P-tutes
The entire controversy on the P word is contrived & misdirected and therefore unnecessary! Even the original "P"word with an "O"instead of an "e"is hardly in use and a more respectful terminology has been identified as a replacement and is in vogue for long now.That the original P word is abusive,insensitive, passe, politically incorrect, defies dignity of labour for the alleged oldest profession in the world, etc is undisputed! But the new coinage, with an "e" instead of the archaic use of "o" is simply brilliant! Mind you, only as an invention!
However, the target for whom the word was coined has been put to much discomfiture. One has heard many accusations against the craftsman who coined the word in the last few days. One has also heard the target of the P word, raving and ranting against Lutyen's Delhi type of journalists and how he is above them and not of their ilk. And declaring that he needs to be treated differentially because, unlike the Lutyens Delhi types, he's not available to the highest bidder ! What, by the way, is the " Lutyens Delhi type" a description often used by this demagogue from outside the national capital region to taunt his competitors by assuming a moral, intellectual and ethical high ground? How is the Delhi media any worse than Mumbai or Jaipur or Chennai media? Or how does one individual from Mumbai acquire the authority to club every journalist with that pejorative term "Lutyens Delhi type"? I think he has a huge Delhi complex and wants a slice of that cake, with all its lovely, tempting icings! Maybe someone should oblige him! BTW, why have the Lutyens Delhi Journalists chosen not to challenge this innuendo? The Nation wants to know NOW....
