You must all excuse me for my silence so long. We have a 14 hour per day power cut and the UPS Battery has no time to get fully charged.

Oliver Cromwell's speech is great. Will we get a Cromwell now in India ?

Happy birthday, Prashanth!

UK's Rump Parliament - Cromwell's speech

Interesting reading.  I am sure everyone will enjoy it.
Jayaraman

Oliver Cromwell MP's speech on the dissolution of the Rump of the Long Parliament, given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653. 

"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice;

ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government;

ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would, like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone!

So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!"

Birthday greetings to Mahalakshmi and Vinayak (2nd November) and Sashank (5th November).
