I had hoped that an intellectual and diplomat in the ministry would be a great step forward for the Indian Political Scenario.. That respect is dwindling by the day! Can understand the tweets, the bloopers but underhand dealings? Why does he need to get into this? <br /><br />When i think back and reflect that this was a man who was a serious contender for UN Secretary General, I shudder..

There's never a dull moment moment with this guy. Let's hope he persists with his taste for his feet..they seem permanently stuck in his mouth. I'm not complaining...don't even have to make the effort to switch to the saas-bahu channels these days once you watch the news!CB Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611079327251640141noreply@blogger.com
