Editor and now also part owner of the Indian Express group of newspapers (which also includes Financial Express and the Hindi daily Jansatta), Shekhar Gupta is today more known for his television programme, Walk the Talk, a blatant copy of John Simpson of the BBC's style of conducting in-depth interviews with newsmakers while strolling through some public or semi-public place. These interviews run on NDTV and are then printed in Indian Express, suggesting the possibility of a financial tie-up between the two companies.
ShekharGupta suggests that the cut-off date of year 2000 is 'scandalous and self-serving'.
If ShekharGupta truly believes that those are the reasons why Mumbai is where it is now, he should argue for reforms there before the demolitions.
To ShekharGupta and the shameless middle class who preferred to turn off NDTV and switched to Zoom TV when little kids were rummaging through the broken rubble to retrieve their textbooks - you shall reap as you sow.
ShekharGupta, a head-clerk in a private firm, faces a financial crisis when his father - a retired school master in village - comes to stay with him in Bombay.
This leads to frequent quarrels between the husband and wife culminating in Shekhar's command to Indu to resign from her job.
Later, however, when Indu was about to tender her resignation, Shekhar telephones her not to do so, become, the firm he was working for had closed down and he was jobless.
