The tale of the 56 inch chest.

56 inch ki chhaati. The ruling party leaders - with all good intentions have a motor-mouth disease which has no lesser than the prime minister worried. Whether it's Sakshi Maharaj on the religious topics or more recently Rajyavardhan Rathore on the Myanmar operation. Picture I personally am very pleased that India carried out that military operation in Myanmar & followed the "pursue & destroy" policy in that particular instance. Very laudable. With the Myanmar experience I was positive that "achche din" have indeed arrived. Last year, I was terribly aghast whenever the Congress meekly responded to the Chinese sitting 15 kilometers inside India's boundary. That said, I also think there is a real problem with us & it lies in the over-zealousness of the ministers from this government to speak out of turn. This fellow Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (an eminent sports medalist & MoS in the current government) went beyond his remit & announced to the world how India has found a spring in it's step under Modi & how we will respond in similar fashion to any country playing with our integrity..how the 56 inch chest is for everyone to see & how it was Modi who asked for this to be an overt operation (& not covert). Doing more & speaking less should be our virtue. The moment you speak something before doing, an expectation is set. If you don't reach it, you become the laughing stock of the world (read Pakistan). Yesterday, there was a terror attack in Punjab & I had hoped for India to give a befitting reply to Pakistan. But this topic is currently under the clouds because of the untimely & unfortunate death of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. (and rightly so - all respect to the noble soul). I am interested in seeing the response of India 7 days from now. Will the 56 inch chest show up now? Or was it just for Myanmar. I am waiting with bated breath & I believe, so is Rahul Gandhi :)
