devils advocate...aptly so!

well the 27 something percent reservation in private educational institutions....
how many 4 it, how many against it...
a million polls centring round this issue on the so many jobless media channels...
was viewing a programme on CNN-IBN called "devils advocate" hosted by karan thapar...
well initially used to dislike the guy when on another channel[ bbc methinks] ...
reason being...way too fast to even comprehend!
but now mus say...hes sobered down ..no longer runs with his sentences...
so...he hosts the show "DEVILS ADVOCATE" and mus say its an apt title when he hosts it...
his style of questioning can sure be a sticky position for the guest...
it was really nice to c him pin down the HRD minister arjun singh and his take on reservations...
mus say the honorable minister was either very diplomatic or was jus plain unprepared...
for almost every question posed, his answer was a consistent...i dont know....

picture this...

disclaimer!!
not verbatim...jus a gist...

Q.will the reservation apply to all classes in all generations...
A.i dont know...it depends...it might...i think the benefit should pass on to all generations
[ duh?!?!]
Q. will the govt stagger the process
A. i dont know...

Q.how is it going to be implemented..
am sure the answer is now evident :)

it was shocking to hear these responses come out from a union minister's mouth...
before theres unnecessary hype bout the whole thing...
methinks the people who thought of it in the first place should themselves have a blue print ready...no point passing a bill only to wonder what the next step should be....
