Amidst the crowd of irrelevelant personalities as politicians of the nation (minus countable exceptions), Mr Sasi Tharoor's entry in to the Indian Polity was generally perceived as a good thing to happen.

But......alas ! This gentlemen beating peoples expectations of doing something good for the national cause preferred to become a controversy himself (Ref to his twitting) !!!

Mr Tharoor, what point are you trying to prove ?

You are computer savvy ?!

You need to be much above a corporate or film personality who plays with the Blackberry & Blogs respectively !

A resposible minister / politician need not go to express his personal views through blogs & twitters. You form a part of the Govt. & therefore should honor the protocols. Your acquired knowledge from your international expousers & experience needs to be adopted & applied in the Indian context to serve the international interests of the nation.

The nation needs learned & knowledgeable peoples of your stature. But you must know your control knobs & serve the country as a true Indian in the capacity a minister rather than a NRI like attitude.

It is said that...

"Ek bar galati kare to..........ANJAN

Do bar kare to...................SAITAN

Bar bar kare to.................Pak..tan !!!

So Mr Tharoor; let's reiterate the fact that the nation will always be proud to have you as a part of any Govt. But rise above such irrelevant things & issues. Prove your WORTH & help the nation improve it's international image & contribute to the international causes.

All the best.
