Hit And Run
After two days of intense discussions and frenetic speculation, the Agra summit failed to reconcile the differences between the two countries. The inside story of what really happened. Were the two sides ever close to a settlement? What will be the consequences of a failed summit?

Gotcha!
That was the attitude of Pakistan's media managers who won the misinformation war against India.

Ominous Aftermath
The failure of the summit heralds more bloodshed in Kashmir. The average Kashmiri has much to fear.

A New Cleaner
UTI's new chief, M. Damodaran, is gearing up to restore its credibility and make it less of
a casino.

What's The Game?
Lack of planning may reduce the Rs 100-cr sports meet to a mere PR exercise.

NEWSNOTES

TREMORS Books: Tasted, Chewed, Digested
	Novels: Indo-Anglia is still a very appealing literary landscape. The fat advances from overseas publishers are luring everyone with a story to tell and the linguistic dexterity to do so.
	Biographies: Lives of political leaders, corporate hagiographies and novel-profiles on men-of-the-moment-there's a pile waiting to be picked up, read and debated about.
	Thrillers: From Tom Clancy's Striker to Jamyang Norbu's Sherlock Holmes, India is now the land of intrigue. Don't forget the foreign ministry babu, so what if his book isn't read.
	Travelogues: For a country that has inspired hordes of westerners on bikes, elephants, rafts or on foot to record its idiosyncrasies, very little is coming out now.
