HOLY COWS

Mr. Shashi Tharoor lost his campaign in United Nations to Bank Ki Moon, the present Secretary General.

Bank Ki -Moon born on 13 June 1944 is the current Secretary-General of the United Nations succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before becoming Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from college, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. In the foreign ministry he established a reputation for modesty and competence.

The US vetoed an Indian holy cow out from the honorable post of UN Secretary General even when Mr. Tharoor was the desirable candidate for many member nations of UN. After that unholy experience Mr. Tharoor demoted himself to join Indian Politics where he had to beg votes from holy cows of India. He joined politics of course to serve India. But from his top diplomatic status, he opted for a field where dignified Indians twice think to step in. That is the reason Infosys Mentor Narayan Murthy formed Infosys to serve India in a way that Indian politicians learn from him if they really want to serve India. Naryan Murthy showed how holy cows of India can contribute to the nation. Mr. Murthy's vision to India is different that of the politicians. You don't need to be a minister or power crazy Hitler to contribute to the betterment of society. Shashi Tharoor will soon realise that.
