    It's always wiser to pause, think and speak, than to speak, pause and think.

    ABV’s company didn’t do good to you Dada. You got this “pause” bug.

    Yes, it was reported. And never denied by MoD.

    Not an accusation. There was media coverage of Rajiv Gandhi's 'Blue Lagoon' holiday. INS Virat was indeed used, as were naval helicopters. India Today carried a lavishly illustrated story.

    I am sure would be able to tell a lot more. What I do remember is HY Sharada Prasad, then media advisor to Rajiv Gandhi, calling up CR Irani and 'expressing the hope' (Irani's words) that 'your irascible Assistant Editor (me) will not be writing about this'.

    If Rahul Gandhi claimed to have "dismantled" Modi's image, the Prime Minister is on a relentless campaign of 'dismantling' the image of Rajiv Gandhi. From calling him 'bhrashtachar no.1", now the accusation of using INS Virat as a 'family taxi' during his vacation.
