IS THE ELECTION NOTHING BUT A SCAM????????

It takes a literate around 2 hours to find his name in the electoral rolls.....an illiterate does that in less than 10 minutes.....know where he needs to go to vote, find his name in the electoral rolls, cast his precious vote & be done in less than half an hour..........whose democracy is this???? what kind of oppression are we talking about??? the only oppressed iS the Middle class that comes out in numbers to exercise their adult franchise ( of course after NGOs, Corporates & Election watchdogs spend crores & crores in advertising & create awareness) & am sure go back home a disillusioned lot......

The Election Commission & the GOI has a lot of work cut out for them.......we should have regular or crash courses in voting & election hoopla.....specially for the Indian middle class.......

As for the question....did i vote....sorry missed out the registrations deadline in my city.....now you know if my favourite candidate loses by 1 vote....i would be the culprit......so my appeal to all...PLEASE VOTE THIS TIME & ALL THE TIMES TO COME....

THE REAL INDIAN ECONOMY

A stark contrast to the last general elections in 2004, Election 09 lacks the punch, the issues, the guidance. This election's pace & issues had been decided long back, if i may say in Oct 08, when the global downturn started showing its true colours. The'Aam Admin Ke Saath' pitch ( or branding strategy) began to die & the reality began to show us its ugly , yet true side. And yet the government of the day choose to ignore it. With Biggies like , Monty, Pc & the good ol' Doctor himself, we still don't see this downturn affecting us.. I would request all the folks who say that the mood on the streets is calm to go around & see for themselves, rather than their cronies giving them Second hand reports.

Today's Young India is a confident lot, in some cases like the MBA colleges i am trying to pitch for, over confident. Students are still dreaming about paychecks of Half million & upward salaries. Still the market is not in a mood to oblige. Many B- schools have got a placement percentage that is less than 50% of the last year . Most have still got almost 50-80% of the batch to be placed. What kind of progress are we talking about.

Spoke to an analyst at a big I-Bank. The mood there was also negative in nature. He did not even shy away from saying that the share market will see 20K plus only in 2015.

And what kind of progress are we talking about.

GDP numbers in the range of 8-9.5 % have slipped to 6.5-7% and still expected to fall below 6%, what kind of progress are we talking about.

*Please note that the author is no economics doctorate, but then one doen't need to be a Doctorate to see the signs on the street.

THE PROCESS HAS STARTED.....

In one of my earlier posts, i have written that the nation's memory is very short lived......n yes we have started forgetting........

There were 2 hoarding near the RSI Club & MG Road that carried the pictures of Shaheed Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan & Shaheed Havildar Gajendra Singh......Whenever i crossed these hoarding my eyes would automatically turn moist.........now these hoardings are gone.......i feel a part of us has forgotten another part...the part that saves us on a daily basis......

They Die so that we can Live.......

They stay awake, so that we can sleep peacefully.....

n what do we give them in return.......

Short memory syndrome.......Insult Syndrome.........

Shame on Us!!!!!
