Unlike many Indian journalists of my generation, I have never interviewed Pervez Musharraf — the man is an interview junkie — or met him at an informal meeting on a one-on-one level. My two strongest memories of him, therefore, will pale in comparison to the full-screen, technicolor recollections of my colleagues.
When it comes to the Gujarat election, nothing is as simple as it seems. Take the BJP, for instance. It is a party in disarray, confounded by the virtual withdrawal of AB Vajpayee from public life, demolished in Uttar Pradesh, at war with itself and desperately in search of a coherent ideology. You would expect that because Gujarat offers the BJP its single best hope of a morale-boosting victory, the party would do everything possible to win the election.
