      " Trust me,he will behave himself"

      buzz by nikhimenon@gmail.com

      "//He Will Behave Himself. Trust Me, He Will Behave Himself//"- oops.! Its not nikhimenon  justifying his pet dog through his blog.He is just quoting a corporate lobbyist . Apparently Ms Nira Radia,(tata ji's privacy keeper) was referring to the (former) telecom minister of the largest democracy!

      Ps: Neither the desi news channels nor the sardesais' seem to have heard this.So posting it here too.
      Hats off to Outlook india,shame on you Barkha!
