Prasad Bidappa Detained in Dubai For Carrying Grass

..And see what Mrs.Bidappa said:

Bidappa's wife Judith said the issue is not whether her husband smokes marijuana but the fact that he was found carrying it in a country that does not permit this.
"What is permissible in some cultures may be a crime in others, including public display of a section, dress code and consumption of alcohol," she said. [Link]

Since when did our 'culture' started 'permitting' grass? If he was indeed carrying it then he is guilty even under Indian law. Man! What do these people smoke? Oh well. You must be out of your mind to do something like that in—of all the places—Dubai. I hope Prasad makes it back to Bangalore.

See what Marc Robinson has to say

This is devastating news. I hear Prasad has only a bed, a toilet bowl and a table now, friends there have actually taken him sheets! I hope this ordeal will be over soon, for both Prasad and his family.

Very sad Marc, but you know there are millions out there who don't even have that table and that toilet bowl. Freak! I want to take an IQ test of all these fashion world personalities. Or are they perennially stoned?
