Elections started in India yesterday.
Lots of candidates and an enormous country exercising its right to franchise.
Do we really care what is going on in our country, I feel at times. Are we really patriotic enough towards our country or just limited to the discussions ( in offices and homes ) , once the political fever reaches its high and you can see pamphlets and political leaders everywhere, the same ones whom you never knew even existed. I wonder whether its even worth writing bout this, but this thought suddenly hits me at times like a bolt from the blue.

One friend of mine ( working in Microsoft ) used to tell me that they ask very tough problems to candidates in job interviews. But he says the toughest question is never asked ? How to manage India ? Sounds absurd to you, you may say , what a question this is ...

but do have a thought about it .....hmm..

doesnt it feel good when India won the t20 world cup, when our country achieves somethings which we are all proud of..the feeling of being elated. .. unfortunately we are ready to enjoy when its "all shining " and not during the other times..maybe it characterizes everything.
Reading today's times of India, 1st page...it was a pretty ironoc statement : The urban might is not interested to vote , they will be saying "We are having a nice life , thank you...and I have some better things to do "

The question is can this change ? Are we really passionate about certain things ! ! or is it just me , myself and that is all as have ! ! !
