The Shashi Tharoor episode is rather perspicous, or is it? Quoting the opposition, "..it is quid pro quo.." - a remuneration remitted against the counsel catered. To recapitulate, he advised, and loath to blatantly bypassing the book, he devised a plot involving an intimate and the company revised the sequestering of the shares. Simple, slimy and short, and these are the very characteristics which coagulate incredulity. Despite his status being that of a proselyte in Indian politics, the dapper MP - also an eloquent orator, credited writer, an extensively traveled and experienced diplomat - could not plausibly have conceived such a crass and colourless design. Truants and 'thumbsters' having proved themselves better tricksters and scamsters, the imputation is almost a brazen insult to the man's acclaimed intelligence!
I do realize that I might have been 'had' by his sophistication and speeches advocating change in Indian politics, and my protest may bear some semblance to the failure of infants at Piaget's A not B test, but such is the nature of trust. His resignation already tendered, an impartial inquiry into the matter is imperative. Solely not for his sake, I do hope he is exonerated. Mr.Tharoor's indictment would serve only to sever the snatch of optimism that had only begun to sprout.
