Thapar reduced Kapil to a crybaby…or was it stage managed? I think the latter.
Thapar is an ass. Modi a bigger ass. It was obvious that the interview will involve some of the hightest pitched braying making an absolute donkey of whoever watched it.

> I found it great viewing, the more condescending Karan gets, the smugger Lalit looks.
The Oxbridge ponce takes on the complacent Marwari – match made in heaven.

You must see what he did to Kapil – what even the cbi could not! Until then, most of us thought that Kapil was clean and Prabhakar was just venting, but after Thapar’s third degree on Hard Talk, …

Hey Homer, thanks for the youtube links. Really wanted to see the interview after reading this blogpost and you saved me time in searching for it.

Honestly both Karan Thapar and Lalit Modi are complete jackasses. Hence the interview is so much fun. Like Jogesh99 said, Karan never lets anyone finish a sentence and in most of his interviews, he even tries to answer his own questions before his guest can answer.

Regarding quality of IPL cricket, well not even the most die hard fan will agree thats its the best we have ever seen. Its a lot of fun though and I quite enjoy watching it.

UJ,

Modi has reasons to be smug, Karan Thapar is a journalist!

Cheers,

H, it is quite a funny interview really, more like an American political interview between people of two opposite political divides. Condescending prick on one side, smug prick on the other.

Jogesh, I’d just read about Pandey, that is why I linked them up at the end of the piece.

The much maligned Pandey just went berserk in the ranji trophy:

And Zaheer picked up 3, so he’ll be back for the lanka series.

Karan Thapar is a condescending prick.
