Hindustan Times Leadership Summit

Hindustan Times organises a Leadeship Summit every year. It helps the newspaper asserts its own leadership in the media jungle by getting some big names like noted murderer Prachanda and leaders like Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor speak at this summit.

This year George Bush is delivering the keynote address. The topic is 'US re-engaging with the world'. What the hell does that mean? US is bombing two countries, might get some others bombed soon, is being targeted by terrorists at its embassies, is torturing us with its horrible movies lately, and also Metallica is sounding shit in Death Magnetic. It's too engaged with the world already.

George Bush is no longer President either. How is he re-engaging? Co-speaker Kareena Kapoor may be what he has in mind.
