Last night, I was flipping through channels and discovered that Star World was playing old The West Wing reruns. Last night’s episode was the one where the president had to deal with a skirmish along the Line of Control that separates Pakistan and India in the northernmost state of Jammu & Kashmir. I had seen the episode before many years ago, actually, but it gives it a different perspective actually watching it in India and hearing about places I just visited a couple months ago on a road trip.

So, then I see this headline on the news today, same location:
Pakistan violates ceasefire again, fires at Indian posts

Dude!

But I suppose it must not be that big a deal as it did not make it to BBC or anything. Only locally.

In unrelated news…

There are many Gods in India. But none so worshiped as:

Sachin Tendulkar

If you live in India, then you know about this dude. He’s “widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman in cricket.” After playing his 200th game, he will retire next month.

This news did make the BBC.

And tonight… the conclusion of The West Wing arc. Hope it ends peacefully!
