Those who are into news and even those who are not into news by now know how dangerous can an apparently "harmless" social networking site be to your job.
Since the diplomat Mr. Tharoor became the junior foreign Minister he has been enduring eternal adversities, courtesy his incessant tweeting.
I always associated the word "Diplomat " with being laconic in expression; but this former UN diplomat seemed to defy all definitions and create new ones of his own and he was successful too until very recently.
The obiter dictum between the IPL Czar Lalit Modi and the junior foreign minister on twitter have now opened a pandora's chest and as has landed every one involved in a soup from which they are not likely to come out.
While Mr. Lalit Modi's fate hangs in balance Mr. Tharoor has lost it all: the job, the stake and may be the girl too ( it may be at a later stage though).
Lesson from the story: indiscreet tweeting can be detrimental to your job and to those who trusted you with their secrets.
Till the Government and IB carries out its investigation lets wait and watch

i am amazed with the shashi tharoor, lalit modi episode. but i seriously think nothing is gonna come out of this circus .as far as people are concerned well public memory is short lived. we'll all soon forget about it.
ReplyDeleteA 'diplomat' used to be someone who 'lies' abroad for his country. In the twitter age..neither geography nor being a diplomat is relevant. Everyone lies!
