It's only words

Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Arun Jaitley sparring in the Rajya Sabha attracted much attention online. As Kiran Kumar S put it, 'The debate probably covered more points than all of Rahul Gandhi's speeches.' Someone using the handle Chughster had this to say: 'Arun Jaitley is to arguments what Manmohan Singh is to silence.' Sucheta Dalal weighed in with: 'Jaitley brilliant. Wouldn't it be wonderful it he was always consistent to one side ufffd as a lawyer he's equally good for the wrong causes!' And from Rahul Sharma: 'Kanimozhi has just graced the Rajya Sabha, which is discussing a bill against corruption.'

First blood



'First came the Khanna. Then came the Khan. Happy Birthday to the First Superstar of Bollywood.' That tweet, from MTV India, was one of many wishing Rajesh Khanna a happy birthday. In Pawan Durani's words: 'Today is the birthday of Khanna and cricketer Syed Kirmani. Both never let go of the catch in their best days.'

The last word
From filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma: 'I guess the primary difference between Gandhiji and Annaji is that Gandhiji only had followers, never a team.'
