.. So another great Indian Election came to an end…

Well I was glued to my TV set the whole day, not that I am not on other Saturdays… But at least today I had a good excuse for not changing to One of my daughter’s favourite “Disney Channel”… It was left up to my wife to keep her engaged.. while I could use the remote ..

As it turned out.. UPA is back in Power with Dr Manmohan as PM. As per the news channels, UPA had a clean sweep and this was historic as for the first time an “outsider” [not belonging to Nehru Gandhi clan] was going to become PM twice.. I didn’t know how to react to this.. Happy or am I jus a bit too critical.

Is it really a democratic win when the party which got the mandate is the poorest example of having democracy in its own cadres…

Well ..while my thoughts were still wandering around these ‘intellectual’ [pun intended] thoughts, my wife went gung ho in praise of young Rahul. She remembered his case study on Mrs. Kalawati and his suave mannerisms.. :)

Well I was compelled to analyse it again this time trying to rationalise if it was Rahul’s charisma as a politician or just as a person which clicked and influenced the choice of Indian youth …
