Nuclear Saga - Satire on Indo-US nuclear deal.

Sighting the current uproar over 'may possible' action of Indian Government to appease foreign suppliers on nuclear issue,couldn't bound myself typing this fantastic satirical saga.If someone want to understand why India is now tactically bound to do so,try to feel the taste of the below 'food' provided to you -- 

"India has boarded a plane named 'Nonproliferation Regime' that is carrying nuclear weapons.The plane is flying around the world trying to pick up additional passengers.The plane has got an American captain,a Russian co-pilot and a three-member crew from China,France and United Kingdom.Entry into the cockpit is firmly barred to everyone else under all circumstances.All other NPT signatories are locked into their cramped and uncomfortable seats in economy class and keys have been thrown away.The captain suspects that one of the strapped passengers,Iran,is struggling to get loose and has issued a stern warning.One passenger,North Korea,who had broken loose now has a fractured arm and emaciated look and is being coaxed back to his seat.For a long time,only three passengers-Israel,Pakistan and India - stubbornly refused to board the plane.Israel,in cahoots with the captain,cleverly manages to avoid drawing attention by pretending it does not have nuclear weapons.No one dares to touch Pakistan,a suspected suicide bomber.India has been enticed on board with the offer of First Class travel.The entire First Class cabin is reserved for Indians.Apart from a free ego massage available on demand,also on offer are complimentary gifts of the latest hi-tech toys and gadgets , and mind-boggling frequent flyer miles that can be used for unlimited travel by all family members and relatives(the definition has been left to India) to the US with a guarantee of a 'green card' to anyone looking for one.The food is a combination of the best available in the finest restaurants of New York,London,Paris,Moscow and Beijing.After a hearty traditional English breakfast,one can move on to exotic Chinese food-however,only sweet and sour items are the menu!-for lunch and the smoothest Russian vodkas for cocktails.Dinner brings to the table mouthwatering American steaks,washed down by vintage French wines.Just in case the First Class passengers are still not sufficiently intoxicated by now,rare single malt Scotch whiskies and the choicest French cognacs are available as after-dinner drinks.The entertainment on board is so engrossing that there is no time to think.Looking out of the window,one can see majestic castles in the air.Finally,there is a lullaby to lull the First Class passenger into deep slumber,just in case the intoxicating drinks have not had their effect. Manmohan Singh's India is mesmerized by the tantalizing temptations.The trouble is that on the board,it will not be able to get off the plane."
