Shining Path

Read biography

Firstpost is thrilled to introduce Shining Path, an audience member who will begin blogging for us on a regular basis. In his own words: "Shiningpath had enough! 6451 days of debilitating non-work in corporate corridors, cubicles and windowless cabins. Chained to protocols, bound by hierarchies and surrounded by people with core competencies. So he hit the self-eject button, and found himself a nice hammock – from where he now watches the world , reads, attempts to write , gives a comment here, a commentary there...unsolicited mainly….and moonlights as a freelance business consultant in Bangalore.

Don’t let the sun go down (on me)

Jun 8, 2011

Dear  Members of the Jury and the most Honourable Judge,

3 days. That’s all it took for the spin doctors to daze, amaze and confuse us to distract the attention away from me.

BJP leader Sushma Swaraj dances on a patriotic song during the party's Satyagrah against corruption, near Rajghat in New Delhi on Sunday night. PTI

A full monty  of diversionary tactics. One has to  admire their perseverance and single-minded focus at planting newer trees every day -  so that people don’t know which one to bark up! Should we debate on Sushma dancing to Munni’s plastic-fantastic-and-most-likey-botoxic  jawaani ( Was it? How dare you? Were you there? ) , or is this about the hair-dye BR uses? ? Does he at all?  Schwarzkopf?  How does he afford it? “Say that one more time and i will sue you all the way to hell and back! ”

Or is it about Sonia getting all frosty with MMS? No wait, Uma Bharti just came back! At this point, stop and scratch your head,  and wonder aloud why she came back at all.  Heck, why Rajghat! Heck back, why not Rajghat! Oh wait…must be all that nonsense about pranayama curing cancer! Or even AH’s assets – let me know when you find some :-) A cover-up, a red-herring…..perhaps even a scapegoat sacrificed here, a crash test dummy sacrificed there – in order to get the “perfect” obfuscation strategy right .

I thought this was about me! The issue! Corruption and black money!

They’re killing me…softly….like that Roberta Flack song…she of course, sang it in a different context, but that’s alright…..let us twist the lyrics to suit us a tad! That seems pretty much to be the zeitgeist……twist and shout, till the original issue gets drowned in the cacophony of some diabolically meaningless   diversionary soundtracks!

……….save me!  Don’t let them kill me this time.

Best Regards,
THE ISSUE
p.s: if you find our Occam’s Razor, kindly return it.
