Diagnosis...
Events in the past week, tragic to say the least, have given us a chance to discover hidden talents in some cases, and glaring shortcomings in others. A few politicians have already demonstrated symptoms of the dreaded "Foot in the mouth" disease, while some in the media have shown how stupid and insensitive they are.
- Arnab Goswami - needs a dictionary/thesarus. Suffers from "loss of words" syndrome. Mr.Goswami, its OK to be silent, if there is nothing to say.
- Simi Garewal - needs a primary grade history course - not all green clothes are Pakistani flags. Ms.Garewal, do you know the way to the school closest to your abode?
- Sagarika Ghose - can someone please tell her she is close to being the most hated journalist in the country? She tried really hard to make a fool of herself during the conversation with Ravi Shankar Prasad. She succeeded beyond expectations 'cos she was up against someone smarter. Ms.Ghose, please learn when to shut up.
- Jayanti Natarajan - needs to be told there has to be more to an argument than BJP bashing. Madam Natarajan, when will you realize two wrongs don't make a right?
- Barkha Dutt - THE drama queen. Don't you think she is wasting her talents in newsrooms in Delhi? Pity, RGV doesn't make tear jerkers, else he'd have signed her during his infamous Taj survey. Also Ms.Dutt, please do a better job at screening out dumb guests on your already dramatic shows.

And for these page 3 "celebrities", the biggest pain is the fact that the "Taj" has been destroyed - the "Taj" where they used to party, the "Taj" where they ate and boozed and slept with God knows whom - the "Taj" where they spent their "hard earned money".
Someone needs to remind them that lives were lost, mothers lost their sons and daughters, wives lost their husbands and the City's image has taken a beating.
I am wondering if some of them think that its the Taj Mahal that's been hit!
@hari
Given the airheadedness of the various folks in question, I wouldn't be surprised if they did think that way ;-)
Here's their side of the argument: http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/mumbaiterrorstrike/Story.aspx?ID=COLEN20080075194&type=opinion.
Simply put, when there are NO rules, you simply haven't broken any and you form the rules.
Going by that article, every hostage who was asked "where" in the hotel he was located was asked that question because he wanted to be asked so.
Every wife who was asked how she feels when her husband was inside was because she wanted to let the world know how she feels!
India wanted to know the condition of the curtains and walls of the Taj hotel after the encounter.
Going by the article, people wanted to bring in the topic of the recent violence against non-Mumbaikars into this coverage and question the absence of some politicians from the 'scene' at that time.
Phew....
