Shashi Tharoor, LTTE and the Nuclear Deal

School is out. And, I am out of school for good. At least, for now. I had hoped that it will provide me more time to update my blog. Call it post school paralysis (PSP) I have not done anything.

In mean time a lot has been happening w.r.t India. Shashi Tharoor is the Indian candidate for the UN Secretary General. LTTE offers almost an apology for killing Rajiv Gandhi as Sri Lanka is fast spiraling into yet another civil war. And, the controversial US-India nuclear deal is all set to go through.

I think Shashi Tharoor is a great guy and a good author. And, I don’t think there is anything wrong with his statement ‘I shall be an Indian Secretary General but not India's Secretary General.' Of course, this seem to pissed off the likes of TVR Shenoy, who like many believe that the person should push his nation’s interest and since UN like India follows a reservation system Tharoor does not stand a chance so should not be a candidate.
