After putting in his papers, the now ex-Minister of State for External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor was contacted by Pagal Patrakar of www.FakingNews.com - leading news satire website of India. Pagal Patrakar offered Tharoor the post of a full time columnist on his website - FakingNews.com which Tharoor gladly accepted. Sources say that Patrakar has already paid Tharoor a joining bonus of Rs.0.0 only, and he’ll have a basic of Rs. 0.0 only + incentives upto Rs. 0.0 only, the standard payment for any online writer. Tharoor was delighted with this offer and he says things are finally going his way.

A fat man who had nothing better to do overheard Tharoor saying, “The online world is nice to me. People usually have a problem with me in the offline world. So it’s about time I took an online job. Also, I used to constantly get e-mails with the probing subject line – ‘Shashi, are you sure you are in the right job?’ Being a part of the government, it was a tough question to answer but now I can confidently say, I am sure I’m in the right job.”

Patrakar was all smiles about the deal. He said, “Tharoor will be a great addition to my site. Tharoor was able to achieve around 724,587 followers with just 140 characters. Imagine what he could do with 300-400 word articles! Tharoor has been breaking news, it’s about time he started faking news.”
