We, the Citizens of world's largest democracy have elected our leaders for the 15th time !! At least, we can show off to the world by forcing these lines. Slightly more than half of us did not turn to vote, is just a statistics!!
There is an old joke : If pro is opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress? Still, (less than half)Indians did not dare take chances. One of the media-dear word "anti-incumbancy" did not show up ! Citizens (less than half, please remember)of India preferred to err on safer side. (Not taking any chance is habit in current economic crisis). Another good thing that happened is all the exit polls were proved false amd many "experts" were exposed, hushhh.. at least no tv channel can now hammer us with how accurate it's predictions were and how it alone can catch India's nerve.
Also, many icons will now be sitting at home, our beloved lalu, for example.And "Rahul baba" (as Shobhaa De put it) is in form.We are now sure to see more of him.(Hopefully, at personal level too!).
This time the government looks more stable with many hurdles "left" out! Whether it should not have been Congress is a different story, the best thing about the results is that a single party( with fewest pets) is going to be in power! Hopefully, that would make decision making easier at the government level. (who will take decisions, is open secret !!!).
Confession: I did not vote. (Actually , i wanted to, but I was not authorized to vote in Pune.By the next election, I don't know where I will be!! Is there any solution to this?)
Pessimism never won any battle. Like we are hopeful admist current economic crisis,let's hope for India Shining!
Though, nothing much will really change by this so called historical victory.
I loved this joke:
Mr. Singh, you're quite a charmer,
Looks like india has good karma,
This is better than obama !
Sorry, but you're gonna say "karma" with american accent [:p]
Silly Points :1: Because of elections and for the fact that IPL is moved out of India,no one cheers for cheerleaders !
2: Knight Riders are having nightmares. The owner, the coach and captain(s !!) scored only outside the ground. For them its now "Radalo, Haralo, Chalalo Re" (in Marathi) rather than "Korbo Lorbo Jitbo Re"(in Bengali) [:p]
Shahrukh, tu sprite pi !!!

May I say that this was an excellent effort to allude to the point that many of the corrupt politicians will be sitting home. Solidly compiled blog with a bit pompous words placed immaculately(Not like me, in an extremely deliberate manner). Hope to see more of your skin in blogging. Keep writing.
