Shashi Tharoor and the Holy cows !!!














Shashi Tharoor said a sorry and got out of the cattle class controversy… Now he has himself became one holy cow, now that he REALLY “understands the sentiments of people”, and will become what his party wanted him to be… a politician …

It is not a fall for Mr Shashi Tharoor for whom the current job (the union minister of state for External affairs) isn’t any greater than the ones he has handled in the past… The holy cows that he serve is a group of self obsessed self important politico’s who survive on symbolisms and token gestures..

What, otherwise will explain economy class and train travel for Madam Sonia, her son HRH the crown prince of India and their pen pullers and palanquin bearers given the fact that when they travel their many SUV’s have to be taken, seats in and around the VIP’s will have to fly empty, they fly only with kith and kin, chamchas and cooks in attendance.. How much money is saved?

What otherwise will explain the tokenism in this much touted economy class travel as if it is as pathetic as the general class in the ordinary trains where most of Indians stacked like cattle travel without complaints and ado.. ?

What otherwise will explain the large palaces on which out MP’s ,Ministers and the ex MP’s and ministers live in Lutyens Delhi, spending money on fanfare and their pageantry .. P Lakshmi, a minister in this cabinet wants new toilets in every corner it seems, Prince Jyothiradiya Scindia wants Italian marbles everywhere in his palace ( His reverence to Italy has no bounds really!) and Mani shankar Iyer, the EX MP and EX Minister is simply refusing to quit his bungalow…. People have dumped him in the elections and yet…why the hell should we the tax payer pay for his luxury living..?

What otherwise will explain the shamelessness with which each minister spends on 16 personal staff and other paraphernalia and no holy cows daring to venture to cut the flab, even marginally?

What otherwise will explain the sycophancy with which the palace cleaners like Jayanthi Natarajan and door mats like Ashok Gehlot jumped into the fray with jealousy and contempt (on the rise of the man whom they can but envy only) , asking for his removal and resignation..? How many politicians will dare to go around the town and tear his own posters saying "its a beuatiful town, I dont want politics to disfigure it" ?

Is it not clear why this is happening? Will our politicians ever learn to take concrete steps to improve the cattle class ( yes majority of Indians live a life worse than cattles and that is true.. )than mere sloganeering and absurd enactments of tokenism?

Holy cows!!!

The father , the son and the holy spirit ...

The father who is the home minister of this state (called as God’s own country) his sons who are there in every news (most of them, bad and ugly news like land grabbing, mafia, money making, threatening, etc etc) and now the spirit of this man, named Paul George Muthoot, scion of the rich Muthoot family who was killed in the middle of the night by some un identified people…

It has all the ingredients of soap fiction… a handsome business man who is bachelor even at 32, traveling with some goons and infamous goondas in their car and his driver following in his, stories of a lady and a cash bag (which later went missing), the murder and the gang or goons (known as quotation team here in this beautiful state of Kerala,where gang of goons are available freely to engage, who can be hired if you want to terrorize, kidnap, attack, black mail, de captivate or even kill any one of your choice, if you know the sons of the right persons…) who were going to kill some one else, stopping on the road and killing Paul George on some trivia, the Home ministers son’s and their friends being dragged on to this case, the media probe, investigation, sting operation et al, the flip flops of the police, the IG going to the press with the now infamous S shape knife, which he said was used for the killing , even before the post mortem was done ( How Miraculous isn’t it? ) the drama’s, the culprits hired and paraded whose mother says the whole story is a hoax and the S shape knife was planted, the doctor who wrote the post mortem is said to have re written it and the depth of the injury has become smaller than in the original… (ahem ahem) …..

Paul is lucky -at least after his death his actual injury got fabricated to a smaller one and hence less pain…the arrest dramas, stinking tales of police and their bosses acting in connivance with the goons (customer relation ship at its best) …. The courts slamming the IG, the police and the bosses, their private and business interests that rule the state and its state of affairs and stopping short of asking for a CBI probe…..the police investigating allegations against its own deeds like “planting of evidence” ……how interesting …!

It is all amusing for sure, but more amusing is the silence from the dead man’s family… for all the investigation drama and ruckus, for all the mud slinging and riot from an equally corrupt opposition, the Muthoot’s have maintained a strange silence…

The actual culprits will never be found out for sure and all the media attention will die down…

The tale of the unholy nexus between the goons, politicians, police and the business men will go on while in the case the suspense is now taking an S shape…


NB:- I pray and hope that in this banana republic, I will not be given quotation for writing this... Amen !
