Oh James, when will you ever learn

I have grown up reading Amar Chitra Katha stories, Aesops fables, Hitopadesh etc. I even had most of those comics in my collection. All stories had a moral at the end which somehow stays with you even when you have outgrown the comics. One such story I remember is about 2 monkeys fighting over a peice of meat and a cunning fox who offers to divide the meat equally between the two. Let me give you a refresher...

Two monkeys were fighting amongst themselves to divide a peice of meat into two equal parts. Along came a fox. So, He offered the monkeys to divide the meat for them and they let him do it. But, the two pieces of meat were not equal so the wise fox nibbled and nibbled to try to make them the same for each monkey. Suddenly, the meat was gone and the monkeys were left whining while the fox ran away laughing. Those monkeys had learned a lesson - Dont let others take advantage of your internal quarrels.

This was just a story, but the moral still applies to real life. If we think of Pakistan as the wily fox, there should be no prizes for guessing who the monkeys were and what the meat is. Nevertheless, lets thank the deserving people of India for everything that we have achieved so far.

Dear Politicians,
Thank you for putting Pune on the International map. We couldn't have done this without you.

Regards,
Common man

Have we learnt the lesson yet?
