Peace returns to the house!

I am not a fan of the Congress Party! Aah....that feels better...that off my chest. There is a very vile, ugly feeling for that party, but i am going to try and be objective here. What does it mean now that the Congress is the single largest party in the parliament. 

One word...the most important one at this point in time - Stability. Now that we have the leaders the powers to be ...back into the house...peace shall prevail. 

Now let us look at the possible alternatives... - Behenji! I am enjoying the one tight sleep that she has got post the verdict. Wow, she wanted to be the Prime Minister of this country...well if 20 seats can make somebody a Prime Minister...then there is something terribly wrong with our system. That of course has not happened - lets look at another dude who wanted to be the Supremo - Pawarsaheb, ego on this man, he could have played it cool, he could have had his jive post the results, now i doubt if he can even command a simple position in the cabinet. He has 9 seats....hahahahahahahah.....9 seats. Really??? that commands what???? Nitish Kumar - i am going to withhold any judgement about the man from Bihar...that is because, in Indian politics anything can happen. 

Lalkrishna Advani - The Octaganerian, he is a leader, my leader, he can lead me any day...but he cannot lead this country. This is what we knew right from the start, there was nobody from BJP who could be an alternative. Quite frankly BJP has to build its case, they have to make an attempt to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Well, thats for 2014. Bottomline, BJP wasn't the one to go with this year. [the candidate i voted for lost, but i still think my vote counted]

Today, we have one party, an intelligent party albeit a scourge that is at the helm of affairs. Why not i say? a known bastard is better than a sneaky one. I am going to be allowed to study English...that is quite important. I hear Montek is going to take over the Finance Ministry, that is a happy thought. 

Last word - Rahul Gandhi - Prince of India, i wish him the best of luck, there are a lot of expectations from him. If he lives up to 20% of what he claims he will do....i would be quite pleased. 

Our civilization is stepping into a new phase, one where political squabbles and useless issues do not have any place. Incumbency is not a rule, its just a factor, elections are won purely on merit (LOL) and Stability is key. 

Democracy rules.....you have been given the chance to continue Congress...do not under any circumstances FUCK IT UP!!!!

PEACE!

Everybody is putting in their two pence in the wishing well, dropping honest word about the general elections, i simply will not be left out. This is the time for us to sit back and collect our thoughts, we are going to be the part of a democratic process. Government of the people, for the people by the people. Very powerful statement that. 

Most educated people choose to ensure that they do not vote. It is a time honoured cliche to say - What difference man?! I say fuck the difference, every vote counts! Just as i utter those words i feel embarassed, this is because my statement is as much a cliche itself. 

So i say i don't care if it makes a difference or not, whether my vote counts in the 'democratic process' , it is my fair share. I am entitled to my vote. Whenever i think of the vote i think of it as a gift, given to me (to us) by our elders, our forefathers. The people who stood up and asked for democracy, nay who fought for it. Not voting is like spitting on their efforts, their fight, their valour - they bled for this most basic right - Right to Universal Adult Franchise.

Come 30th April 2009 - i ask every Mumbaikar to cast his/her vote. Be proud of our democracy, which was fought with sheer sweat and guts. Signify their blood spilt on our streets as a blot on your finger - GO OUT AND TAKE WHAT'S YOURS - THE VOTE
