MY SINS HAVE BEEN CLEANSED: NALINI
(Headlines in Times of India)
But this is wonderful! Almost as wonderful as Mrs. Stanes saying she has forgiven those who killed her husband and children.
Now comes the $64= question: Who will forgive Ibrahim Dawood Bhai?

I WON'T BUDGE.
I WON'T BUDGE. [His Response to North Indians being Targeted for Removal in Mumbai]
(Mr. Amitabh Bachhan in the Mumbai Mirror)
Wah! Wah! Mr. Bachhan. At last one brave soul has stood up to say: Hell, no. I won't go. Wish there were more like you.
I used to wonder: What's that white Van Dyke beard doing there, when his hair is all black? No more. We are living in a democracy.
Every man must be allowed some leeway in establishing his own identity.
Mr. Raj Thakeray replies (shamefacedly?) "We never asked him to leave."
Of course not, Raj Bhai. Whoever asked a cow to leave his TABELA. Especially when he could milk her daily. Maybe twice.

"READER, WE HAVE BEEN HAD"
To the Editor of Mumbai Mirror
Sir:
This refers to your story in your excellent paper entitled:
"READER, WE HAVE BEEN HAD." [In reference to a false filmy story timely planted by publicity seeking actors]
Reading between the lines, one is driven to one of the following conclusions:
1. That you were born yesterday and are more innocent than the most innocent babe on earth.
2. That you were born on 14 December 1916 and now it is time for you to seek a golden handshake.
In case I offend thee I hasten to touch thy feed and to mumble: "Please forgive me." One condition tho.
Daily you must write 21 lines, thus: "Lord God, please grant me a tiny bit of Thy wisdom."

Man Returns Rs. 96,750 (Headline Mumbai Mirror)
To the gentleman who returned:
Sir,
You may be interested in the story of the man who DID NOT return...
One day I sent one of my colleagues to the RBI to get some one rupee notes. In those days, they were still printing them. The man took the money (Rs. 100) went to the bank and returned in the afternoon with two bundles of one rupee notes.
I explained to my colleague that a mistake had been made and asked him to return one bundle to the bank.
The next day the man was absent. On the third, when he reported for work, I asked him what went wrong. "Oh," he said "my brother-in-law fell off the train and we had to attend his funeral."

Finance Minister P. Chidambaram
April 1, 2008
Mr. Chidambaram is a wonderful man. He loves to collect taxed: 27 crores rom SRK, one crore plus from Ash, and so on.
But how about the tax wrongly collected? Or collected when the Assessee is below the tax net? At such times Mr. Chidambaram hides in a corner and pretends he doesn't know me.
