Dharma

One day, worried she asked him to come to Parliament House, looked him straight..
"Everybody says you are taking over"
Shaken but moving forward, putting his long parsi nose close to hers
"what do you think?"
"You can't."
Eyebrows raised
"Do you think I am so incompetent?"
"I didn't mean that Sam. You wouldn't,"
Sliding back into his chair
"You are right I wouldn't. You mind your own business and I'll mind mine. You kiss your own sweetheart and I'll kiss mine. I don't interfere politically as long as nobody interferes with me in the army"

(Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India and Sam Manekshaw, Field Marshal of India )
