India and Pakistan have been in a dialogue till now. Representatives of the two longtime adversaries, agreed to a timetable for a series of high-level meetings over the next several months. Expert opinions differ. Some are wary because of the history of animosity. Other experts, however, say that this time around might be different. The U.S. ambassador to India, told a Council on Foreign Relations meeting that he saw excellent chances for success in these talks.
The first such meeting was held in New Delhi last month.This reporter was privy to all meetings.
Foreign Secretary India: What should we have for our lunch discussion today?
Foreign Secretary Pakistan: Tangdi Kabab, Dal Makhani and Tandoori Roti?
Foreign Secretary India: Absolutely not. Lets have Masala Dosa instead.
Foreign Secretary Pakistan (aghast): Masala Dosa ??? UGH *hmph*
The first round of talks failed and the meeting was adjourned to the next month at Islamabad.
Indian Foreign Secretary: What is the menu for our dinner discussions?
Foreign Secretary Pakistan: Mutton Biryani, Lachedaar Paraatha and Sherbet
Indian Foreign Secretary: What??? No Curd Rice ?
Foreign Secretary Pakistan: er...what's Curd Rice?
Foreign Secretary India: How inconsiderate !!!*hmph*
The failure of the second round of talks was greeted with dismay by the international community .The resultant International pressure has led to the convening of a Ministerial level meeting in Simla.
Indian Minister: Welcome brother. We have arranged an excellent Mujra by Miss Masala after our Dinner talks.
Pakistani Minister( sulking): I want Aishwarya Rai to do the mujra.
Indian Minister: Well...our budget would not permit that.
Pakistani Minister: Then I am not talking to you. *hmph*
It was clear after the Ministerial level talks that there were irrevocable differences between the two countries and it has been decided that both Foreign Ministers would meet in Rawalpindi next.
Pakistani Minister: Salaam Alekum, we are honored by your presence here. What would you like to drink?
Indian Minister: Bhaang!!
Pakistani Minister: I am afraid we do not have Bhaang. I have Blue Label Whiskey specially ordered for you.
Indian Minister: You dont' have Bhaang?? Then I am not talking to you. *hmph*
According to inside sources, the high level discussions collapsed after India insisted that Pakistan stop supporting terrorists in Kashmir, and Pakistan insisted that India include final-status discussions on Kashmir as part of any future talks.

hehehee!!!
Lemme walk away with the kudos for the first comment here... :p
@Alit: Thanks for the first comment :)
OK. Now the real comment on the post...
You were spot on the reasons why these talks fail though they are not alone.
Some other reasons... (all reliably learnt -;))
* Brazil losing world cup final to France
* Amoeba's inability stick to a singe shape
* David Beckham naming his second son as Romeo
and once over a disgreement on exact failure reason itself. :p
As always.. humourous like silverine
u couldn't have been there, in that case, i want the source!!! :))
was this one of those hidden cameras thing?? well, finally we have the solution to indo-pak problems anyway, get two vegetarian foreign ministers, preferably teetotallers too (i volunteer from the indian side. :D)...
he he he so this is why India terms their demands are unrealistic and the talks always ends in a 'stalemate'
Hilarious!!!
if i can get the mysore masala dosa I don't mind being part of the negotiation team..which ever isde offers the dosa, i join..
I will side with the Pakis on this...all my fav food is with them!
Bhaang in place of Blue Label, who made this man a minister...he should be fired....
from what I hear the talks never failed, but the two adversaries just announced failures so that they could keep getting together for a round of drinks and some mujra...you see ministers and foreign secretaries are very lonely people.
very silverine like - funny
Enjoyed this post, you really have a way with words.
haha
u r absolutely right. They will talk all the irrelevent things at these talks and get no solutions
Thank god they are just fighting for what food to have. Think what will happen if they start fighting where the next meeting will take place.
PFM: I haven't seen Taj Mahal yet. Let's meet at Agra/Delhi next time.
IFM: But I haven't seen Ajanta yet. It's better. Let's meet at Mumbai.
PFM: Grrrr...
@Alexis: I think I should and put an end to this impasse :)
@Alit: Thanks for that very learned and well researched info :p
@Arjun: My sources are confidential. But if Pak has a veg minister then you will lead our delegation! Guaranteed :))
@Divyaa: "Stalemate" indeed by the look of the menu :))
@immigrantincanada: You are such a patriotic Indian LOL
@Rockus: Yet another patriotic Indian :))
@Goan Pav: You got the gist of the post, Kudos!! When Mushraff was in India, all we heard was the Menu.
@Thanu and Starry nights; Thank you :)
@Ajay: And when the govt is paying the tab for the jamboree why not make the party indefinite??? :))
@Fleiger: LOL Good one
@Aashik: Er...mallu ministers??? Then we may have potential International scandals and worsening of relations LOL
lol..now i wonder what happened to "karimeen" diplomacy when the indo-chinese talks happened in kumarakom backwaters in kerala. chi lee chung and co went back quietly.
Absolute gold from Silverine? :)
Great post, once again. :D
Audio-Video Transcript of emergency bilateral intelligence meet held on April 20, 2006. 01:00 Hours,
RAW safehouse, Guttahalli, Bangalore:
"How dare she haj the temerity misconstrukt our Shpartan Chai-Biskoot meets! Preposteruss! She ij an ajent provocateur! Thij person reprejjenj a Klear and prejent daynger to both our countriej sekurity, I say. She MUST be likkwidated!", thundered Brigadier Ali Bakr Butt of the Pakistani Army, in his flawless Sandhurst-Lahori mongrel accent.
Col Anand, Code Name-Bvonji of the RAW, calmly wipes Brig. Butt's spittle off his face, cleans his glasses witha deep sigh and replies in his native accent, "Entharappi Choodavunnathu... is umar mein itna gussa ottum nallathalla. Sit down boss! Thalle, kalippu situation! Jamedar Jiby, ingerkku oru thanutha bvonji ozhichu kodade... no sugar."
The Colonel addresses Brig. Butt politley but firmly, "Vokay, this pennumpillai is a major yaeni agreed... But Butt Mian, the praablem is, WE want to kaachify her ourselves! Bahumanya Mantriji himself signed the order yesterday.... Ouvvar besht shooters are deciding whom to send at this veree momment. Look...." he points to the backyard where black denim clad commandos were intently engaged in Musical Chairs.
"OYE, BLAADEE KUFR.... YOU SHALLN'T! Laang time shince I shot something that doejn't walk on four legs, old fruit. I came all the way from my vacation in Heera Mandi for thij honour! Do not try stop me.", says the Brig with a demonic grin, his nostrils flaring, knuckles white...
"Vo pinne, you tholikkum!", snarls the Colonel, slowly reaching for his ancestral vadivaal kept inside his shirt, hooked handle suspended from the back of his collar Trivandrum ishtyle.
The Brig swearing in his native tounge now-"Chakk De Phatte! Teri Tho... "(Sounds of gunfire, screams and swooshes. Heavy Static.Transmission ends.)
Another core issue of India-Pakistan tensions begins...
@Anand: I just lost my job for laughing hysterically in the office.

@Fleiger: Of course, Karnatka's Chow Chow Baath and don't forget Chettinaad Diplomacy as well :))
@HnL: Thanks for all that info. This holiday is to just lie back and relax, no hectic sight seeing etc. :) p.s. Ooty and Kodai are my fav destinations and I go to Ooty every year. Move out of the towns and it is just plain greenery.
@immigrant in canada: What I meant was your dis-loyalty ..i.e. giving up your country for a Dosai.Like Rockus who is willing to go to the Pak camp for Tandi Kabab :))
@1.618: So many people offering their services now. I guess an India Pak talk is an endless party lol
He He .. Nice Post. How about some Rava Baath and Kanda Poha for the next round :)
Good to know that my fellow couuntry men are happily making fun of such discussions because we guard the border in seachin and many such places. We hope these discussion reach a result which will end Indo-pak tension.
-regards
Catain Sukumar Menon
There has been criticism of the government for not anticipating Kargil. For the future use of diplomats here are three warning signs of possible invasion:
1) Many men in uniform with guns mass along the border of a country.
2) The leader of that country has a mustache.
3) The man with the mustache makes speeches about how the neighboring state really belonged to his country.
Good work silverine.
This was great humor indeed for us at the institute. Bowled over m'am.
Lt. Akshay
