Daily Words of the Buddha 

Yathāpi pabbato selo,
acalo suppatiṭṭhito,
evaṃ mohakkhayā bhikkhu,
pabbatova na vedhatī.

Just as a mountain of rock,
is unwavering, well-settled,
so the monk whose delusion is ended,
like a mountain, is undisturbed.

Maya now wants reservation for Jats - The Times of India:

"LUCKNOW: UP chief minister and BSP supremo shot off yet another letter to prime minister Manmohan Singh demanding inclusion of Jats in central government's list of other backward classes (OBC). This is third letter to prime minister from Mayawati in last three days. While in the first letter she asked for constitutional amendment for Muslim quota in government jobs and educational institution, the second one was for giving reservation to poor upper castes. "
