To,Prof.Kalantri,on Binayak Sen

[Guest guest]

Thanx,Prof for informing us about the interview of Human Rights

activitist,Binayak Sen,with Karan Thapar,which we watched at 4.30pm,Indian

time,on monday,on CNN-IBN,in Riyadh.

But,knowing Karan Thapar and his intimidating style of asking qeustions...I for

one,did not like this grilling by him,of his very soft spoken guest,Dr.Binayak

Sen.

Having said that,I would like to know,ur views of this gentleman,with whom ur

now associated with,due to his new place of stay Wardha.

Meaning,just like,a Kidnapped victim,tends to have a softer heart towards the

Kidnapper,(A Stockholm Syndrome,if u may term)...many a times,these

activitist,seem to side with the Militant outfits..which sadly resulted in

Dr.Binayak Sen,being incarcerated by the state for probably 2 long yrs..

Hope,someday..he features in a nice interview..and gives us..what his views

r..and How he would want the state to deal with such outfits,in the future..

Would be a better talk show,I guess..

On an ending note...thanks Ashwani for posting his engagement ceremony pics on

FB..

The couple looked cute and made for each other.

Our best wishes to them,both again.

Regards.

> I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other toilet saying:

> 'Hi, how are you?'

>

> I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom but I don't know what

got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed,

> 'Doin' just fine!'

>

> And the other person says:

> 'So what are you up to?'

>

> What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre

so I say:

> 'Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!'

>

> At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another

question.

> 'Can I come over?'

>

> Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be

polite and end the conversation. I tell them

> 'No..I'm a little busy right now!!!'

>

> Then I hear the person say nervously...

>

> 'Listen, I'll have to call you back later. There's an idiot in the other

toilet who keeps answering all my questions.'

>

> Mobile phones!!!!,

> Don't you just love them
