Will he make it ?

Atlast that announcement came officaially.Shashi tharoor would be contested for the U.N secretary General's post as an official candidate of India.Though,criticism started flowing form many corners , it was like a dream that comes true for many people.To be frank,I was one among them.


The possibility of Mr.Sahshi Tharoor's being appointed as the next U.N secreatary general was foreseen by Malayala manorama nearly two years before in an article .Even before that, I had become an ardent fan of Mr.Tharoor .Mainly because of reading some news pieces about the brilliant personality .I used to follow his famous sunday column "The Shashi Tharoor Column" in "The Hindu",keeping the dictionary in one side.He was a non relinquished Indian (as opposed to the Non Resident Indian) according to him.It really made me wonder when he wrote about M.T Vasudevan Nair and Women in Kerala both convincingly and authentically with tremendous ease .Normally it is being said that Keralites will forget their roots so quickly.But shashi tharoor would be an exception,though he had not lived in Kerala for a long time.I have seen about this in one of his column where he refers about this due to the influence of his father, late Mr.Chandran Tharoor ,whose flat in mumbai was literally like a shed for his relatives who are all coming to Mumbai seeking their future.

Everybody knows that being such a great intellectual and such an experienced person in international affairs ,he is an apppropriate candidate for the post whom any nation can blindly support.Lets hope that he will make it .
