Louis-Ferdinand Céline:

"Since we are nothing but packages of tepid, half-rotted viscera, we shall always have trouble with sentiment.”

W H Auden:

"But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."

When Indian People would like a word with their Members of Parliament...

Indian lawmakers keep talking about people... how they are their sole representatives etc.

Well, Indian people decided to meet them in Delhi in August 2011.

Brilliant J B Handelsman, creator of UK Punch's 'Freaky Fables', about whom I have already written, in January 2010, here has captured that moment...Talk of prescience of cartooonists.

Focus your attention on the senator's face...is he scared?
