Thank you Mr KaranThapar and Mr Shashi Tharoor. Have not only enjoyed your conversation, but have enriched my vocabulary. .... going to a temple doesn't make you a Hindu any more than standing in a garage makes you a car ... "All aren't saints that go to a church." We all have two types of vocabulary accounts in our brain. The first is Active Words Account. Words we understand and can use in writing and speaking. The second is Passive Words Account. Words we had read or heard and cannot use them in writing or speaking because we haven't cared to understand their meaning. Any amount of words in this account are of no purpose because we cannot use them.
My father's English and vocabulary was so, so vast that when he wrote a letter to someone they didn't understand word of it. Even we children had to refer to Dictionary again and again.😊
'It is rain that grows grass and not thunder ', true alchemist changes metal into gold, a writer changes world into words, Mr Sasi Tharoor is the one and only 'English man' who can roast the English men in their bastion, his Oxford Union speech literally made the people of Union Jack to lick the dust!
If there's one thing certain about English pronunciation it is that there is almost nothing certain about it. No other language in the world has more words spelled the same way and yet pronunced differently. Bill Bryson
What a beautiful interview. I must say that nobody has interviewed Dr. Tharoor like Mr. Thapar does. They both appear as such a good friends on and off the screen and that makes their conversation delightfully engrossing! Much love to both Mr. Thapar and Dr. Tharoor, you shape our brains!
What an absolute pleasure listening to this though I have heard some of the stories in earlier talks it’s always music to ears listening to Dr. Shashi Tharoor and witty Karan Thapar!! Great destressor
Watching it from Bangladesh. In the recent times, while many media outlets made me worried, The Wire, on the other hand, increased my hopes. Amazing conversation! Best wishes!
Mr. Tharoor and Mr. Thapar both belong to another league altogether. One can spend an entire Sunday afternoon listening to these gentleman chat. Thank you Mr. Thapar for this.
When ever Shashi speaks i tend to smile feeling lost in admiration, also realising my limitation being a drop out hardly grasping 10% of what he actually mean. But i just adore him. Also karan is another person i admire and respect a lot.
We, the listeners, can use more such playful yet immersive conversations, when all we are exposed to are noises from traditional media houses. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Simply sheer pleasure to listen to these two gentlemen. I want to support and wish and pray you continue your wonderful work forever, Karan. Let me try again.
I can only envy you, completely awestruck. It’s aleays delightful to to watch two English stalwarts Both of you shall remain my favourites for all the time
The treasure of words u have got haven't changed or helped the world whereas people who have got fewer words have made slogans of their words and impressed the world with them. So only words with which u can change the world and it's thinking matter ❤# shashitharoor# karanthaper
Shashi Tharoor should be our foreign or Education minister. Both he will do excellent job. If he is our PM he will increase respect for India in the world.

Jai Hind sir. Decent analysis on english language between India and America or Britain. Language differs in accent and in words accordingly that can be seen in each and every nation.
Loved every bit, every second of this interview. I wish I could use some spponerism to describe how delightful it was lsitening to both of these gentelmen.
What a delightful conversation between these two wordsmiths!
Make Shashi Tharoor the Education Minister. We all should speak like him. Wow! What beautiful words.
Mk him pm
In fact he is Prime Minister material. A la Mr Manmohan Singh, good PM but a long shot from politician.
He should be external affairs minister!
We should make him PM of India
It would b very happy for everyone if he becomes the pm
He was minister of state for Education. What did he actually do?
Thank you Mr KaranThapar and Mr Shashi Tharoor.
Have not only enjoyed your conversation, but have enriched my vocabulary.

🎶🎶🎶...Words attracts Shashi Tharoor, as Honey attracts Bee...❤
Thanks Mr. Karan for enabling my favorite public figure speak to us. Have always enjoyed just listening to Mr Tharoor speak.
My father's English and vocabulary was so, so vast that when he wrote a letter to someone they didn't understand word of it. Even we children had to refer to Dictionary again and again.😊
Now Britishers learn English from Sashi Tharoor ❤
Karan Thaper has a strong sense of engaging a renowned person with a strong homework,Kudos to Karan Thaparji
What an entertaining interview, full of fun and humour,!!
It is refreshing to see and listen to something light-hearted and entertaining during the current period of extreme stress and strife.
What a delight to watch two brilliant Indian gentlemen. Very proud of them.
Cheers
Jai Hind
I read the book recently and strongly recommended to my students and friends.Your interview is equally important and superb .Thanks
Loved the idea of Rain that grows the Grass, not Thunder!
Rumi quotes are always a pleasure to hear
Pleasure listening to distinguished, highly articulate two intellectuals of the country .
Illuminating discourse
It's so calm to hear Shashi Tharoor Ji such a nice and gentle speaker
Indeed a great interview, how the quality of being an inherent dialectic, supported by Shri Shashi Tharoor as indianism is great patriotism

Imagine being in a conversation with these two.. I'd probably just keep nodding my head and saying yes yes, without understanding a single word..
What a beautiful interview. I must say that nobody has interviewed Dr. Tharoor like Mr. Thapar does. They both appear as such a good friends on and off the screen and that makes their conversation delightfully engrossing! Much love to both Mr. Thapar and Dr. Tharoor, you shape our brains!

Thanks
Tharoor the Britannica Encyclopaedia of India. A learnered man. Nice analysis.
An absolute aural delight! 'Not raise your voice but the quality of your words' Words can be so impactful. Love the way the interview was conducted ❤
Mr. Tharoor has got to be Karan's favourite guest. I have never quite seen such frequent smiles and laughters fin any of his interviews, EVER.
Watching it from Bangladesh. In the recent times, while many media outlets made me worried, The Wire, on the other hand, increased my hopes. Amazing conversation! Best wishes!
A pleasure & a privilege to watch this duel of wits & words. Truly, Mr Tharoor is the new benchmark.

After a long while, learned something from such a profound interview! Rare opportunity nowadays!
❤️
When ever Shashi speaks i tend to smile feeling lost in admiration, also realising my limitation being a drop out hardly grasping 10% of what he actually mean. But i just adore him.
Also karan is another person i admire and respect a lot.
It rains when unspoken is said in familiar words. A thunder breaks when anything is expressed in rare, uncommon phrases.
This interview has something that most interviews do not have these days...peace that is
The one and only Dr Shashi Tharoor ♥️
Discipline Is The Bridge Between Goals And Accomplishments.❤🎉❤🎉
It was delightful to listen to you, Shashi & Karan.. Thank you!

I wish dr. Tharoor is a university professor. How wonderful it would b to attend his class! I can't imagine😄
Shashi Tharoor should be our foreign or Education minister. Both he will do excellent job. If he is our PM he will increase respect for India in the world.
Sometimes one misses the magazine "Readers Digest" of one's school days, listening to such conversations.
Mr. Tharoor's speech is a real treat for English lovers. I am flabbergasted while listening to him.
Absolutely delightful!
V enjoyable interview . Being a wordsmith , will dive into the book 😊
i really admire Shashi Tharoor from North east Nagas.
