Today evening, while checking out the
magazines at a bookstore, I saw The Outlook and couldn't get my eyes off
it's cover. There was an official portrait of Obama in black suit with US flag in
the background and two
familiar words written under it, "The Underachiever". I
was shocked with excitement! That's something!
Not long back (July 16th issue), Time Magazine had put
Indian Prime Minster Manmohan Singh on the cover page and gave him the title,
The Underachiever. And now, an Indian magazine, after two weeks, does the
same with US President Barak Obama!
Various thoughts crossed my mind! How to take
this? As a kid crying mummy when another kid from neighborhood steals his
lollypop OR as a slap on the face of the west with a message,
"introspect". Both of these conditions are extremities and the truth
perhaps, lies somewhere in between.
Obviously, there is no mention of Manmohan
Singh or his underachievement (forget the Time story, itself) in the cover
story but the two things cannot be un-linked in their entirety. Some might say,
The Outlook is not The Time and therefore try to undermine the importance of it
but running a story of such dimensions in such a way looks definitely exciting!
Now, whether this is out of guts of gimmick, is for the public to decide!
wow... that was something I did not know. Did outlook really publish that story. yeah, everybody knows that whatever obama promised- only a meager amount of the same was realized.
ReplyDeleteBut the magazine idea to run a story on it looks like a publicity stunt. (that too right after the manmohan story)
Must get a copy and read the same for myself.
