Ernest Hemingway wrote: The government that uses its machine guns against its own people, cannot last. In India, the above may be amended to: The government that uses its guns against its own people. People armed with lathis and sickles, and kills them. Cannot last.

"[Police Officer] Mohali SSP Complains Against Ness Wadia."
It seems to be a family habit. The Wadias own Bombay Dyeing and a lot of land in Mumbai.
My grandson worked for Jay Wadia for a short while. One day the poor chap went to Wadia's office to ask for his wages. All he got for his efforts were two tight slaps.

INDIA SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH N-DEAL KALAM
Article in Mumbai Miror
Dear Shri APJ:
These are leeches you are asking us to deal with. Leeches that will only suck our blood and cast us aside when they have no further use for us.
I was double-crossed by the US Army in 1945.
My boss was stabbed in the back in 1981.
I can send you a book that may open your eyes.
I pray the Good Lord will guide you to the right path.
With respect.

TOP LYRICIST SUED FOR TELL-ALL SAGA
(headline in Mumbai Mirror)
Dear Rukhsar Behn,
Tis a waste of time and money. This dragging the poor chap to court. Nida Bhai says he is a writer. What does he know about litigation?
And besides. He has not gone far enough. Rumor has it that Kamaal Sahib used to beat a beautiful actress black and blue. Until she found
out what magic was contained in a bottle. And she went on drinking till she was in a rosy haze. And she liked the feeling so much and she
drank so much her kidneys rebelled. And they led her to the garden of roses. Where she now plays with the houris. There is no one to beat
her. And no need of scotch.
The sensible thing to do now is to write to Nida Sahib thus: "I am sorry. I was hasty. I was ill-advised. Please forgive me."
