Prez Karan Thapar-ed!

It takes a Karan Thapar to do this!

As I was changing channels, I was amazed to see Karan Thapar interviewing Prez Gen Musharaff! And the temperature was getting hotter for the prez with each word spoken by karan. The piece I loved in the interview went something like this. It may not be the exact words, but this is the content..

Gen: I am willing to do anything to move the peace process forward with India

Karan: Are you sure anything

Gen: absolutely

Karan: SO you wouldn't mind taking ideas from journalists in the middle of interviews for the peace process with india?

Gen: %%&@#$??

The interview went like this-

Karan Thapar made a suggestion to General Musharaff. The latter showed interest and said he would give it serious consideration. Thapar summarised the General's unrestricted approach by saying he would even take suggestions from a journalist. It wasn't a challenge. It was a purposeful remark made before the nation to emphasise the General's willingness to make progress.

There was mutual amiability and respect.
