>Sometimes a headline can really attract readers. Here is a headline that appeared on The Times Online that really caught my attention:

Some people lose faith – but only bureaucrats can lose an Indian temple.

Here is the story:

The custodians of India’s archaeological treasures are to hire 10,000 attendants to patrol historical sites after an audit found that 34 monuments, including a cave temple, had “disappeared”.

A complex of ancient cave temples in the northern town of Basohli, which had yielded artefacts dating back as far as the 10th century, has also been lost.

How can anyone lose a temple?

The moral of the story:

All bureaucrats are alike, it matters not where they live.
