My thoughts: @Harish: Tharoor the individual is not answerable to anyone but as a Minister, he has chosen to be answerable to the country, the Prime Minister and his voters. It's not about money, its about conducting power responsibly. @Palash, Kuntal & Avinash: Thanks! I am angered by lies and hypocrisy, especially when it comes from a leader like Tharoor. Leaders know exactly how to set expectations and thankfully, I've reset mine. Capitalism and austerity are hard to balance but there are good leaders who tread it and balance it well. @Abdullah: Well, I love Kerala House, especially their food, the fried fish they make is just awesome. I've stayed there frequently but not a single crook or weasel came my way. Only the cooks came, with lots of yummy seafood and other delicacies. I guess I missed the adventures happening there coz I got too involved with what was cooking there..in their kitchens:) Thank you all for the interesting comments. My thoughts:

Every crook, tout, broker, middleman and deal-maker in Delhi invades them to weasel favours and cut deals -- there's no breathing space from the invasion, it's sickening and I fully understand why a decent man like Shashi Tharoor wants no part of it! have you seen Kerala House when ministers are in residence?

Atleast I did not expect such response from him. He have degraded his respect from my side as well. I do agree with Swapna's thoughts.

I think Shashi did the right thing by vacating his Taj suite after defence minister's diktat. Tough to expect an austere lifestyle from a former diplomat.
