Reddit thisIrony and the 4th Gen Dynast

Sam Pitroda on ‘The Rahul Gandhi I Know’
(Rediff) Q: Does he have a temper? A: I have not seen his temper at all. Q: Is he a connoisseur of fine wines? A: No, no. He doesn’t drink wine at all. No wine, no beer, nothing. He’s a teetotaller. (Also: nice pics, including of Priyanka). [via]

Sonia Gandhi endures
(Economist) Sonia Gandhi’s done all right in her decade in politics, but why force Rahul, yet another Gandhi? The kindest view is that other Indian parties are just as nepotistic.
