Miliband-ying those Words Around

It's the script of some terribly slapstick British sit-com on India- with vignettes on cows, rural "squirmy" medicine, traditional India-Pakistani rivalry, and, of course cricket. What makes it slightly less than funny- is this is Britain's own Foreign Secretary David Miliband's account of his India tour. His blog on the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office's website is a must-read; containing topic heads like: "Empowerment" , "Micro-Blog" "Squirm (sic: ref to the witnessing of a cataract operation in Amethi)", Sunny Gavaskar or Kapil Dev? oh and yes "Anguish of Mumbai"..... Just in case you missed the main reason Miliband made the trek out to India, met with the Prime Minister and senior members of our cabinet, and was an honoured guest at events at the Taj and Oberoi in Mumbai. Of course, Miliband made it clear he wasn't here to sympathise with India's demand....
