Amidst a press conference conveyed by our Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to address the media in retrospection of the Assam Bomb blasts and the measures taken by the Government In lieu of them we now have a reality TV Sitcom that is flashing 24 * 7 and the result purpose of the perpetrator served to an extent.
For when the P Chidambaram was asked about the 1984 sikhs riots accused Jagdish Tytler being acquitted by the CBI,the home minister answered with great composure and said that this was not the forum to be discussing that issue..he requested him to take the question at a correct forum.
And phew the next moment the Journalist Jarnail Singh hailed a white basketball shoe right across P Chidambaram who looked rather amused.For everyones liking he kept a really calm and maintained a dignified composure that seems rather uncharacteristic of the tamasha seeking Indian Politician.
Mr Chidambaram had the composure of continuing with the press conference and even requested the security forces to take his case lightly and do not be too harsh on him.
However as hungry for tamasha our media is they had their food for fodder and the replay of shoe throwing experiment is being replayed just about on every news channel and its also the biggest breaking news of the day.
I wonder why that even if the Union Minister Is ready to continue his conference why did the media disrupt the conference and actually give way to the journalists motive which was to seek everyones attention to a controversial topic which the government was shielding their way.To be honest he has more than just managed it.
Imagine this scenario I am an Assamese reporter who hail from Assam where there was a blast yesterday and just because someone disrupted a conference where the security of Assam was being taken into account and strict questions answered, I get disgruntled and at the very next conference throw a shoe for not answering me properly…..alas we need to grow up.
Then apart news channels are comparing the footage to the shoe throwing incident at President Bush in Iraq,the angles,the reactions,the titbits,the hailing of the hero as by the Sikhs here and the arabs in Iraq who gifted him a Mercedez car.

Its for us to wait and watch what happens to Jarnail singh in this case in point.May be not a mercedez but a Bollywood producer may just sign him up for a scene in a movie showing throwing shoes at a politico just about to maintain some reality.
