ok so Mr Tharoor is on his way out and ever so unwilling is the media to let the story go. I mean how significant is this event in all the scheme of things that the country faces today. Why is there no such furore or fervent discussion on Dantewada? Isn't it so obvious for all to see ...i mean how glamorous is a rebellion fight in the hills of Chattisgarh ( whose capital i bet most of us aren't even aware of!) compared to a salacious combination of power(Tharoor) and beauty(Sunanda) in the corridoors of the Capital?

How many more such stories will go undiscussed , unfocussed before we reality comes crashing down on us? When will we begin to respect the value of a fellow Indian's life ?

It won's so long as public thinking is shaped by a media that habitually chooses to chase and magnify trivia instead of issues that demand serious attention. Have most of us already forgotten the tragedy of 26/11 or the 94 Bombay blasts etc?
