Snuffed Friendship

Sacrificing a minor pleasure to gain a major goal is a habit with politicians, snooty or snotty. Former civil aviation minister C.M.Ibrahim who is known for his one liners and ablity to quote from the holy books , was a confirmed snuff addict. He claimed that it sharpened his cerebral cells ! Ibrahim has now given up the habit. He has voweed to not to use the snuff until he brings down friend- turned foe H.D.Deve Gowda. When Gowda was the PM, Ibrahim was the second most powerful man in the government. How long will Ibrahim have to go snuff- less is anybody's guess

Commodes in arms !

After all the ballyhoo about skeletons in the dawai, it looks like the Left parties have made up with Baba Ramdas ( Yoga expert ). the recent centre for Sceince and Enviroment report on pesticides in aerated drinks sparked off a heated debate in Parliament with members castigating the colas. A prominent left MP revealed that when he emptied a bottle of a popular soft drink in to his lavatory, the loo gleamed and sparkled as never before ! Curiously, Bab Ramdev has been narrating the same anexdote as he pontificates on the ill effects of the colas

Hope you guys had a good weekend
