| Go 92.5 is gone! | |
| They have never played my song, or read out my traffic bulletin, or any of my other smses, leading me to often think I was on their RJs' blacklist, but that did not prevent Go 92.5 from being my favourite FM station. The only one I tuned in to.Few things represented the Mumbai spirit to me, and Go 92.5 was one of them.It was more than 10 years ago,...

| Flyover blues II | |
| The Nightingale is getting a lot of flak for opposing the flyover at Peddar Road.DNA, in a scathing editorial, says Lata Mangeshkar has hit the wrong notes on the issue.'Mangeshkar is only one—though with the highest public profile—of the many objectors.

| Advani uncovered |
| L K Advani’s Bharat Suraksha Yatra is politically not as marvellous as his Ram Janambhoomi Yatra of 16 years ago. But now that he is 16 years older, he does attract sympathy from the crowds on that single count.Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in fact introduced Advani in some dozen meetings as the “old man” who is worried about “national secur...
