Et Tu Barkha Dutt

The chinks in your armour started showing a long time back. Like the phone call on your mobile from Varun Gandhi, right in the middle of Live TV, during previous elections - you sounded like friends. We were left wondering - Where is your otherwise strong sense of propriety?

Over a long period of time, we thought - "wow this lady can really ask some tough questions". To politicians, bureaucrats, army men, sportsmen/women... Alas, there is someone out there looking out for us. Atleast asking asking the questions we want to ask.

Now we get it. It was all a show. A damn good one. I am sure you conscience would have been long dead - since the first time you crossed the line between propriety and impropriety. Now, the shame of public embarassment.

I know you will get through this. I think you are a fighter. Next time I see you ask a tough question to anybody, I will be chuckling, so will be the person answering you.
