Heard after hearing Ravi Shankar Prasad's summon a scared Mark Zuckerberg is scrambling to board the latest flight to Delhi.
Reminds me of this incident which happened decades ago in Odisha. In a meeting, the then Editor of the Odia Daily MATRUBHUMI (Motherland) Balakrushna Kar was having a tete a tete with the much Revered Godabarisha Mishra (A Freedom fighter and renowned philanthropist, one the famous PANCHA SAKHA or Five Friends which included Gopandhu Das and Nilakantha Das).
Mr. Kar boasted - "Today I taught a lesson to America". "What do you mean by that ?", asked Godabarisha Mishra. Continued Balakrushna Babu with a sense of pride and accompliment, "On my Editorial page, I have grilled the Americans with so much that...". In the meantime an inquisitive public stared gathering, listening to their conversation.
The witty Godabarisha Babu responded sarcastically - "Oh, Ok. I got it. Because of your editorial story, today they stopped cooking dinner in the White House". Seems an apprehensive Priscilla Chan has stopped cooking at her California home ever since Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has issued summons to her Facebook founder husband.
