Shilpa Shetty - Global Opportunist?

Shilpa Shetty seems to have hit good times like never before. First her popularity soared after she won the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother and now the BJP is wooing her to join the party. Some new channels say that she has already got offers from Hollywood - WOW!

Most Indians who have spent time living in London will have a personal story to tell you about Racial Discrimination. It might not be a big one like Shilpa's...it will still be true. So, I refuse to believe that Shilpa was naive enough to think she'll have a good time in London doing the show. She is a smart woman who has got on the top of the heap in Bollywood (which is probably worse than Celebrity Big Brother). She would have done her research. My take is that she fully knew what she was getting into. It probably got blown out of proportions...so what the heck...Three weeks of grueling effort and the results are for all of us to see.

Way to go Shilpa...In a largely opportunist world, i see no wrong in what you have done...Go get the world.

One too many scams...

CNN-IBN exposed a scam today..."pay goons, get votes" for the local polls in Mumbai. The Election commissioner of Maharashtra immediately retorted that any such irregularities should be reported to the Mumbai Police and stern action would be immediately taken against the erring parties.

One obvious question comes to mind - Are the election commissioners and the police officers not aware of such incidents during elections??? Or is it that they wait with folded hands for a widely followed news channel to expose and some other party to report this to them before they decide to move into action? If so, my belief is that this too is a scam!!!
