Have always switched channels when Tom started preaching.... dont know what the madam loves in him :)

as for Tharoor.. he has indeed created an earthquake among the Congress guards... am looking forward to see where it is leading and how Tharoor is going to handle it..

Tom Vadakkan looked like a lonely man who couldn't get a ticket after years of ahem...(should I use the word).

Other than common man and cattle everyone took offense. As they say 'Birds of a feather flock together.' I hope birds is better than cattle. :))

AAhhh, so true dude.........

there are a thousand other problems that people can direct their energies too.... but I just cannot believe it that people from congress itself are critizing him for the comment.....

a mountain is being made out of nothing.... as simple as that.........
and you rightly mentioned about the positive steps that he has taken after going office.....

@ Rocksea, lol..the man of the hour as far as I'm concerned.

@ Xylele, hahaaa its a scream isn't it? :D

@ Nitin, and they've openly exhibited that they're no different from any other political party..

@ Anish, wee that's at least a word to word translation. But Vadakkan?? Only he can tell us what he meant.. :P

@ Silverine, True. I'm very happy with the way people think about it as evident from Orkut and that IBN Live video.

2009-09-23T15:04:05.619+01:00

I do not think the common man was even concerned. It was the politicians aided by the media that created the ruckus. Ultimately they got egg on their face, as the electorate is far more discerning now.

2009-09-23T14:34:20.600+01:00

What to say,our 'honourable' indian media is responsble for making this matter worse.They got a proper topic and they celbrated it for a week.
and apart from media , some local leaders,who were jealous about the rapid growth of Mr.tharoor also tried to gain some polical mileage from this 'issue'
@ Tom vadakan---it is the joke of the week.I wish i can ask him about his 'twitter definition',if i get a chance
between all this issue remind me about the title of spider mans tamil version came in surya TV....silandi mapilai....

2009-09-21T09:37:03.731+01:00

Good one! A matter that should simply have been dismissed as a joke (which th PM admirably did in the end). As somebody recently suggested, Congress missed a great opportunity to look different from the BJP.

Yes. I did get a forward on it. hilarious !

2009-09-20T15:55:48.473+01:00

I guess people and politicians of India have identified and singled out the gravest issue the country is facing!

Now the best solution, instead of banning Tharoor would be, to ban Twitter. What say?

It seems Vadakkan is too lonely that he doesn't find anything else to hang on.

Cattle Shit!

@ RK, you said it. I just heard his name here and ...

2009-09-20T15:13:56.235+01:00

@ RK, you said it. I just heard his name here and there before but now it etched in my heart, e-t-c-h-e-d! heheheheee :)))

@ Sreejith, on high moral grounds it is not acceptable, but lets face it: we have worse ministers around, so lets spare poor old Tharoor for an honest slip of the tongue. ;)

@ Dreamer, this is what you call 5 seconds of fame!

@ Xylene, our Commie toilet paper Deshabhimani did translate hot dog very much literally last month and became the laughing stock of the nation. Didn't you hear? So this translation doesn't surprise me.

@ Chawlaji, your that last statement is a myth. Moily and some other spokesperson were removed from their posts after comments on Nitish Kumar just before the last elections. Remember? Jayanthi and Tiwari may have echoed sentiments of some of the senior leaders and the reason for some of these head-honchos disfavouring Tharoor is an open secret. So lets not read too much into that.

The PM has chuckled at this in the presence of Mrs.Gandhi, and her cub is also educated enough to see the quip as it is. Tharoor may get rapped on the knuckles, may be an admonition. But stripping him of his MEA post for cracking a wise wit will be too far fetched, I'm telling you.

@ Nona, I have doubts if someone deliberately pulled Vadakkan's leg. ;) The guy was speaking about getting a survey report about "tweets", I wonder if he searched the dictionary with some wrong spellings and ended up in this mess. Whatever, I just loved Amit Varma's reaction when he heard this lonely man joke.. Its revolutionary! :))

2009-09-20T14:39:15.511+01:00

Thank you for a very detailed compilation.

I was hearing the accounts in Hindi and Malayalam. It is so sad that people are using transliteration of "cattle-class" and it brings in a very negative effect.

As for Tom Vadakkan, he is right about the lonely man. But the lonely man is himself trying to catch up with technology and failing still!

2009-09-20T14:00:54.441+01:00

First of all,Indians and Indian politics is very sensitive to such issues.We can go on discussing this but the fact remains that the Congress party has also relised the damage it could do.Manish Tiwari addressed the media and says the action will be taken at the right time.Let us not forget,in Congress nothing is stated without the perfect nod from the high command.

2009-09-20T09:43:43.242+01:00

People translated Cattle class into their regional languages. Imagine if Slum dog was translated into malayalam or any other regional language. If it goes at this rate, the politicos would want to band hot dog as it is against culture to 'eat dogs'! or to call those food items as dogs.

2009-09-19T20:42:13.725+01:00

Well, it is true that Tharoor was forced to use the same word in his reply. But given the fact that he is holding a responsible position in the union ministry, he should not have used that word. And, the 'holy cow' remark was also not acceptable.
