    I appreciate his smile, but what is the need to expose him as if he is a criminal. Make him pay the duty or confiscate the consignment and impose penalty. Mangaluru is becoming famous for Saffron issue, any way!

    Excellent comments Amar. Is there a notice board or rules displayed in airports saying what not to carry. Air India should indicate these rules in their website. What is a big deal in safforn....this gives color and now in India there is all over saffron. This guy is adding more saffron.

    Not sure why most of the commentators are not happy looking of others smile. Keep smiling guys it will increase the beauty of your face dont be jealous of others smile.

    I agree with Amar.. There is no ban on Saffron nor its a dangerous or hazardous. Only thing is thus guy bought in Bulk. So let him pay custom duties and all applicable taxes and clear his stuff.

    Bringing Saffron does not make him Criminal

    Is it compulsory to pose photograph with serious face??? what is wrong with the smile.
