The INCOTM for Feb has two candidates exactly matched - [[Dance in India]] or [[A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam]] with ten votes each.
Please vote here for one of the two:

Of the two, I nominated Dance in India because we are focussing far too much on
personalities & biographies - we already had three so far - Manmohan Singh, Premchand
and Gandhi. Whereas "Dance in India" is a very high importance topic to India
and it really sucks.
On the other hand, Kalam is a very popular figure. So please choose wisely and let the vox
populi prevail.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Slightly off topic, something new on this months INCOTM-GA (Gandhi)-
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Mahatma-Gandhi-creates-fresh-recor…
Also, as you probably know, there are 2 sirens within a minutes gap that go off on the
morning of 30 Jan every year (yes, I heard it this morning and remembered). This is the 2
minute silence supposed to be maintained in honour of the father of the nation on his
death anniversary. Just after independence, people used to strictly follow this, to the
extent that people would stop their cars in the middle of the road, get out and stand in
silence. However, hardly anyone follows this today. I cant find a citation for this - can
anyone please chip in?
