Good grief, these people are so lame.
Another Wannabe bad-mouthing the third world while living in the first-world.
Can't Doom-is-me do what all wannabe losers do and just write about the tiresome topic of how, with a population of a billion or so, India doesn't do so great at the Olympics? (Even though Indians are actually very good at sport.) He can then blame "caste" or curry or something for how India is uniformly Bad Show there.
Hey, why is Dhume's name vaguely familiar? And Wall Street Journal... Could he be the dude who made the news recently for coining that utterly uninspired phrase "twagiarism" (tweet+plagiarism - not very inventive is he, give him a Nobel for Lit). You know, when some Miss India tweeted his words on Twitter without doing it the proper way to acknowledge the Original Twit* (i.e. Dhume) behind her tweet? * Oops. Typo.
Yeah, I was right, it's him:

And *This* is the dude who people here want to take seriously?
Typical. IF members - Indian goody-two-shoes - always give an intellectual response to everything. Stop It.
This is all the answer required:
Dude's probably some scrawny "I wish I was at least a brainiac, but all I am is an all-round loser" who got beat up by girls in school. In fact, Miss India already sounds sufficiently annoyed with him to beat him up for us. I suspect one hardly needs to egg her on to do it. Go Miss India Go :cheer:

Quote:Vasuki Sunkavalli: Miss India Universe 2011 accused of 'twagiarism'Check out Doom's condescencion, down to even threatening that she looks better in a swimsuit (yeah duh, doesn't everyone) in order to shut her up.

Miss India Universe 2011 Vasuki Sunkavalli whose first 29 tweets included seven that were directly lifted from Wall Street Journal columnist Sadanand Dhume without credit or that most basic of Twitter functions: a Retweet. Once he noticed, Dhume good-naturedly pointed out his words being passed off as her own.
"Twagiarism! @vasukisunkavali: Memo to Indian MPs - only banana republics go after private citizens for saying rude things about politicians," he tweeted to his nearly 4,000 followers after a random search of "India" and "banana republic" caused him to stumble across his familiar words in her Twitter feed.
Once her error was pointed out, Sunkavalli did not try to hide her mistake, "It wasn't accidental. Can't possibly cut copy AND paste accidentally now can I? Just didn't know the technical know how of 'retweeting,'" she explained.
Graciously Dhume let the incident go, while getting in the last word, "Miss India @vasukisunkavali shares my exact views on Manmohan, democracy, Gandhi family & HRK's Birkin. But looks better in a swimsuit."

Quote:I am the author of My Friend the Fanatic: Travels with a Radical IslamistHe can forget the Nobel prize for literature. That title sounds like plagiarism of form: there was a brit film from the 90s or so about brit pakis called "My son the fundamentalist" (or even: "My son, the fanatic").
