NewsMuse - AHB...

This would be a irregularly regular post on some news item / fact that I come across in a magazine, newspaper etc…

Muse: To start off, read a news snippet in “The Week” magazine dated july 3rd, 2005… It says, “Beggars in Calcutta, West Bengal have formed an association called ‘Association of Honest Beggars’. By terming ‘Honest’, this association weeds off those beggars with criminal records.”

Thought: If honesty can be looked at in a profession (?!) like begging, why not in politics too? For sure, majority of state assemblies and a good section of national assembly would get left out of the association – Not that it is gonna mean anything to them…. All in the game!
