Sassy T

I was reading 'My Country, My Life' last night and found this

"Those who dream of politics as the bed of roses, or to suffer the dust and din of mass campaigns are not fit for the cause"

Shashi Tharoor was asked this

Are you familiar with the constituency?

I am indeed familiar with the constituency. The capital is not strange turf to me. I have been a frequent visitor to this city where my paternal uncle had settled for long. I nurture nostalgic memories about the streets getting cleaned by the rains during the 60s. Memories of those days when I visited the city along with my parents are fresh in my mind. Bombay and Thiruvananthapuram had perhaps the cleanest and tidiest streets. Now, both cities have changed considerably.
