Elections, Politics in India

Unpredictable – but don’t be nervous!

When the Assembly or Parliamentary elections are round the corner, the air is thick with claims or criticisms. Promises have to be made carefully or within the permitted level but the voters, these days, are well aware of the consequences of voting for the ruling party or the limits of the major opposition parties. The ruling party’s heavy-spending during the five year rule would force the opposition parties to come out with some excuses much to the disappointment of the people.

In view of these uncertainties, one has to depend on Exit polls or some such practices to predict the victory or failure of the major parties.

As such, let us not worry about the out come, for there are so many interesting and heart warming articles which appear in some major News papers. Let us enjoy reading them !

First things first. I am one of those retired chaps who are young at heart. I watch cricket matches and jump for joy when Tendulkar scores yet another century. I read newspapers and books too, though I am not crazy about them. I think I have a mind free from hatred and I owe it to the wonders of nature and music. I scribble something now and then and call myself a writer! Though I have settled in Ooty, a lovely hill station in Tamil Nadu—I must emphasize the fact that I was born and brought up in Tellicherry in North Kerala and studied in the good old Government Brennen College. Of and on, my mind goes back to my ancestral house at Tiruvangad in Tellicherry in front of an ancient Sri Ram temple. I am indebted to this wonderful place which inculcated in me a love for cricket and literature. But all said and done, I am an Indian first.

  1. I’d like to believe that politics is nothing more than a circus act, except that in the latter there is some form of courage one requires and glory one can attain, no matter however small that may be. But, as you said, it is quite enjoyable to read a plethora of claims, counter claims and objects in the newspapers, most of them reporting with fervent passion about that what is to come!
