With renewed faith and hope........

I never have had any illusions about revolutions neither have i ever had any respect for such foolishness, for revolutions have always been a result of a bunch of kindered souls not necessarily enlightened, it takes not more than a promise of bread and honor to win there trust, a wise man with eloquence and a little respect for his fellow beings will always be successful in initiating a revolution.
But with neither eloquence nor an intriguing personality and not even being a communist Anna hazare might actually get his name etched in history, his fasting was not out of suppression but of pure frustration about the current system which was set off with appointment of Sharad pawar as head of a body for anti corruption; another sick joke congress played on Indian citizens.
No wonder Congress wants blood now, having nothing to complain on the fair requests the game of defaming starts with sudden releases of videos and old files hitting the media.
another curious factor is the distance BJP and other parties trying to maintain from anna hazare and no opposition party has still openly supported the movement as they all are very well aware if one goes down their turn to go down is round the corner. When winning the polls only requires honesty and clean hands i wonder why no political party is ready to employ such an easy strategy.
Amidst all the scandals of spectrum, commonwealth and s-band, There could never be a better timing for an independent body for anti corruption with sky high powers.
Anna hazare may not be a hero, but he has done what everyone of us were itching to do when the need presence itself which usually never happens and thats why people stand behind him in masses.
The only blockade for the bill now is the parliament and i have a serious doubt if the lok pal bill will survive but from now on before planning a loot, any politician will think twice, that's where a new beginning dawns.
It is indeed a historic moment.

Tactical show down....

Its the convenience of Democracy that fancy gimmicks and a few lies can win the polls, and of course one can't deny the involvement of voter's forgiveness and amnesia and the lack of choices.
Indian voters are usually blessed with two options, one being a corrupted party and another being most corrupted, dictating us to go for the less harmful one.
But our rulers never fail to reach new lows, what DMK invented during last elections, a strategy based on bribery but polished on the top to make it look like development schemes is a new record depth. when a party promises televisions and grinders for free another party promises everything for free, is there any less depth they can sink to.
what is on the store for us is a hopeless country with people surviving on freebies with their only duty is to vote every five years and all that is left for the few of us who have some sense is The frustration of not having any other options and The nostalgia of the past when leaders molded an economy out of nothing.

They've opened a Pandora's box, what follows is a chaos of mixies, grinders, goats, fans and a lot more.
