Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Want to contest elections ?



In India, candidates contesting elections to local bodies must have passed 8th standard of school.

That is no problem.

Now the minister for rural development wants to enforce an old provision that makes it mandatory for candidates to have a toilet in their residence.

Minister Jayant Patil tells candidates,

“ I can understand that you cannot build a Taj Mahal for your wife. But if you truly care and love her, you can at least provide a toilet.

  Does any husband like to see his wife squatting in the open in the absence of toilets at home ? “

Yes Minister – I mean No Minister !

He could have added that the nice thing about a toilet is that it can be built during a wife’s lifetime – unlike Taj Mahal which took 30 years to build !

With regards
