Sipping coffee with bete noire

It was interesting to see three young politicians, all of different hues, come together at a Restaurant in Mumbai and discuss the state's agenda for a popular TV programme. Two of these young leaders belonged to parties that have rarely been seen sharing a platform in the past. Traditional bete noire and with political agendas having nothing in common - it marks a turning of a new leaf in Indian political landscape. 
Bete noire is our expression of the week - it means something or someone who is avoided or even detested, disliked or dreaded. The expression has origins in French as an expression for insufferable person.
