Just 4 days back there was this bizarre announcement of resuming the India-Pakistan dialogue - a dialogue which had been frozen ever since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. As blogged earlier, it has been an insidious longing of a few Indian Prime Ministers who have had the misfortune of being born in present day Pakistan, before Independence and partition, to somehow produce ‘peace’ between their birth-land and homeland.
On which they are often willing to be extraordinarily understanding about the ‘Pakistan’ positions. The dialogue was broken off after the 2008 Pakistan sponsored Mumbai terror attacks. Now if that dialogue has to be resumed there has to be some forward movement - something that the Pakistanis have done or said, which would give a hope for some peaceful solution.
So, what have the peaks done over the last few months?
To add insult to injury, a day later, he even had the gall to pooh-pooh away the goof-up. Wonder if he has a habit of waking up and putting on his wife’s panties, the scholar intellect. Thus the original line must have been ‘NOT talking’, which with such a smart incomparable person at the helm, must have morphed into ‘WANT talking’.
My Wicked Half whispers. ‘Oh! Gee! Maddie! He only got his lines crossed; not his dress or his head. (as far as you know)’

- Last week of Jan 2011 the Indian Foreign Secretary criticized Pakistan for not doing enough to combat terror.
- First week of Jan 2011, the Pakistanis stopped en-route onion exports, which were meant as a crutch to divert criticism of the Indian government on food inflation.
- The Basmati rice exports from India to Europe are expected to drop this year because of competition from Pakistan
- The Pakistanis don’t even want to accept, instead disparaged flood aid from India
- Even their protector, Uncle Sam has broken off trilateral talks with the Pakis, right now
