The beauty from Pakistan arrived. She intends to talk. This time talks are over CBMs. While India dub it as Confidence Building Measures, Pakistan think of Continental Ballistic Missile. Both the ways make no much difference. We can talk without any limits
There are different types of talks. Foreign secretary level talks, Talks at Ministry level, composite dialogues, talks to discuss about confidence building, one to one talks...the list is truly long.
The babus on both the sides select one of these modes of talks. The Sounth Indian English daily always covers all these events in the front page with great importance. It will be naive to believe that all the parties involved believe that some positive results would evolve from all these periodical exercises.
Once upon a time, the then Prime Minister of India went to Pakistan on a bus. It was an iternational event. I followed every moment of this 'historic' bus journey on the television. Warm handshakes, hugs, broad smiles and what not received our PM there? Media pundits and political analysers declared that a new dawn has just occured in the horizon. In fact what followed this bus journey is more remembered in history
Our foreign minister and the foreign secretary have no other significant work to do. So, engaging in different kinds of talks is the favourite time pass for them ever since the birth of Pakistan.
