Newsweek unveils last print cover

Sachin Tendulkar retires from ODIs

TOI: Sachin Tendulkar retires from ODIs... Sachin has always been my most favorite cricket plyer. Its sad to see him go, however greats like him know what they are doing. We have been lucky to see this master in front out us. I stronger what will be next for him? Coaching? Commentary? Lol, no. Academy? Business? Home? Whatever you do Sachin... All the Best!!

Student gang-raped on Delhi bus

Student 'gang-raped on Delhi bus'... So after recent shootings on kids in Newton, now this. And this has been happening for so long. New Delhi, the capital of India; seems to have become Rape Capital of India & world.. WTF!! Police, Government & Law cannot save our women? These sick bastards are spreading terror  and pain and still alive? What's there to run a case or give them a chance to explain. They need to be severely punished, seriously. A punishment which spreads terror in anyone who even thinks of suck crime in future. Any crime against children or sexual crime against women or even men need to be taken way more seriously & treated differently. This is really far beyond ridiculous, painful, sad & everything else.. WE HAVE TO TAKE CHARGE, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIS!!

Children among 27 US school dead

So.. I don't really know what to say. Some sick inhuman goes & shoots kids. WTF! What's wrong with this country? what's wrong with society? what's wrong with people? These shootings have been too frequent now, seems like every other day. Why police, government & society is not doing anything substantial & significant to stop this? There has to be better gun control in America, has to be. This is BS.. And, stricter laws & punishment to such offenders. Really strict, maybe brutal so other offenders can see what they are signing up for. Some of these people just wanna die, so punishment may not matter as much. We need to have punishment for there accomplices or people who knew & could have prevented these incidents. So others understand the punishments possible & try to protect these. And as a society we need to change the criminal mindset and improve this.. My deepest condolences to the families & everyone who lost there loved ones. Hope this changes & improves soon... All the America!!

Nokia

Finland: Life beyond Nokia? Nokia used to be THE CELLPHONE, THE MOBILE. back in India 5-10 yrs ago, Nokia was the best cell phone no questions asked. Now, its iPhone, Samsung, HTC & all other smartphones. Surprisingly Nokia couldn't catch up with technology of smartphones. They partnered with Microsoft but seems its not working. I ave neveer owned a nokia phone, but my dad still hs Nokia 33** and it still works. But you gotta keep up with the game to continue. Good luck Nokia, seems most of the people ne tumko No-kia (its hindi, meaning said NO)!!

Indians in national anthem record

Indians in national anthem record.. Sweet. India held the record which was broken by Pakistan. SO India re-did the record lol. Pretty cool. With 1 billion plus population, I would expect at least we can pull this off. If you are an Indian, do you remember the National Anthem? Do you understand the meaning of it? Do you like it??

Another stupid traffic law in India?

TOI: Get real, don't make laws that can't be enforced: Cops... In India, laws are already a tool for the corrupt cops to make money. Some laws are extremely outdated & stupid. And we still keep coming with stupider laws.. Not to use digital handheld devices, even GPS, kidding me? Please grow up politicians & make more sensible & useful laws.
