Early days:
Shashi Tharoor, was born in London in 1956. His father was a newspaper executive and mother a housewife. His family has roots in Palakkad, Kerala, India. Tharoor had most oh his schooling and under graduation in Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata(Calcutta) and Delhi. He completed his honors degree in History from the prestigious St. Stephen's College, Delhi and won a scholarship to Tufts University, Boston. In the mid 1970's, Shashi went to the United States and acquired two master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University. When he completed his education he was just 22 years old! . It is remarkable that despite being out of India from such an early age, Tharoor retains a strong attachment to his Indian roots.

My admiration for Sashi Tharoor started from reading his tweets on twitter...that was a time when i was still trying to figure out what twitter is all about and his tweets made me realise that twitter is larger than life...the fact that you could be in touch with a minister of the country and know all the stuff he does regarding politics,personal and social life...So it almost made me jump feet first into the twitter world, soon i was following every tom dick and harry of the celeb world.

But above all Shashi Tharror sets the standard for political twitters with his audacity and open thoughts. The way he tweeted about the government's new visa policy is an example of the kind of man he is....So he is the kind that the country was waiting for,the kind that connects to people. So finally the dream politician is here !!
