It's amazing how alcohol has not been banned across India yet. As so many of our learned ministers point out often, drinking is not part of our culture. Pic/AFP

No stupid decisions were made by the people in power this week. This came as a surprise and, for a few minutes, it didn't even feel like I was living in India anymore. No one was outraged by anything other than an app either, which annoyed me enormously because I believe we lose a little of our 'Indianness' when we fail to be outraged by things that don't deserve much attention. None of our ministers said anything uncouth or callous, although I blame that on the long weekend, during which they must have taken some time off to relax. After all, everyone knows how tiring it is to raise slogans in the Parliament for a living.
