Media should report Tharoor’s next adventure too!

The former Union Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor is apprehensive over the media coverage given to him and Sunanda Pushkar. Who is Sunanda Pushkar? The media reports in April second week this year exposed that Sunanda was Tharoor’s fiancé and she had 18 percent stake in the Rendezvous consortium, new sponsor for IPL from Kochi. Tharoor then said he had no relation with Pushkar, but media reports said otherwise. Sunanda would be his third wife after Thilothama and Christa, according to media. Now it has been convincingly proved that what media reported was correct. Tharoor and Sunanda are about to marry and roaming from temple to temple to run off from the curses of his former wives and children.

Despite the fact that it is Tharoor’s freedom to keep his personal secrets intact he has to remember that he is an MP and has to stick on his words. Why tell off media for doing their duty? While ordinary people lead a contented life with one wife and one family their leaders running woman after women is matter of nosiness for many and media has the obligation to give what people need. Tharoor could, of course, keep on his soul searching with Sunanda Pushkar but never ask media to do this and that. And the media should never shy away from reporting possible adventures of Tharoor after Sunanda.
