He is Minister of State for External Affairs but the only place where he 'brainstorms' is Twitter and there too its mostly about the various incidents where he was misinterpreted or misquoted or even both. The amount he has been misinterpreted makes one stagger in disbelief but then the fact that he is actually holding that post does not really help matters much in the first place.
The Honorable Minister, it seems, believes that India and its citizens will follow his verdict even when it overturns sixty years worth of Foreign Policy maybe because he has an easy smile and apparently is pleasant on the eyes...sometimes it seems to me that Mr. Tharoor is a classic case of good looking models who open their mouth just too much to take even if as just a joke. Why? Because Shashi Tharoor seems to take everything as a joke which one must tell him that the majority does not really get but then they are the 'cattle class', right Mr. Tharoor?
The PMO is said to be deeply 'unhappy' about Tharoor's newest case of verbal diarrhea and is considering matters...but that does not really leave you with a bright picture of the future because for some absurd reason Tharoor is too much of a dear to the high bosses and why not?! Hes handsome, brilliant in English, a Stephanian and he was in the UN! The perfect bio data!!!! So one should not hope much because it may be disappointing but as many say without hope the world wouldn't run...and if not of a bright future, we can at least hope of some more misinterpretations to make us all agitated with the sodden state of affairs once more....
Though i think that shashi tharoor opens his mouth way too much and gets into trouble and that ultimately led to his being given the boot i think that congress has made him a scapegoat. Just because he is a close friend with Sunanda Pushkar does not necessarily mean that he will make her his proxy. its very demeaning to say that. Good write up!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that he lied about his phone calls to Modi got him in trouble. He should have been honest. And his earlier acts added to it - the demeaning of his own govt's foreign policy, making idiotic comments about India-Pak relations and then blaming it on lack of grammer education of prob etc etc...
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks a lot for the comment! :)
May be thats true. But all in all it was disappointing to see Tharoor go out in the fashion that he did.
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe but I wont lie, it was a lot of fun to see the same media who loved him ignore him completely after he was booted out...
ReplyDeleteSee the thing with the media is that they only want to gain trp ratings. So once the issue has been sorted out they just dump the issue all together and then move on to other news which will help them gain more trps. Thats become the nature of the media. Thats why i plan to do journalism and try and change these things.
