Hmmm...

I was just watching Times Now, rather listening to Rahul Shivshankar screaming something about Kasab. And then he dropped a bombshell. He claimed that Priyanka Gandhi talking about Varun Gandhi's stupidity was the first inside the Gandhi family. Really? I am not quite that old, but because I was born into a political (journalist) household, I do remember that Arun Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi didn't quite get along. I mean, I remember snatches of the two men openly fighting. And they were cousins too. Nehru-Gandhi cousins, but same family right?
But this is Times Now's version of events, you know after the live broadcasts of commando's storming buildings we now figure out that they don't quite know history. maybe because screaming at researchers and chasing them away isn't a good thing, but at least they'll get some decent people from outside to do their election coverage. I'm losing interest in HT's plot to bore me out of my skull by sending an army of mainly novices all over the place. You know, the times when the older guys write, despite their biases, it somehow shines through.

And I want to know whether "When a Big Tree falls,the Earth shakes" made in 1984 by Varun's uncle and Priyanka's father would have been treated the same way by the Media ,along with a "Read Gita" recommendation from the daughter?

Also why is no one covering Sharad Pawars speech where he nearly blames Hindus for all terrorist activities. As per him post Malegaon arrests hardly any terror activity has happened. He forgot Mumbai of course.
