Octavio Quattarochi Effect

It has been a long time since I got myself silenced on commenting and venting out my frustration through blogging. But I could not take it anymore when my 8 year old daughter predicted that the prime time news will always have one name that she is familiar with – That of Italian businessman, Octavio Quattarochi. Oh duck. How come she doesn’t know who is who of the country that she began her googling of Quattarochi?
Well, that is because our politicians never learn. They are still dissecting Quattarochi for their political gains. Sessions after sessions – meant to take decisions for millions of poor in India – are still wasted on this Quattarochi phenomenon. And this debate is for kickback on arms that India bought and won major battles. If you cant understand why this happens how come I should do that.
Tomorrow’s history books may or may not have our national leaders but it will certainly have Quattarochi. Not only parliamentarians waste time on this issue but even courts, public prosecutors, investigating agencies, external affairs ministry, PMO, leader of opposition, various political parties and oops, the list is endless, have not done a good job either.
What the duck we are talking about? We have many others pending. We have to cater to the growing young generation who has nothing to do with Bofors or Quattarochi. C’mon guys talk something like BL-5C, Xbox or some fancy names that they are interested in? What are you joking about? Quattarochi????
