Flower-bud's husband, what can I say about him, after all we did get drunk at a function at Jaipur (after OE and Flower-bud had left) while ogling at women - he is a really nice guy. I actually feel sorry for him. And the thought of Flower-bud and him spawning is - ugh! Poor guy! Flower-bud on the other hand will prolly end up driving the group into oblivion - there are lessons here for me to learn.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1128151435919912932005-10-01T12:53:00.000+05:302005-10-01T12:53:00.000+05:30OE has a dikra?

K, how do you compare their situation to that of another dikri who calls the shots at a workplace that you were intimately familiar with.

By the way, what really surprised me is that the owner-editor is gradually withdrawing from day-to-day affairs. I mean, this is the man who wouldn't let a comma be inserted in the magazine without his approval!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1128112326364615932005-10-01T02:02:00.000+05:302005-10-01T02:02:00.000+05:30K, thanks for the tag, and I responded to it just ...K, thanks for the tag, and I responded to it just now (in a very long-winded way). <BR/><BR/>I'm so dismayed to hear that SB is a pompous dickweed. Years ago, I had invited him to come and speak at a seminar forum in our department on the Human Development Report (he was the only Indian journalist who covered it regularly). I thought he spoke very well, with a lot of common sense. And he was a very gracious man too.
