Jiabao wants to meet some Indian entrepreneurs and hear the story of their success from their own lips.' If anyone knows the truth about Bangalore, it's me. Jiabao is on a mission: he wants to know the truth about Bangalore.' Because if you are, I have something important to tell you. That's why I want to ask you directly if you really are coming to Bangalore. Now, you are visiting us this week, Your Excellency, aren't you? All India Radio is usually reliable in these matters. But whenever I see our prime minister and his distinguished sidekicks drive to the airport in black cars and get out and do namastes before you in front of a TV camera and tell you about how moral and saintly India is, I have to say that thing in English. In my way, sir, I consider myself one of your kind.

In fact, each time when great men like you visit our country I say it. today, which was about ten minutes ago, when the lady on All India Radio announced, 'Premier Jiabao is coming to Bangalore next week,' I said that thing at once. Ashok's ex-wife, Pinky Madam, taught me one of these things and at 11:32 p.m. Neither you nor I speak English, but there are some things that can be said only in English.
