- It made me think abt the situation of our democracy. Where have we reached in our quest for "people's govt."? Today to make ourselves heard we have to throw a shoe at the "Home Minister" of India, otherwise the voice of a common man keeps fallinf on deaf ears of CBI, who even after being given the proof of something chooses to ignore it. What else do they want??? A VIDEOTAPE?? But naah it may be doctored as well. (As claimed by many of the young guns ! ! !)
- Before I go ahead, I must acknowledge the thought of my dear friend, Yuvraj Singh(my roommate during my MBA) . Yes UV, you were right abt Narendra Modi.Today when i think abt Tytler or Sajjan Kumar, I can feel your anger.
- Next is it right for a person to show his emotions even if they go against wht he is supposed to do? I think, in some conditions YES. There are times when you have to do something extraordinary for what you are passionate abt. I pity those who criticised Jarnail Singh for he did, 'cause they are unable to understand the emotions & passions of a person.
- Praises were showered on Chidambram on his restrain and composure after the event. Wht other options he had? Considering the fact that there is an election around the corner what else would a politician do? Press charges against the member of a minority which could decide elctions in atleast two states, Punjab and Delhi? (I'm sorry to use the word minority)
- After the show was over, BJP demanded that Congress shud withdraw candidature of Tytler and Sajjan Singh. Then shouldn't Narendra Modi, LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and others be measured on the same yardstick? or how are they different?
Will love to hear the comments of my follow Indians on my incoherent babbling of this empty mind(Empty, since i joined my MBA
Au Revoir...

apparently .. more than the sword, the shoe is proving to be the mightiest of 'em all ..
3rd time in the past 1 year we've seen a shoe being hurled at a famous (or infamous) politician as a show of protest ... Bush, Jiabao, Chidambaram .. wonder who's next :P
an eyeball grabbing incident for sure but how much of an impact it'll have is yet to be seen ... public memory is short ... just like people have forgotten Tytler's role & the riots, so will this "sho(e)w of democracy" be forgotten ... sad but true ... sigh !!
