             "There was a lively debate in Parliament yesterday
              about "Arranged Marriages vs Love marriages" and
              the members ended up agreeing that there was
              a Western Conspiracy to debstailze the nation by
              making sure that Indians never ever agreed on this
              topic. Ms. Deepika Chikalia during the course of the
              argument demanded  a separate nation for those who
              "indulge" in Arranged marriages. On the other hand
              Mr. Vasanth Sathe demanded a common [Love] Marriage
              Code quoting extensively from his own book - "Arranged 
              Marriages -  What your Grandma  never told you" "

 debacle:   the mother of all disasters

              "The new education scheme for the "Politicians in power"
               was a  debacle. All the Cabinet Ministers got an
               E grade in Ethics 101. VPsingh complained that the
               upper classes were screwing the country with tough
               courses like "Morals 102", "Caste System 103", "Devi
               Lal 104" etc."

 redebutable: the never-say-die spirit

            "The redebutable Gotcha Gangster is back having endured
             those long Indian "train" journeys to get even with his

             Kaalimuthu for his duels with his rivals" 
                                          

                                          -------- $#@%^^???  y'all

               "number" = a number greater than 100

               Incidentally, Kaali has had duels with his friends too
               but we are not indebted to him for that. A subtle 
               difference to be noted.
                          

 debuty:    a side-kick who is venemous like the King Cobra.

                job"

 Debson's choice: when you have three choices, but no matter the choice
                  U make, you will be presumed to have made "the one
                  choice" that is convenient to beat U with.

                  "The Indian men on SCI had a Debson's choice before 
                   them:

                      They could be a 98%-SCUM or a 99% MCP or a
                      100%-religious IDIOT.
                   
                   As was expected, they prefered the 98%-SCUM label to
                   the slightly more offensive other-two. Poor Souls!
                   We've more in store for 'em "

  Caught between Deb and the deep blue sea: 1)the alternatives are equally
                                             bad if not equally worse.
                                            2) escape from one and run in
                                              a direction only to hit the
                                              sea. [Bay of Bengal]

              The Calcuttans, after  more than a decade of Communist
              misrule, were now caught between Deb and the deep blue sea.
