How easy to become a World Hero!

To become a world hero is no too hard of-late. One could become a Guinness book record holder by eating a hundred ‘dosa’ in one second or making a single cake in X’mas by wasting eatables worth Rs Three lakh. A similar attempt was made by Muntadar al-Zaidi in Iraq to become an overnight hero. He has more takers in Kerala too as the ruling party is anti-US and anti-Bush. His condescending act of hurling shoe on US President George W Bush has been hailed by many as there are presently more takers for atrocious acts. I firmly believe that a good journalist could not commit such a terrible act. He was present there to report what was happening there. Journalists are news reporters and not news creators. Muntadar al-Zaidi has proved insolence to his profession.

If any head of any nation appreciates shoe attack on Bush, no doubt it would become a matter of mortification for him too.
