World's loneliest place
 
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Varun Gandhi (pictured) said each time he went to the library in Parliament, the librarian hugged him in glee. The reason? He wouldn't have seen another parliamentarian in days. "It is the loneliest place on earth as members seldom visit it," he said while speaking at the Indian School of Business policy conclave, Road to 2019, in Hyderabad. He added while the country was brimming with young people, the average age of parliamentarians was increasing. So was the average salary of MPs, which had been increasing every term since 1952.
