Bravo Tharoor! I have always maintained that the young and dynamic Shashi Tharoor should have been India's foreign minister - but the unimaginative Congress regime thought it fit to first appoint the supremely boring imbecile Natwar Singh, then the staid Pranab Mukherjee, followed by the utterly uncharismatic old man S.M Krishna to the portfolio and now the robustly anti-national Salman Khurshid.
Karan Singh would have made a great foreign minister - he certainly had the scholarly credentials, but was probably considered too Hindu and too nationalistic for the UPA's liking.
As foreign minister, Shashi Tharoor would have promoted a dynamic image of the country.
I'm all for "people to people contact" of this kind. It will bring about lasting peace on the Indian sub continent.
I think Mr. Tharoor would be well advised to quit the sinking ship of the Congress and join a BJP under the leadership of Narendra bhai Modi and help them open their account in Parliament from Kerala. Personally, I would welcome Mr. Tharoor if he were to evince an interest in the BJP. Frankly, the Yashwants and the Jaswants are past their prime and were quite unimpressive when they had their turn.

Did you read the news of Sunanda Pushkar being dead now? I don;t understand you guys having a soft corner for this suave crook! Sunsnda knew too much about the IPL scandal. Did you not read her words "that she took it upon herself the IPL crap for this guy" line in the media? He is also hobnobbing with an ISI Paki agent. As a foreign minister, he will only compromise the alerady compromised Indian intelligence further! This crook should be behind bars!
Agree with Rajeev's tweet. Sunanda Pushkar gave a telephonic interview on TV on Thursday and seemed quite composed. She had been making strong comments against ISI and Kashmiri separatists in recently.
The whole affair is very suspicious. Sunanda Pushkar's untimely demise is very tragic. She seemed to be a strong willed lady - very improbable that she would take her own life. Shashi Tharoor also appears to be a gentleman, not a criminal. The point of my post though was to highlight the potential for peace through romance with Paki women - whom I'm partial to,
whether it's Hina Rabbani Khar, Kashmala Tariq or the latest Meher Tarar. After all, Paki women must be the most oppressed human beings on the planet.
For some reason, Sunanda Pushkar's death in a hotel reminds me of Bob Woolmer's death in a hotel in the Caribbean during the cricket World Cup. The South African coach of the Pakistani team knew too much. His death is as yet an unsolved mystery.
Sunanda Pushkar's sad end also reminds me of Rahul Mahajan's near death experience by "drugs", right after his father - Pramod Mahajan's mysterious murder - in 2004, right after the BJP lost power. Then too, there was a Kashmiri angle.
