Lots of people, lots of personalities – and some very random thoughts :
- Did anyone do a dimple share analysis. I wonder how many youth votes got converted by Rahul & Priyanka’s dimples
- Can Modi’s speeches attract entertainment tax – he is possilby one of the best orators – if you like the equivalent of a Head Prefect in a school debate, score points.
- Was there a shoe lash vote?
- Is the difference between Rahul and Varun, the difference between Sonia and Maneka ?
- Should we all buy shares in TV set manufacturing companies – given that it swung TN to the DMK ?
- Has the South Mumbai chaterati realised that outrage is not a substitute for involvement. Get off your collective butts and do something. shooting your mouth off in a TV studio is not action, it is hot air.
- Do Pranay and Barkha own shares in the Congress Party – why were they behaving as though they won. Distance, sweeties, Distance.
- If the CPI(M) does not believe in resignations – does it mean that their inept leaders will turn up in a gunny bag somewhere – in lots of pieces ?
- Will Advani actually turn up on the first day of Parliament and face MMS on the other side – especially after those terrible personal attacks ?
- Will Lallo be the speaker ? it will be good fun to see him control the House
Dekthe rahiye, the Dance of Democracy – only on Parliament TV

… will the Right do what is right ? Rajya Dharma or Rajniti Dharma — i wonder which the BJP will follow on the nuclear deal ?
What the withdrawal of support by the Left has proven is that ‘Secularism’ – in the absence of other common ideals and principles – is not a good enough basis for a political alliance. Anymore than ‘socialism’ or ‘democracy’ or ‘hope’ or even ‘love’ is.
The UPA government began its term with Sonia Gandhi ‘renouncing’ power in National Interest. It seems like it may end its term with the Party renouncing power to defend a deal that they believe is in National Interest.
I am for one glad that the Congress Party has taken a stand. I am glad that the stand is in favour of the deal. I am glad that they had the courage to tell the Left to take a walk. I am glad that there is someone there trying to do the best as far as the Indian people are concerned.
Today, while the PM is at the G8 Summit – he may reflect on Nietzsche
Out of Life’s school of war, what does not destroy me, makes me stronger
He may also glance at a shloka from the Bhagvad Gita (ch.2, 14)
Thy right is to work only; but never to the fruits thereof. Be thou not the producer of the fruits of (thy) actions; neither let thy attachment be towards inaction
As I asked at the begining — will the BJP do what is right, or is it going to play politics with the long term energy security of the people of India ? It will be an interesting fortnight in politics.
