Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman had an unpleasant experience at a lunch hosted by finance minister Arun Jaitley recently. Jaitley hosted the lunch in his chambers -- a small cramped space -- inside Parliament where he invited six ministers.

The hungry mantris were jostling to get to the buffet each other to fill their plates when a woman minister while picking up her vegetables -- rather oily at that -- dropped her plate which was both hot and weighty.

And so, most of the vegetables spattered on to Sitharaman's cotton sari, who was ahead of her in the queue.

Visibly annoyed, the minister removed whatever she could the mess on her sari and quickly left parliament house from a rear gate where has no TV channel posted there.

Poor Ms Sitharaman -- remember the time she lost her luggage at London airport?  Air India lost her suitcase as she landed in Sydney, Australia, en route to Cairns for the G-20 summit in 2014, but luckily found her luggage later.
