In the defence ministry, the appellation for Defence Minister AK Antony has changed. It used to be Saint Antony. But ever since he fainted while accepting the salute at a passing-out parade of cadets, he is known as Faint Antony.
Those who follow the ministry on a regular basis also report that lately the minister has been taking some decisions vital to India’s defence: When offered a choice between tea and coffee, he has been plumping for coffee.
