Don146;t cry for Paris

Dear Paris Hilton: Please accept my sympathies for having to go to jail on some trivial charges like driving with a suspended licence. I cannot understand how a celebrity with your kind of influence could not have fixed things to ensure that one doesn8217;t have to land up in jail.

I suggest that you come to India to learn how to enjoy your celebrity status and get the most out of your billions without ever having to worry about the law or the government. For instance, our celebrities and rich people get away with wrongdoings much bigger in India. An MP the equivalent to a US senator, who killed a person in a fit of road rage, is free as a bird. A central minister equivalent to the US cabinet secretary, who milked the government of millions is today part of the government! A film star, who has killed people while driving drunk, today roams free, goes abroad for shows and is far away from ever going to jail. One rich citizen, who killed seven people while driving drunk was sentenced to six months in jail. There is a film star who was caught with illegal weapons and his case has been going on for years and years.

Now, Paris, doesn8217;t India seem just the place for you? Oh, and I forgot to tell you that in India one can win elections while sitting in jail. However, remember, our jails can be made appealing enough for those who matter, with al l the facilities a home can offer. You can even have home cooked food supplied to you.

Of course, first of all, you try not to go to jail. Even if you do, it is only for a short time while lawyers find the right person/persons to influence.

So Paris, don8217;t tarry any longer. Just hop on to your plane, come down to India, and learn these masterful ways to avoid facing the consequences of one8217;s misdemeanours. As for the jails here, they are really only for those who have no power, no money, and no influence.
