And so it ends....... mark of a new begining

As I said in a previous post, this would be a different elections, so was proved by the results. The Janta is not as dumb as it seems. Some of the good decisions:

1) In UP al the Criminals lost the elections, some of them to name: Akshay Pratp Singh, Mukhtar Ansari, Atiq Ahmed, Akbar Ahmed Dumpy
2) Mayawati's Dream of becoming the prime minister was shattered by 21 seats in the state where she is in majority in the Vidhan Sabha elections
3) Good bye to "Laal Salaam"
4) States like Kerala and West Bengal are in the process of giving a com[plete "U" turn to their political leadership, with the left parties losing pathetically.
5) Lalu will no longer Bark in the center
6) The Janta has told it clearly that the regional parties are truly regional and they should stick to making the roads and naalas and dare not eye the prime minister's chair
7) Amma finally cried "Amma" in Tamil Nadu, and not a word after the elections!
8) I think Karnataka's results have been disappointing, with places like Mangalore voting for BJP


I think this was a very important elections in the Indian politics. And definitely a welcome government at the center!

Bus Ride

So the latest is my Car met with an accident, and now it is in the Body repai shop for the reapir work. And the bad part is that it will be there for about 30-40 days :(

I explored the option of Public transport today, and Bangalore has some really cool Volvo buses. I liked my ride today in the Bus, would be trying it out in the coming days as well, and for the days when I wont be able to catch the Bus I have my cycle! Lets get some carbon credits to my name!

Change is here.....

This is a different general elections. Sothing new is happening which I havent seen ever, the people for whom the voting day was just another holiday are taking the pains of getting their names included in the voter roles. I have three examples in my office, Software Engineers, used to sitting in nice cool AC offices, took Monday off and stood in a queue for approximately 3 hours to get their names included in the voter list.

This is definitely comendable. On Saturday me and Prateek also went to the Bommanhalli Revenue office and submitted our forms, I am not sure what would be the voter turnout this year, but I guess people are frustrated with the repeated terrorist attacks, Neta not doing anything, huge tax payer's money being used for changing curtains in Neta (like Mayawati's) house. Its high time we turn to our responsibilities.

Go out and vote, its not that tough, believe me. Just spare exactly 10 min to read the instructions on www.jaagore.com and you will end up realizing that it wont take much of your time.

Remember:
NO VOTE, NO SAY

Elections, Hatred, communal forces and Journalism

Varun Gandhi's hate speech was unfortunate, a person contesting MP's election should be a little more dignified. Varun is an educated Indian and should have shown more respect towards the other communities.

Good work CNN-IBN, you have highlighted this, now can we get back to serious reporting again ? News itesms like these are baseless, who is priyanka Gandhi ? is she a candidate in the coming elections ? Does she hold any office in the present government ? Then why place this news as the breaking news ?

There are much bigger issues to be covered and focussed on.... Lets get back to work Mr Sardesai
