Confusions confusion...That's seem to be the trend these days.

The entire nation is not sure if they did the right thing by voting for a party, which has a legacy of some big names (for right and wrong reasons), and right now being headed by a foreigner. Everyone is skeptic about having a foreigner as a Prime Minister.

This is the talk of town, or do we say universe? Every office, nook and corner of the country is abuzz with election postmortem. How could this happen. A few interesting pieces which I came across.

Washington post, talks about The Upset in India. The editorial praises the Vajpayee government for their bold steps towards testing nuclear bombs, improving relationship with Pakistan and other nations. Describing the Gandhian hold over the country, they editor goes on to say the US-India relationship will suffer becoz of the new government.

The Gaurdian carries a interesting write by Ms. Arundhati Roy(remember her???), she says, Let us hope the darkness has passed . Ms Roy is surely not a supporter of the Left parties, she lashes the left parties for their overtly (but ineffectively) critical reforms, which has lead to their debacle. But as we celebrate, she also points out that the Cong and BJP don't have major differences over every major issue the country is facing. To quote her "We know the legacy of the Congress led us to the horror of the BJP. Still, we celebrate because surely a darkness has passed."

Our very own The Hindu, analyzes The meaning of the Verdict of 2004. The editor says "Without losing their head in any way, refusing to be fooled by grandiose slogans, keeping their eye on issues that matter ? above all, livelihood and national unity ? more than 350 million of them who turned out to vote have produced a big upset." They say that this is the first election after 1977 when the entire prediction have gone for a toss. Shows that the electorate is getting matured over the day (or do we say irresponsible?).

At one end of the globe people have given their verdict, not very far from us, condemnable activity has taken place in Iraq. Do we point this out to the drudgery of modern technology? Impact of this is very nicely discused in this blog

Is the future going to be good or bad, only time will tell.

Amidst all this I am also facing quite some confusions. 3 close friends are getting married all through the weekend, One in bangalore, one in chennai and one in Mysore. Each of them as special as special can be. How dI i attend all of them? Bangalore is no problem since its on Friday, but what about my dear city and Amma's city? A no will be the worst thinI i can do to them on their special day. Oh God, rasta dikha please!!!!

Eitherways, have a good weekend fella's, feels nice to make a long post after long :)
