“Hey! Hey what are you doing?”

“Taking you into custody sir!”

“But do you know who I was?”

“Yes sir, that is why we are taking you into custody!”

“But this is no way to treat a former minister!”

“We have no choice!”

“Who said that?”

“Who said what sir?”

“A lady’s voice just spoke to me in Tamil!”

“It is me!”

“You? You’re the one who took over my post. Why have you taken me into custody?”

“For questioning!”

“I have answered everything in the last questioning! Are these different questions?”

“Yes!”

“Okay, ask!”

“How do we get the economy back into shape?”

“What?”

“You were the one who made the ‘Dream Budget’ weren’t you?”

“Yes!”

“So please answer my question!”

“B..but!”

“How do we stop businessmen from committing suicide?”

“You want me to help you with answers to such questions?”

“How can we get people to start buying cars again?”

“Why are you asking me such questions?”

“Didn’t the economy grow under you?”

“Yes!”

“How?”

“Can you unlock my handcuffs?”

“Why?”

“Because that will be the first step towards the economy growing again!”

“By removing your handcuffs?”

Yes ma’am, I hope my Tamil is chaste enough for you to understand, but by unlocking my handcuffs, removing the gags on writers, taking off the blindfolds from the eyes of a gullible public, by lowering your rhetoric of hate, and by checking your need to have revenge on all who don’t agree with you, will be the beginning of getting the country back to shape! Here I’m holding out my hands, remove my handcuffs!”

“I can’t!”

“Then madam, there’s nothing I can do. Only when you and your friends stop concentrating on handcuffing, blindfolding and gagging, and start concentrating on the real issues at hand, also change your focus from brawn to brain, then and only then will our country have a dream economy again!”

“What did he say in Tamil ma’am?”

“He said nothing..!”

Grooms know this; Everyone is watching the bride but the bride only sees you.

And so, here are a few tips for all the grooms this season.

Make your first and the best impression with a Classic Haircut.

Straight edge razor are always recommended for a clean shave.

Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale so let’s be prepared.

A lot of people pluck their eyebrows for the first time just before the big day and that’s the biggest mistake. Do not experiment anything new on your big day.

Don’t forget your hands.

When the couple exchange their wedding rings, everyone’s eyes focus on the hands of the couple. Almost all the photographers all round the world takes ring pictures of the bride and the groom holding hands. So neat and clean fingernails are a must.

Visit your hair stylist atleast twice a month before your wedding day to get adjusted to your new haircut.

Show off your smile with a sparkling teeth.

A few months before the wedding consult your dentist. Schedule an appointment for a couple of weeks before for teeth cleaning and whitening.

Keep breath mints in your pocket for last minute freshening if needed.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Stay tuned for another exciting topic in our next edition until then love yourself, spread happiness and take good care of yourself.

Without going into the merits or demerits of the events in Kashmir, I feel that India has the biggest opportunity here of showing the world, a healing! What was used here, was a heavy hand and such heavy hands are used quite often in times of war and when other means have failed.

I will try to draw parallels from two such occasions.

When the American Civil war took place late in the nineteenth century, it was bitter fighting between the forces of the Union and the Confederates. From facts I have garnered it was not an easy decision for Abraham Lincoln to go to war with his own countrymen, but for the sake of truth, which the American Constitution proclaimed, that all men are equal, even slaves, Lincoln did, and after bitter battles, finally won.

But did the Union later treat the Confederate states as scum? Did they after the battle, make them hate their own motherland which had fought with them, and even made them lose husbands and fathers? No after the war, came a time of healing. A healing so huge, so big, and of such magnitude that today the people of those same southern states do not think of themselves as any different from those of the rest of the US.

Immediately after the war, came a healing.

Two bombs were thrown on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to put an end to World War II but after that occupation forces, including some from India, with an uncle of mine being part of it, rebuilt Japan under the leadership of Gen MacArthur!

Again, a time of healing.

No rancor exists today or hatred towards the allies for defeating them!

India has got such an opportunity today. We did not use force but the powers of Parliament, and with that Kashmir is now wholly and totally a part of our country. Here’s our chance to show our brothers and sisters there that we have come to heal. Here’s our chance to show the world that we are by nature a firm but gentle people, that we can be stern yet compassionate.

It won’t be easy, and many an occasion will arise when retaliation from disgruntled elements may provoke us to use force to quell, to use a heavy hand to overpower, but if we can restrain ourselves, here’s an appropriate occasion to teach a rift widening world, the power of a healing touch!

Here at last, through a Kashmir healing, is a window to show the world, what our ancient Indian culture of peace can bring about, better than swords and guns and brute force can ever do!

This is an opportunity to heal..!
