Understanding 123

What a classic of the day!!!!

" "I have not understood what the deal is all about. Though I listened very attentively to the debate throughout yesterday (Monday), I could not make any head or tail out of it," Ahmed was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India.

"I will definitely vote against the government. If I, being a member of parliament, could not understand anything about the nuclear deal, then how can the people of the country follow it?" he said. " (LINK)

Now, how many government deals do a member of parliament really understand?!

I am sure even if we ask people whether they know anything about 123, most of them would know only about the "Ek, dho, theen" song with Madhuri dancing in it!

Infact, the only comforting factor of the day is what Churchill pointed out...

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

hi here,

Came across your blog.,. Quite an miscellany of different articles. Some articles were informative.. Liked it.
As for this article, to think how many deals have been rejected just because the MP's doesnt understands it and assumes that its not beneficial to the ppl of India as well !! one should salute his noBeL intention ;)
