So finally elections are over and so we are set to see a new set of jokers in government now. There have been some interesting articles in the news about the credentials of the top players:

Should I feel sad that we have such ppl coming into govt in India? Not at all! As is evident from the first article, jokers are just about everywhere. I am quoting something which I found very amusing just in case the first link becomes outdated:

""" I used to think Wodehouse was kidding, until I encountered (thankfully, in print, not in real life) Prince Philip, the husband of the British queen. This worthy came to India, visited Jallianwallah Bagh, and declared that the whole thing was overblown: not too many actually died there. On being asked how he arrived at this insightful observation, he confessed that General Dyer's son had told him. Dyer was the British general who had ordered the massacre at Jallianwallah Bagh! A truly objective man, his son must be.

In another incident, the ever-tactful Philip, on being shown some shoddy electrical work, suggested that it must have been done by (British) Indians. Talk of being sensitive. """

I will leave the wise reader to form his own opinions of the british 'monarchy'!
