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?"

With regards,

Lesson Number 3



Yesterday was a field day for TV channels


Panel experts were screaming :


>  Prashant Bhushan wants to hand over Kashmir to Pakistan


>  Rakhi Bidlan is a compulsive liar, who seeks cheap publicity by alleging
    terrorist attack on her car


>  Kumar Vishwas is hiding communal skeletons in his cupboard


>  Aam Aadmi Party is falling apart


>  AAP has no experience in governing


>  AAP has neither a Vision , nor a Policy on any national matter


>  In trying to contest Lok Sabha elections , AAP is biting off more than
    what it can chew


>  AAP has no clue about financing government expenditure . By subsidizing
    Water / Power etc , it will bankrupt the Delhi government


>  AAP is indulging in populist give-away with an eye on 2014


>  AAP is shying away from catching corrupt Congressmen


>  AAP is a B-Team of Congress / hand-in-glove with Congress / stooge of
    Congress


>  AAP ministers are practicing phony simplicity to fool people



Amidst a free-for-all  " VERBATHON " amongst the so-called experts and the vociferous / dominating TV anchors , these are a few comments I could catch  !


Now , don't blame the TV anchors


Their own annual salary-increase depends upon the TRP rating of the show !


But as far as the experts are concerned , they were engaged in a game of one-up-man ship !


Each was trying to prove that ,



>  he had more negative opinions about AAP


>  he could do a better job of provoking AAP leaders


>  he had , at his command , many more words to run down AAP



But thank God , Arvind and his team ,



>  readily admitted their shortcomings


>  apologized for their mistakes


>  refused to get drawn into a controversy


>  did not get provoked



A classic example of an elephant ignoring the barking of dogs  !


In short , they kept their COOL


DEAR  ARVIND  ,


Congrats  !


You did well in your lesson number 3 , viz ;



KEEP  COOL  /  KEEP  POLITE
