For those who visit Tirupati just for the two laddoos that come free with the darshan ticket, extremely sorry. No more. Be prepared to shell out Rs 10 per laddoo, after queuing for hours together and getting a darshan that hardly lasts for a second. And tell you what, there is a ration of two per devotee. The Thiumala Thirupathi Devasthanam (TTD) has made the change stating that the free laddoos were cutting into the temple’s annual budget of Rs 40 crore. Things became far worse when they noted that there was black marketing. Nearly tow lakh laddoos are prepared each day by the TTD. Over 60,000 devotees visit the shrine every day. The delightful sweet rolls of ghee, camphor and cardamom might rake in the moolah but this recent decision will definitely be difficult for the devotees to digest.

Quick put down
General Deepak Kapoor is a prolific speaker and is known for being politically correct always. But on December 18 at a press conference on human rights at the Institute for Defence and Strategic Analyses in New Delhi, he accused the media of highlighting human rights violations by his troops in the northeast and in Jammu and Kashmir, while ignoring atrocities of terrorists on civilians. The statement didn’t go down well with his boss, Defence Minister AK Antony. He told reporters that the top brass of the armed forces should ensure that no violation of human rights took place at any level. The media is doing their job, he said. He further added that though cases of human rights violations by security forces have been rare, even a single instance of human rights violation is totally unacceptable. Well, that was quite a pointed statement.
