Amnesia is not dangerous.

Everyone who grew up watching cartoons will know that amnesia is easily cured by bashing the sufferer on the head with a frying pan. So we will not be worried about extreme amnesia suffered by eminent industrialist, Mr Anil Ambani and his wife Tina who were appearing before a CBI court in connection with the 2G telecom scam where licenses were allegedly granted out of turn for vast bribes. We must remember that News International chief, Mr Rupert Murdoch suffered a similar bout of absolute amnesia in July 2011 when appearing in front of a British Parliamentary committee in connection with the phone hacking scandal at News of The World which he owned at the time. However, Mr Murdoch has made a miraculous recovery and is now divorcing his wife Wendy Deng who is famous for landing a sweet right hook on a protester who smeared Mr Murdoch with a custard pie during the hearings. Custard pie on the face in cartoons are always great fun. When asked Mr Ambani said," I am not aware of any company called Swan Telecom." Livemint, 23 August. He also denied any knowledge of about half a dozen companies even when he was shown his signatures authorising transfer of Rs 1.23 billion in between these companies. " It is wrong to suggest that I have knowledge about AAA Consultancy Services (P) Ltd, ADAE Ventures (P) Ltd, Parrot Consultants (P) Ltd, Tiger Traders (P) Ltd, Zebra Consultants (P) Ltd, Swan Telecom (P) Ltd and Swan Consultants (P) Ltd, based on documents shown to me today in the court. It is wrong to suggest that all decisions regarding these companies, as shown to me in court today, were in my knowledge," he said. Fascinating. The ultra rich truly live on a different planet altogether. While we remember with pain every time we have to buy onions at Rs 80 a kg Mr Ambani cannot remember signing away more than a billion rupees. " It is wrong to suggest that I am not disclosing the true facts to this court in order to save the accused from legal punishment," he insisted. Perish the thought, but it will be very useful to the accused none the less. Next day his wife, Tina was similarly afflicted by amnesia. When shown her signatures on various documents she said that if all this was minuted " I must have so acted." Conjugal amnesia. How romantic!
