15-Sep-2009

A big gap for me. Sorry for the discontinuity. My office, assignments and some guests at my place kept me really busy last few days. While office work is still bugging my head, the guests have left.

Well, then let's start.

1) Any idea what is MLAA?

That's Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement that has been signed between India and Hong Kong on Monday to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies of both sides in investigation and prosecution of crimes. It was signed by Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran and Ambrose Lee, secretary for security, on behalf of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the People’s Republic of China.

2) Cong's austerity drive...Good thing if its not another publicity and popularity stunt for a temporary period.
