The art of laying the entire blame on someone else has been mastered over the years by the human race. It got even more techno-savvy when the media jumped in.
Take the IPL for instance, the greatest on-screen drama since Othello...It has all the ingredients it needs to qualify for a 24*7 exposure on nation-wide television. Glamour, Politicians, Shady deals, Huge money..it doesn't take too long for a combination like that to present itself as a gold mine for the sensationalism-hungry journalists..And boy, did they strike it rich!
While Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor pummelled each other and screamed themselves hoarse saying "I'm completely blemishless..It was HIM all along", more characters took to the pointing-finger sport on the stage. Dive in Sharad Pawar, an absolute ace at this game, with his hands in every murky deal that goes on..and presto, the "It wasn't me" phrase just got repeated exponentially!
Do we hope for a day when everyone would take complete responsibility for their actions? Hell,no...If we'd to, we'd be in deep s*** with our managers, professors and spouses! All we need to do is to make sure that 'Pointing fingers at someone else' gets listed as one of the virtues. Then we can happily point fingers at corrupt politicians while we shirk our responsibilities with ease.
