Shoe: Mightier than pen ??

They say "Pen is mightier than a sword" but times have changed and seems, so have this proverb. Now if I go on to make my own maxim saying "A shoe is far mightier than a Pen" it won't really sound out of place. A couple of weeks back I was shocked that Shoe Throwing fad has caught up with Indian journos as well..A Sikh reporter from a Hindi daily venting out his ire against P.Chidambaram during a Press Meet by hurling his shoe directly at him when he refused to answer some question regarding Jagdish Tytler's involvement in the Sikh communal riots. I must say, either the world has gone too flatter or our Indian skills are getting better in catching up with whats in vogue, doesn't matter if its maligning the whole society of theirs or they're deviating from what they've been instructed and qualified to do.

The latest entry into this Shoe throwing episode is L.K.Advani at whom his former party member hurled his slipper as he was peeved with the party leadership for being removed from his post due to groupism within the party.
For Indian Politicians these are more than just standout incidents to make an issue out of nothing. I just hope the ever opportunist Advani doesn't claim that shoe lobbed at him belonged to the CONGRESS..:-P



As a matter of fact its a thing to be condemned and there are better ways out there for the civilized folks to vent their ire. Why lose your shoes for that and get into a trouble knowing it well that neither will it serve the purpose nor you'll get your shoe back. :-)

{ My suggestion here is to train all our high profile Politicians to dodge the shoes, slippers and sandals of all shapes and sizes effectively a'la Matrix's NEO and a word to all those shoe hurling journos, headmasters and party-members: Work hard to get your aim right } :-P :-D
