    Nitin,

    Is this some evil conspiracy of yours to be the unquestioned shogun of Indian blogdom :-|

    Gaurav,

    Far from it. A site that goes by the name of the Indian National Interest must comprise of a variety of voices that articulate it. No shoguns, and indeed, no unquestioned ones!

    Nitin,

    That was a joke, I was being tongue in cheek. No malice was intended.

    Regards

    Nitin:
    I would also add “sakkath” in addition to “bombaat”… thats one other word that conveys “superb”..
    Actually superb is IMHO a paler version of both “sakkath” & “bombaat”

    Gaurav – No offence taken.

    Huvishka – superb can’t even begin doing justice to such gems as “bombaat” and “sakkath”.

    BB — not to be a quibbler, but your blog is near unreadable because of the black background.
