LIKE in most politicians homes, it is L.K. Advanis wife, his "super home minister", who frees him from all domestic duties. But their daughter vouches that the little time Advani spends with them is time well-spent. "As a father," Pratibha says, "hes absolutely great. I look at him and say, Oh my god, how can a person be like this. I am an Internet freak, so every evening when he comes home, I have a joke ready for him, thats our way of chilling out. Sometimes he likes a joke so much, he makes me repeat it in front of others. I can say anything I want to him, dont hold anything back at all. He only looks strict, but he is not. He is there whenever I need him. He comes home for lunch, and we all watch TV together. The other day I had an eye problem and he came with me for my appointment, to the doctors amazement," she adds. "Once in a while he takes two-three days off and we all go off for a family holiday."
