Scavenging Towards Nirvana
The WTF quote of the day comes from Narendra Modi:
Scavenging must have been a spiritual experience for the Valmiki caste. [...]
At some point in time somebody must have got enlightenment in scavenging. They must have thought that it is their duty to work for the happiness of the entire society and the Gods.
Really, I don’t even know what to say about this man anymore. This is surreal. If Modi ever finds himself in a lunatic asylum, he’ll drive all his fellow inmates sane.
What’s that you said about parliament?
