I was more amused than enraged on reading that the Indian Tricolor was put upside down during the recent India-Pakistan meeting. I, for one, cannot believe that it was an oversight. Officials from Pakistan are not known to be above playing such monkey tricks. But I think Mr. Chidambaram did right by making sure that the mistake was promptly rectified and then continuing with the business as usual without making a big issue out of it.

Guess our neighbors would do well to take a page out of his book and concentrate on important things.
