Due to design changes that I have effected, all my earlier settings of this blog has gone, deleting all the readers' comments. I have retrieved them manually and thought it prudent to publish them as a post. There is certainly a risk in tinkering with a website if you are a tech novice. Fortunately, I found out a way to restore the lost feedback of my valuable readers, which is placed below:

sonia was actually washing her hands from everything, she wanted to run away form the problem, that's all you don't need to put all your efforts to describe her meaningless actions.

i hope you dont get irritated with my comments, after all you are a journalist.

Hmm..I am not irritated at all. On the contrary, every bit of your opinion has given me a new perspective. Feel free to leave your comments, any comments, but please be restrained in your language so that I won't need to wipe them out later. Ideas matter, not the desperation. And abuse, no no.

Tamo Ranjan,

By "space on commntaries", I guess wannabe-whistleblower was indicating the 12 dotted lines in your article. Maybe he did not realize that the dotted lines were an integral part of the story.

I always enjoy your posts. They make a really interesting read. Keep up the great work!

Could you please clarify what actually you mean by reducing the "space on commntaries"?

ranjan yumnam

Thanks for that enlightening definition of whistleblower. I am aware that the word connotes a rather negative overtones, and is often used to refer to disgruntled employees within an organisation (usually successful ones)who have a vested interest in blowing the lid on inner malpractices of that company. I chose the word as I liked the phonetic feel of the word; I don't actually fancy myself as a whistleblower in the true sense of the term. I am planning to move the entire blog to ranjanyumnam.com, the domain name which I am soon registering with a techie friend of mine.

PLEASE LEAD THE WAY!!!!!

n.
One who reveals wrongdoing within an organization to the public or to those in positions of authority:
"The Pentagon's most famous whistleblower is... hoping to get another chance to search for government waste" (Washington Post).


A Whistleblower is really a slang term that is now generally used in practice to describe a person that alerts civil authorities of wrongful acts being committed by HIS EMPLOYER AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.

In the US, Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation by the Federal Whistleblower Protection Act.
A remedy that may be used by the Whistleblower, beyond just protection, is to file a Qui Tam action. In Qui Tam, the

Whistleblower sues on behalf of the government and will share in any recovery.

On Things we can’t do

But don't say no Manipuris make it to Bollywood, I know many who work as xtras, ppppssssttt, pppppssstttt. If you wish I can pin-point some "dalals" who brockerage these xtras. And mind you, they are doing brisk business. Next time, look closely at those college themed Pepsi Ads, Cola Ads, Dance sequence of College themes etcetera, you might be lucky and spot a few of our own people. Gulp!

Ranjan, I agree with your posting. Manipuris are able to shine in most fields - education, technology, media etc. But when it comes to Bollywood, I guess we don't stand a chance. But it's not that I regret it though. It is just one of those things we have to learn to live without.

I do enjoy Hindi movies - for timepass of course. Though I have to wait quite some time for them to arrive.

Well, well, who are (a) Kamala (b) Medha. And why do Manipuri have to do the "nautanki" stuff. We watched these actors in movies for our entertainment; they are a separte bunch of their own community; people no longer crave for them at the streets save for a few. Let them do it and let us watch.
Anyway, I think you will not miss the points to discuss people like the Laxmi Mittal, The Ambanis, The Tatas, The Birlas etcetera.

Very interesting reading indeed!

On Miscellaneous

Not that I am good at but from a usability point of view, can you have the comment and trackback link at the bottom of each post and not on top, it is confusing and I am sure a common user will definitely be confused and yours is the first blog I came across with comment at the top of a post!
Brajeshwar

Cool that you took to blogging! My Best wishes to you.

Dear Ranjan,
Great though of a free bird. All the best and looking forward to reading some great stuff-no matter how long or short.
