Bird brained? Penguins are cute but isn’t spending Rs 15 crore on them a case of misplaced priorities?

The crores we're spending on baby penguins at Byculla zoo – we have nothing against penguins, but there are many other problems, such as tracing Maharashtra's former home minister and the ex -police commissioner of Mumbai

Dear Ganeshji, Sorry boss, but you will have to work overtime this year and remove hazaar obstacles on a top priority basis. Forget big, big global problems such as solving the Taliban issue which has turned out to be far trickier than even US President Joe Biden imagined. But do drum some sense into the prime minister of our neighbouring country. Shri Imran Khan thinks he has staged a political coup by cosying up to the Taliban. Please whisper ‘As if….!” into his ear. And while you are at it, let the Chinese Premier also know that we know his game plan! Kya samajhte hai apne aap ko, yeh dono!


Closer to home, we have ginormous problems waiting for your good self to solve, particularly now when you are amongst us for the next few days. Please give our intelligence services and the police force your gyaan, Sirji. Especially our cops in Maharashtra, who claim they are unable to trace two ‘gayaab’ men — the ‘honourable’ former Home Minister, Shri Anil Deshmukh, and the high-profile former Police Commissioner of Mumbai, Shri Parambir Singh.
