Panchkula Sunday ,Oct.,22nd 2006. Diplomatic espionage is derigueur.Every diplomat knows that he is in a foreign country to promote and pursue interests of his own state often at the cost of diplmatic decencies and suborning the vulnerable locals to promote espionage for one's masters at home. In the bargain if he is once in a while subjected to third degree by local Anti -Espionage estt. the diplomats should have the poker face and hard hide to stand such professional hazards.This is the less alluring side of highly glamorous game of genteel philanderers, seducers , and imbibing large draughts of classy cocktails and embedding desmondes..D.Goel
