 Shashi Tharoor, the United Nations official, author and India’s candidate to succeed Kofi Annan as Secretary General of the UN, has withdrawn his candidacy. Of course, what’s worse he lost to a gentleman called Ban Ki-moon. Why did Tharoor lose? Jaalmag.com’s analysts have 10 answers for you:
1. He spent more time brushing his hair back than lobbying for himself.
2. India sent Defence Pranab Mukherjee to campaign for him instead of Aishwarya Rai. Every time Pranabbabu tried to bring his name up, he was served a plate of sushi.
3. The only over-the-top fiction writer everyone was paying attention to was Pervez Musharraf.
4. He sent Kofi Annan to lobby with US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.
5. India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh went to Havana for the Non-Aligned Movement summit instead of coming to New York. He didn’t realize that the NAM has been renamed NEM – the Non-Existent Movement.
6. Tharoor was considered too close to Hillary Clinton (see pic above).
7. He spent more time shampooing and conditioning his hair than lobbying for himself.
8. China vetoed his candidature before he became a candidate.
9. Sonia Gandhi chose him.
10. He spent more time styling his hair than lobbying for himself.
