The super righteous, picky-eating Kiran Bedi

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Everyday Life column on this page, we even sang hosannas to treadmill walking. A few rounds of Zumba or being cautious about what you're eating is not a bad thing.

But truth be told, there is something called joie de vivre. And it's not always healthy.

Unless, of course, you are a supercop with an iron will — and have a wee dab of self-righteous essence mixed in your daily glass of goat's milk. In other words, Kiran Bedi.

The former Puducherry L-G apparently has never — yes, never — eaten puri, kachori, pakode and samosa. She calls them faltu, and has never even craved for them.

And when she did crave for pani puri — that silly glorious deep-fried genius of a breaded sphere filled with heavenly potato, chilli, turmeric and Lethean Liquid X — Bedi would drink, er, kanji. While we admire Very Very Bedi for her commitment to all things healthy, we don't know what disturbs us more: that she is healthy because of being a super-nitpicky eater, or that she is proud of being healthy on account of being super-fussy.
