Once upon a time, (before Laloo started dabbling with Railways balance sheets), there used to be a joke going around.
There was a meeting between visiting Japanese authorities and Laloo.
Japanese Makacho and Bokacho challenged Laloo, "Give Bihar to us for three years and we shall make a Japan out of it!"
To which our man replied ever so nonchalantly, "Arrey! Theen saal kyon? Mujhe Jaapaanko theen maheeney ke liye dey do! Usko Bihar banwaadhoo(n)!!"
[Loosely translated: Hey! Why three years? Give me Japan for three months and I will convert it to Bihar!]
That is precisely what seems to be happening between our dear media and politicians. At this rate, they will make Tharoor into one of themselves!

Hence this open tweet to Mr Tharoor:
Shashi: As u r 2 educatd 4 India media n Polits y not donate em a dictionary to find meaning of interlocutor? No. Might as well carry 1 arnd..
There you go! My first tweet, though not on Twitter, meeting the 140-character tyranny!
