Seems like I am travelling alone tonight via @TurkishAirlines. My wife has her passport misplaced. Fingers crossed that we find it soon.

distressed Haryana couple

NEW DELHI: Who said you can't be a tough-talking external affairs minister and a romantic at the same time? Sushma Swaraj has proven she's both.Swaraj slammed Pakistan right and proper on July 24 when she said : The whole of India would like to tell Pakistani PM that the dream ofwill not be realized even at the end of eternity.”And last night, for the second time in 10-odd days, she also came to the aid of lovers facing, or going through, a forced separation.Faizan Patel, a Mangalore-based photographer, tweeted on August 4, days before he and his wife were to go to Italy on their honeymoon, that his wife Sana Fatima Khan lost her passport.Two days later, Sana still had not found her passport.Patel had the tickets, so he decided to go to Italy anyway, "without his honey" as he put it, hoping his wife would soon find her passport.Yesterday, he tweeted from the plane, with a picture of his wife on the seat next to him. What was key here was that he tagged Minister Swaraj in this tweet.And believe it or not, Swaraj replied.The external affairs minister told Sana and Faizan that help is on the way.Sana's reaction was apt. She said she was speechless.Just 10-odd days ago, Swaraj came to the aid of another. The husband, Tinu, is Indian, the wife, Jahna, is Kazakh. They met on Facebook and married soon after. But Jahna's tourist visa was expiring and the couple was dreading their separation. A newspaper wrote about it and it caught Swaraj's attention.Swaraj tweeted - in chaste Haryanvi, no less - saying "If you've filed a request to extend 'bahu's' visa, send me a copy of the request." Swaraj called Jahna 'bahu'. That means daughter-in-law.Now, after helping Faizan and Sana, she has added even more fans to her already large fan base.
