First of all, #RANDI was a unique self-inflicted wound; an own-goal if there was one. The Chinese use you for their counter-pivot to America’s Asia pivot – of which India is the main lever – and you call the joint think-tank RANDI. Which wise guy thought of that one? Anyhow the Indian press was over the moon. A $46 billion development package – far bigger, in fact, than America’s pivot largesse that came India’s way – and the media just won’t move beyond ‘misogyny’, ‘irony’, ‘chauvinism’, etc.

And social media was even more ecstatic. That, more than the mainstream press, even turned nationalistic. They seemed to have ‘nailed it’. Yet no matter how confounded the acronym of the name of the combined think tank, the fact remains China’s pivot will carve a new reality through Asia far quicker than America’s pivot in the Asia Pacific. And the biggest change will run right through Pakistan, with all its spill-over, trickle-down, you name it. Will leave it to their press to decide who gets ‘penetrated’ there.

  1. As the actual name signifies these tiles tend to be interlocking, now exactly what does interlocking means is a great question. Sometime it's a pattern that's the replica from the pattern about the next tile and it is sometimes a correct defined closing that compliment another tiles.INTERLOCKING PLAYGROUND MATS
