And suddenly A humble piece of footwear has become the MASCOT for political dissent. If George W. Bush and Wen Jiabao (the Chinese premier) are to be believed, the shoe is mightier than the pen, instantly imprinting embarrassment, indelibly!
Our suave Chidu is now in exalted company.
Gone are the days of the humble pie (Bill Gates), green goo (Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise) and champagne (Leonardo De Caprio), the FLYING SHOE has arrived.
Just a thought……would it have made more of a statement if the object thrown had been the lowly CHAPPAL rather than a Reebok, size 8 or otherwise? Apart from giving the chappal sales a push (if tales of surging Turkish made shoes in Iraq are to be believed), would it have given the BJP combine more righteous reason to harangue about the UNINDIANESS of the Sikh riots?
Never mind the gracious pardon from ‘Chidu’, Tytler remains free as a bird AND the grand old partys’ candidate for the umpteenth time.
