In the firing line


The buzz is that the khakis are taking their anti-corruption crusade to the Punjab in the near future. In the firing line, says our mole, are two former chairmen of the Feral Bored of Ravioli, one former Feral Minstrel, one current Feral Minstrel and another current Provencal Minstrel. The former Feral Minstrel stands accused of massive hanky panky in the Nandipur power project. The current Feral Minstrel is said to be embroiled in land grabbing, while his junior colleague is similarly allegedly involved in various sins of commission. The former Feral Bored of Ravioli guys have also amassed huge fortunes, we hear, with one of them boasting a real estate empire in the US and UK. Fasten your seat belts folks!

Domestic politics


Poor guy! Not a moment of peace for The Great Khan, who’s now said to be embroiled in energy-sapping domestic politics. With his ex-wife in the dock courtesy his current wife, The Khan has hot footed it to London to cajole the mother of his sons. It’s no accident that he’s staying with his former mother-in-law (where his sons come and join him), much to the discomfort of his current wife. Tensions have been simmering since The Khan tied the knot with bhabi, of which his family disapproved, but matters came to a head when B made a series of forays into the media and politics. The situation exploded when London’s Daily Mail published an anti-bhabi article, citing her former husband’s statements. Bhabi’s relatives hit back by accusing The Khan’s ex of having planted the story. Then The Khan jumped into the fray and said his ex was incapable of such pettiness. The latter’s sulking nonetheless, we hear, so he’s gone to London to manao her.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, two of his Punjab stalwarts are at daggers drawn because once again, The Khan has put his foot in it and said that Server will be his candidate for Punjab’s top slot. What a life!
