The most intriguing thing I find about the Mangalore Pub story is the detailed coverage in the TV channels..Does it mean:
*The Sena has intimated them beforehand about the assault...or...was the information from the Pub...
*If media has the information beforehand that the females in the pub are going to be "assaulted"(or molested) why they did not prevent it by intimating the police...
There are a lot of cobwebs in the issue..the need is for someone to bring them off for an unblinered view.

Meetha Pani at Mumbai
Written on Saturday, August 19, 2006 but yet valid....
In Mumbai,the taste of the sea water has become sweet...this has become so at the part of the sea near to a famous religious place....as such,the first interpretation is that of 'Divine intervention"..and a afllout of this is thousands of people thronging the place..drinking and carrying the 'holy ' water in bottles...Government has subsequently,on the basis of some lab test,clarified that the water is not holy but polluted and drinking it will not cure but induce diseases..the faithfuls,however,are continuing to throng the seashore...If we couple this incident with that of idols drinking milk and a statue of a divine figure crying...incidentally these three incidents transcends all the three major religions.....following questions comes to mind:*Are miracles actually happening?If we interpret Miracle as something which is different from a normal/habitual happening as per the defined parameters of a species...for example,an owl able to see clearly at night is a normality but a human being able to do so is a miracle.....then it seems possible and explainable..eg...sea water at a certain area may have got polluted with content of inflows....The point then is should it be called Miracle...if not,has MIRACLE happened anytime..as all such miraculous feats are explainable on the basis of certain suppositions...*Is Divinity intervening intermittently?While Rationalists try to negate divinity..considering that why of Big bang is still unexplained'it merits a discussion who causes these deviations...To elaborate further,if we say that the content of inflow has produced sweetness,then calculations should be able to predict the content which will produce sweetness..and this formula can be standardised and creating sweet sea water can become replicable...can we?The point that needs to be stressed is that these incidents require studies which needs to be off the cobwebs that spawn the minds of both the sides...
