This time around India and Pakistan have really agreed to resolve their long standing disputes and to get the stalled peace talks back on track.

Meeting for the second time in less than four months, both Indian and Pakistani foreign secretaries Nirupama Roy and Salman Bashir, after exchanging pleasantries, agreed that compared to their unpleasant, useless, ineffective and futile parleys of their past, this time around their parleys - because of the diplomatic tomfoolery indulged in by the respective External Affairs Ministers who were all hot-air-rhetoric and no substance - were really very cordial and actually very constructive. "Unlike our previous meetings, which were vitiated by our talking without understanding each other, this time around we really tried to understand each others' position and concerns." said both of them very cordially to the gaggle-press.
