The 'new' breed of Politicians and over achievers

Santosh Desai has written a naturally 'poignant' piece in light of the events of the day in my now scantily read ToI copy somewhere in the Center pages. Thought he TOI by itself remains a GenXstory and not so interesting for thinkera and people of our age in life wo are politicians, business leaders, bollywood wannabes and even day to day office workers. 

However, Santosh pointed out a startingly true fact, that pressed on with an arrogance that comes from being educated and gaining a high moral ground that education gives you, Tharoor had become the kind of politician educationists back in the fond hope of raising the bar in indian Politics and getting rid of scum like Maya behnji and others..

Well,my two observation run tangentially and much in opposition to each other and therein probably a greater man may help me find the contradictions in the diction. While on one hand stripped of everything but his language even when in office, Tharoor slips into a kind of maniacal disposition while speaking and esp in his statement on NDTV and otherwise while seated in Cattle class. He slips to the side of excesses and extremes and forgets pragmatic action because he is dually blessed with youth and the gift of the gab and slips once too often making him easy fodder for the old guard. In this case, his boss in the Cabnet has himself gone through multiple such episodes at the hands of the then old guard in the Congress when even Sitaram Kesiri was counted fit enough to hold Political office. 

The second observation why I took time to post this article instead of concentrating on things banking and finance, is that another patron saint "Swami Ramdev" the exact embodiment of the discredited UP and Bihar belt like Maya behnji has anounced his decision to 'enter politic' on the same daya that Tharoor has quit. Wow, are we still looking at supporters of India does not need education lurking around looking to make a kill in The Trillion Dollar Government!
