The only bright spark, one must admit has come from the innovative iraqi who has inspired many a sardaar to perfect the art of gently lobbing a sneaker and making a point, howsoever pointless.
Welcome to the new age journalist indulging in "Jarnailism" when not reporting obscure stories. What Jarnail Singh has unleashed is a virtual "Shu-nami". Within a fortnight, atleast 4 more politicos have been targeted by different brands of shoes in different parts of the country. Am sure that Madhur bhandarkar must be itching to announce a grandiose plan to direct a film around this "historic s(ho)e-ries of events".
While this mega event led to some "has been" politicos being "shoo-ed out", for me, it has served as an inspiration to draft my own list of favourites from diverse fields, who must be "booted out" - figuratively - if we were to save our senses from being continuously assaulted.
- Southern Sleepies : Karunanidhi & devegowda : for being the most ugly political faces on TV.
- the buffalo brigade - Mulayam, Maya and Mamta -for wanting to take India back to the 18th century - sans computers, english, cars,,,........!
- The Sawant shows : Rakhi Sawant - for turning herself into a bigger spectacle by aping Jade Goody. God help her and the guy she gets married to in front of a live TV audience!!
- Sagarika Ghosh, Rajdeep Sardesi and Karan Thapar - for loving their own voices and forgetting why they invite guests to their studios.
- Sonia Gandhi's Hindi or "wiper arm" tactics - dont mind the face or personality. but please i cant see her arm waving tactics and cant bear to hear her for another 5 years
Shoo kar mere man ko kiya tune kya ishaara....
Can more jarnail Singhs please stand up!
