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 believe its still a tie, should we flip a coin? ;) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 11:20:20 +0530 From: ashwin.baindur(a)gmail.com To: wikimedia-in-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-in-en] Please suggest topics/vote for INCOTM February 2012 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_t… 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.

Thanks Tinu, by your recusing your former vote, the issue is settled. We have INCOTM of February 2012 - Dance in India. There is another logic - we have had three biographies so far. Its time we stooped focusing on personalities. Perhaps its time we go after what is nutritious rather than "fast food".
