Tharoor in soup

I believe the Kashmiri beautician, no the beauty herself, turned him down. Tharoor is nobody now. With disaster and disgrace, the minister of state for external affairs lost his affair. Tell me my friend how many nights you have to weep. The minister who was a king from the south lost his crown and all that for woman, a widow. Stories of parallel errors are elsewhere in the history of the world.
Malayalam poet Kunchan Nambiar said once: ‘Wars are plenty in this world because of money and woman’.
I wonder why no Congress leaders from Kerala come out in support of Tharoor. In fact, the entire Kerala unit of the Congress, which congratulated Tharoor for bringing an Indian Premier League team to Kochi, has not come out openly to defend the struggling minister. This is mainly of two reasons. First is: Tharoor’s fiancé with a beautiful widow after deserting his present wife and the cash behind sweat equity. Secondly, Kochi IPL is a trade name in which Kerala has no actual involvement. The promoters and the base station of Kochi IPL are from outside Kerala. The Congress men in Kerala understood these undercurrents only after the foul play of IPL commissar Lalit Modi.

Tharoor’s clarification that he had not misused his official position has little takers. His performance in the Parliament defending himself was gorgeous except his ‘carefully careless hair’ hanging over the right eye. The Kashmiri beauty might have forgotten to fasten his hair with a ‘slide pin’ before sending him to the Parliament.

However, I could not endorse Kerala State Finance Minister Thomas Isaac’s slamming of Tharoor, saying it would have been better if Tharoor had taken interest in getting allotment of more rice for the state than bringing an IPL team for Kerala. When Isaac has already taken ample steps with his budget to give rice at Rs 3 per kg to all BPL people in Kerala why should Tharoor take interest in lulling the fame of Isaac?
