My deep dark secret:

On weekdays that I work at home, I will sometimes go off for lunch to a nearby good Punjabi / Indian buffet lunch place and work over Mutter Paneer, naan and so on, finishing off with a nice Gulab Jamun or ten.  And I read the papers.  The freebie ones in the lobby for the locals to read about what's going on back in India

The Times of India and several other Indian papers are on the web. And Google News has an India edition; there are links to their thirty or so editions at the bottom of the http://news.google.com page. (Tangent: One of the Spanish-language pages is "Estados Unidos.")

The Hindu Nationalists seem to be working hard at disproving the theory that only monotheists are capable of religious bigotry.

Yes, but who out there who isn't Indian reads them? The Rediff people had quite a bit on the death of that missionary.

Good God. No, not at all. I'm pretty good at German, can puzzle my way through French, and know a smattering of Spanish and Chinese, and bits of a few others, but read any South Asian language? I'm doing good if I could tell them apart. It's all in English.

Der Spiegel's online now, in both German and English.

Interesting. I mostly read it to keep my German up, but...thanks.
