This is a paid News.Beware!!!

We have recently seen a spurt in 'Paid News' where everything written is only in praise of someone or some incident.

This is a perfect example of that. Please read this keeping in mind that the writer had put in a pair of tinted glasses. Hence couldn't (or doesn't want to) see anything negative in Tharoor.

:-) rightly said

An Israeli soldier very casually described his inability to join a party as there was a planned "clean-up" arrest raid in the West Bank. Some facebook users brought the message to notice of military authorities
The soldier was
1) Sentenced to 10 days' imprisonment,
2) His combat certificate was revoked
3) He was relieved from his battalion and
4) Eventually releived from army duties altogether.

Unlike Israel, in India Lucky Tharror got away with the twitter episode simply to repeat it. What a gem of a guy he has made of himself after achieving so well in his academics. It's that superiority complex and high opinion of spoken English that causes him to open his mouth again and again and again .......

I wonder how Tharoor manages to get such chamchas to eulogize him.

The insinuation of course is that ''Hinglish' is responsible for Tharoor's plight. And not his own habit of putting his foot in his mouth.

The author picks up examples like the 'cattle class' and 'interlocutor' to portray Tharoor in favorable light. He however (very conveniently I may add) does not mention of the incident in which he made comments about Kasab not taking a visa etc, which resulted in him getting ticked off by his seniors in the cabinet.

Selective memory ??

by vijaya kumar on Mar 09, 2010 06:21 PM

In india there are many people who suffer daily and undergo lots of probs several ways.the main duty of a politician is to serve for the country and Nation.If Mr Tharoor was so ashamed to stay in kerala bhavan due to lack of gym and privacy ,why he came down to join politics in the name of serving kerala people ?

Sad to know that our great leaders not able to extract the meaning of "interlocutor"
Unnecessarily the media is misinterpreting his speech.
The world laughs at our crude politicians

Saudi Arabia as "Interlocutor" or "Interpretor" or something else. It will just mark a beginning and then there will be no end. Thats what the India should try to avoid and thats the reason why Media was after him. It was Tharoor who started playing with grammatical meaning of words in order to justify himself

Tharoor wanted to be PM of England. He polished his English to an extent that he was more British than Indian. But when they took his picture against a black background as they do in England, he failed and said he doesnt deserve.

With so much of hype behind him
he does not still gel with the indian mentality.
If he does not like one why the hell he is representing them.
Being a MP and in the ministry he has made a fool of himself

So if the so called intellectuals of foriegn world are useless why do we need them
Take the guy from infy how many comments and contraversies straight to point and to job because he indian intellectual because he believes in work and not lip service

He is used with the style of sitting with wine glasses and parties in the evening as part of the beauracratic culture,so he can never understand or able to know people better.Politics he can never handle bcoz of the way he was working in the past. Wrong decsion that he entered politics in the name of serving people.

Great Fact File. Most importantly he is forth right .Also he has the ability to think clearly . He does not appear to be believing in psychopahancy which is the hall mark of all conress fellows .Hopefully he need not have to be corrupt which we can not say to anyone else.

Some of the north media and politicians targeting Tharoor they are jealousy because he is getting too much attention. They don’t want to see him dominating in the Indian politics
