as always, shri shenoy lambasts political hypocrisy and public inaction tinged with skepticism. mr shenoy, i too pray that you are wrong in your doomsday predictions but excepting the elections, when do you get to lick the KKK's (Khadi, Khaki and Kavi (ochre colour)) ? The swami-neta nexus is undoing us more than the netas cohorting because the former is opium for the masses (sorry comrades, stealing your phrase) Give us a chance in our ordinary lives like on the Mumbai train or Telengana wilds or Mangalore hotels - you know what i mean. educate me to spend a thousand rupees to print a pamphlet asking netas some hard questions - and speak fearlessly in public. Otherwise the wise saws could be just foaming at the mouth.
