Stop the nonsense!!

No, I am not debating here about the claims that the Pakistan military ruler makes in his newly released book. General Musharraf is in New York for the release of his book and prior to his visit there he briefly met up with the Indian Prime Minister in Havana. It has always been a brilliant photo opportunity for the journos whenever the leaders of the two nations, India and Pakistan, meet up or even forcibly made to shake hands at various world events.

Though the journalists present at most of these meetings are interested in only one thing, “Kashmir”. It is really annoying to hear the same question being asked by different journalist and it goes in something like this format, “So, did you had discussions regarding the Kashmir issue?” C’mon guys being journalists you can do better and if the leaders really had a breakthrough talk and feel the need to disclose it to the media, they would do so.

I think Manmohan Singh and Musharraf should also  try and be innovative and not repeat the same phrases which goes something like, “we had a good discussion, the talks are moving further, both nations are co-operating……………”.

Someone gotta stop this nonsense. After a long day at work, I don’t want to switch on my tele to watch this.
