Just into the world of politics and bingo, Shashi Tharoor is in the midst of all the controversies going his way. Bad or good, he is in news all the time. And gosh! aint he getting all the popularity!!! [:P]
Starting off with the controversy about him staying in luxury hotels for all of his official visits, when he has the authority and eligibilty to use the government guest houses. The news insiders say that he was not happy with the facilities in the govt. guest houses.. Ahaa!! Finally, our man had enough and called it quits, telling that all of the expenses have been paid from his personal account and not the govt. Gotcha!!! Then came the new controversy, where the hell did he get so much money from!!! Ooopsss..
In the wake of all these talks came up the next controversy , the " Cattle Class " controversy. Here, our man was charged of mocking the economy class (flight) as the cattle class. Now where has the democracy gone to?? Cant people tell what they feel? Gosh!!!!
Then the most recent highlight in the news industry!! Sunanda Pushkar and Shashi Tharoor!!! Now whos this new face? Well, a beautiful kashmiri lady, supposedly to be Shashi Tharoor's girl friend and ofcourse a major stake holder in the new IPL team from kerala. The latest controversy fueled up by Lalit Modi (IPL Commisoner) accusing Shashi Tharoor of showing interst in the IPL team from Kerala because of his sweet heart holding a major stake in the team. Now now.. What has that got to do with a new team launch!!! Sounds like a bollywood movie!! aint it!!
PS: Ofcourse there are many more lil' controversies adorned by our man. Like the one on Gandhi Jayanthi, where in Tharoor commented that people ought to go out and work on that day and show respect to the Father of our Nation rather than sit at home. And Boom!! I have only written on the most popular ones.. Many more to come!!

The Bhutto Legacy : Unplugged!!!
Recently at the mumbai launch of her book - Songs of Blood and Sword, Fatima Butto (daughter of Murtaza Bhutto and niece of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto), clad in a brown sari and looking her elegant best, spoke of the harsh realities she encountered in her life. The Bhutto legacy is always in news. Though Fatima is said to have not been in good terms with her aunt, Benazir Bhutto, she has told that there have been many sweet memories too associated with her aunt in her childhood days.
Likewise, Fatima suspects Asif Ali Zardari to be behind the killing of her father, Murtaza Bhutto. It is said that the news of her fathers demise was first brough to her by the Pakistani Premier very cruelly.
Her latest book - Songs of Blood and Sword is set around the story of the Pakistan's influential Bhutto family that has gone through a lot of violence and death. This book could not be published in Pakistan, but in India.
