Narendra Modi. Gujarat Chief Minister for 15 years.

Narendra Modi A profile of the man.
An interesting take on Narendra Modi, who won the elections in his state of Gujarat in India for the third time running. It is rare to find an incumbent being returned to power in India, since most politicians misuse their power for personal gains and end up being embroiled in controversies and corruption charges. Most of them have no vision and end up doing more damage than good. There are some exceptions to the rule. Narendra Modi is one and the other is Nitish Kumar in the State of Bihar. In both cases the electorate has returned these leaders to power with decisive mandates.

Hard to believe: Beer can be a health drink

Don't know how far this is true,  but a beer a day keeps kidney stones away and the heart healthy?Bitter Beer Better Body Builder?

Amazing Photos including one of a mother MP and child in Parliament

 There is clearly a case for providing creches in places of work. With both parents working and reduced maternity leave young mothers can feel a lot more reassured if there is a creche nearby where they can check on their infants. If a law maker can keep her child with her at work, I am sure a lot of others can do the same. Admittedly there will be some drop in productivity, but that can be budgeted for.
