@prasanna_s In cases like this allowing oneself with schadenfreude is legitimate no?

@prasanna_s what she gets is her narrow self interest. her references to others is just lip service I'm sure.

@vinayaravind @prasanna_s Exactly like an afterthought or as a footnote.“*just as* what is happening to the desperately poor people who are running around trying to prove their Indian citizenship is evil and wrong.”

@prasanna_s amazing that even at such a juncture in her and her son's life she is unable to shake off her sense of entitlement

@nit_set that sense of entitlement will follow her to her grave I think

@prasanna_s How does she get it? She's still ranting about why she should've gotten special treatment and even in this self pitying soliloquy, she manages to put in that she thought Taseer's article was inaccurate and also take a swipe at Rahul Gandhi. As recently as two weeks back she was singing Hindutva paeans . She doesn't get it, she's just upset that unlike Swapan, Gurumurthy, etc, she didn't qualify for special treatment.

@prasanna_s she's invested so deeply into voldemort, wonder if she can escape. Even for beloved beta.

@nit_set @prasanna_s Yeah. Had Shah came on line and gave her a spl hearing, all would have been fine and hunky dory in Madam's La La Land.

@amarsharma @nit_set @prasanna_s exactly!Even now, most new converts opened their eyes only to economic woes (that affected them); not to suppression of justice and ethics

@prasanna_s not just her but the IE also seems to be trying to redeem itself after giving much space to govt propaganda

@prasanna_s Just as I suspected:“His father’s name is on the affidavit I signed. When he turned 18, I tried to apply for another indefinite visa and was advised by the officials to get a PIO card instead. This I did and nobody asked me if his father was Pakistani”They didn’t have the four-drop rule for PIOs/ OCIs when Taseer applied for PIO. This was a rule that came 10+ years later. How fair is it to cancel a “lifelong” visa based on new rules?
