It was also nice to see Gurgaon people protesting against the government for such lousy treatment. And it [...]

We have a nice government in Haryana. They claim Gurgaon to be the Singapore of India. I am living in this particular city. We have terrible power supplies. The inside news is that the power is being diverted to Delhi to make sure that the people in the capital city does not suffer till the [...]
