Expect DDM to start spinning already. This one aims at humanizing the butcher of kargil. DDM's mai-baap has obliged by sending his momma first.

NEW DELHI: The atmosphere in India is charged with a volatile mix of cricket and politics. On Wednesday, it was made official that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf would watch the Delhi ODI with the Prime Minister on April 17.
Musharraf has already begun his characteristic rumblings, but it is another guest from across the border that has given a new twist to the charged Indo-Pak atmosphere.
A month before her son's visit, Begum Zarin, Musharraf's mother has arrived in Delhi.
On Wednesday, the Begum along with Musharraf's son Bilal and Musharraf's elder brother, Javed, landed at the Indira Gandhi Airport. Javed is a retired civil servant and Bilal is an insurance analyst.
The new face in Indo-Pak ties has been a crucial factor in the General's life. But for Begum Zarin, Musharraf wouldn't have joined the army.
"Pervez Musharraf was committed more to sports and games than studies during his childhood. This was a matter of real concern. It was my idea that Pervez should join the army because of his fondness for sports and his physical appearance," she once told a Pakistani TV Channel.
She added, "I was really worried about his future. I never thought or dreamt that my son would become the country's President."
Pervez Musharraf never had an academic bent of mind. "Pervez Musharraf was naughty, didn't concentrate much on his schoolwork, but was an exceptional athlete," said her mother recounting her son's childhood days in Motherhood, a Pakistani magazine.
But the General had other fine abilities, one of which was decision making.
"Musharraf is a brave and bold person. He has an excellent ability of decision making. He thinks well before making a decision and always decides right. He always remains normal and calm. He always takes things in a positive perspective with a note of optimism," the Begum told the TV channel.
She also wished her son that he succeeds in negotiating a settlement of the long-standing Kashmir issue, "I wish the credit goes to him and I am quite optimistic."
She still has a tinge of regret over not having a daughter, but at the same time happy with all her three sons.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
