That’s the statement made very interestingly by a journalist attending a press conference, while P Chidambaram was speaking.

The journalist, as seen in a CNN-IBN video here, missed the Home Minister by less than 2 inches when he threw his shoe at Chidambaram. PC was, in his typical calm and suave way, asking the journo to shut up and not pursue a thread of conversation, when the fuse blew and the shoe flew.

Blogosphere, as usual is abuzz with this !

One of the blogs that stood out for sheer value add to the extremely amazing incident that has left fodder for the entire news grapevine to takeup and start buzzing is Monologue of a Nomad

With this incident, PC joins the exalted list of leaders who have had shoes thrown at them, including Ex-Prez George Bush. Loved the way PC conducted himself post the event though.

Would love to meet Jarnail Singh of Dainik Jagran (as reported here) to understand why he blew his fuse, and why this particular action, instead of a walk out, or whatever.

Who say’s life’s not happening, guys?
