It has become a short of fashion for writers to write on controversial issues to give their books a colour of reality. Whether it is "Reluctant Fundamentalist "by Mohsin Hamid, "The Case of Explosive Mangoes "by Mohammad Hanif, "Goodbye Shahzadi "by Shyam Bhatia or "The Way of the World" by Ron Suskind Ron Suskind in his book says that President Musharraf told BB on phone that her security depended on her attitude with him. Shyam Bhatia in his book claimed that BB herself told him that she played a role in transportation of nukes to North Korea. The former is not a biography the latter is a biography. Writers adopt certain techniques to sell their books like hot cakes. TV channels should avoid making mountain of mole hills. It were journalists like Ron who wrote that Iraq was the storehouse of Weapons of Mass Destruction and caused the US to invade Iraq where WMD did not exist. So, my dear anchors and casters books cannot be taken as evidence neither can telephone taping be of any use.
