Its interesting to read the updates of Shashi Tharoor and Barkha Dutt on twitter.

On one hand is a politician who makes you wonder if politics can be this clean. I wonder if any other MP in India has this kind of a day! And Barkha Dutt for the way she has changed the face of Indian journalism, if you read her articles on HT you realise the voice of the aspiring Indian (whatever that meant to you!)… and yet in both the updates you can’t help but notice the phenomenal simplicity about them. Guess as they say, great people make complicated things simple and normal people do it the other way around!

But another thing you notice is Shashi Tharoor’s tweets are full of his articles or news coverage and he also lends a supporting hand to causes he sees as you go along, he sounds like one of those men who would make people think less about politics, cause you know things are being taken care well! (and) Barkha Dutt’s are about the program she anchors. So it does make me wonder if they are actually maintained by support staff. But in any case, it is good to see their set of milestones in life.
