Damn the walk... just talk!!!

Crazy and insensitive are the words which come to my mind as I watch the program 'Walk the Talk' hosted by Shekhar Gupta on NDTV. The guest is the owner of the IPL team Mumbai Indians - Nita Ambani!!!
The interview is ok, she talks intelligent and seems like a no-nonsense lady. She is talking about her team, about her dreams, about her dream project and of course, 'how could I forget' 'The OTHER Modi'!!!
'The Other Modi' or more aptly 'The IPL Modi' is the talk of the country. As we followed IPL 3 this year, as the tournament progressed, we started following the games off the field with more interest and vigor than the games inside!!! It all started with 'tweets'. Maybe Modi tried playing smart but 'panga' against a Central Minister proved too expensive for his own good.
It is such an irony that the Minister who he took to battle is also a famous twitter in his own right!!!
So the things went on a frenetic pace, he took Tharoor's job, and the Congress Govt. duly obliged with a return gift. It was quite alarming to see Congress use agencies like IT and media for its one point agenda, which was to paint Modi the villain and throw him out. They got after Pawar, BCCI and IPL franchises, just to scare and invariably tell them to shut up and stay away from Modi!!!
Anyway, coming back to this 'Walk the Talk', it was quite refreshing to see Nita Ambani sing praises for Modi. Let us face it, whatever may the truth be, IPL was Modi's baby and he brought it up so well. It was sadly taken away from him. Maybe he tried to take on something too big for himself!!!
BTW, if you are wondering about the title of this post and why did I start with words like crazy and insensitive, take this - Nita Ambani is made to walk around inside a stadium, out in the open, in the middle of the day!!! Summers are not the nice time to be walking out in open, especially if you are a Nita Ambani. She as well as Shekhar are sweating profusely!!! Someone give these media guys some brains!!!

They seem to have lost it... damn with the walk Shekhar... just sit and talk!!!
