm. How did we not spot it before? I always suspected eating red meat was patriotic. As food groups go, it's practically a metaphor for free speech! But does it actually matter in the slightest? An translation by the Al-Jazeera website quotes the audio tape - which has not yet been confirmed to be the voice of bin Laden - as saying speaking about climate change...

Solar Sign Language - Rainspotting in Bangalore. Oct 31st, 2009 06:25 pm. It’s a surprising finding, this roomful of African women soldering circuits. Ldquo;We had no doubts about coming here,” says Belle, a 45 year old grandmother from Kisumu Village, Kenya, her head wrapped in a printed cotton cloth. “We were very courageous. We thought, ‘Yes! We can do it. We are African women! Rsquo; We wanted to make it to India and we did.”. Ldquo;As a woman, you are so much committed to your home, to look after yo...

Planes, trains, and auto-vindication - Rainspotting in Bangalore. Planes, trains, and auto-vindication. Nov 23rd, 2009 02:26 pm. Still, I've taken trains wherever possible - probably about a fortnight of the last 3 months has been spent rumbling and clattering through the Indian subcontinent altogether, and it's a great pleasure to be able to watch the varying countryside go by, even if you do sometimes also catch glimpses of your life going by between the trees. I swelled. Erm, an NGO? There's a code of...

http://rainspotting.livejournal.com/9424.html

Bihar - Rainspotting in Bangalore. Jul 7th, 2010 10:34 am. In terms of ancient history, Bihar is one of India’s most sophisticated states. The author of the original Ramayana, one of the great Sanskrit epics of India, lived in Ancient Bihar. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of the Republic of India, was from Bihar; Mahatma Gandhi launched the civil disobedience movement against British rule from here. And that’s why I’m here. We’ve come to meet a few of the people in Bihar who a...

Jun 11th, 2010 11:32 am. A quick break from the usual environmental fare to react to an.

The yearly deluge - Rainspotting in Bangalore

http://rainspotting.livejournal.com/9080.html

The yearly deluge - Rainspotting in Bangalore. Jun 15th, 2010 12:41 pm. It's not just the volume of water that falls from the skies, but the whole scene that changes. For someone with that English urbanite attitude to weather - that it can be a convenience or an inconvenience, but not really anything of. Of course, the monsoon has far more serious consequences than this. 1500 farmers killed themselves. The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted that the rains this year will be normal.
