The Great Tamasha Begins Now !!!

The election in so called "biggest democracy in the world" got over today (technically yesterday in India) and we are due for the results by end of this week.

So, as per tradition, media moguls are now doing 2 plus 2 equals four, and putting together the so called "exit poll surveys" - while hoping to catch some more TRPs and eyeballs in process.

The results so far shows chaos ahead with no-one getting clear majority and looks like we will be served same old junk politics that we are living up with last 10 years, and which we painfully and sadfully are getting used to now.

This is certainly depressing!
It is like coming back home after hard day at work and seeing chaos, but can do nothing ...
Think about it ... you and I ("my fellow citizens") are doing "our work" with honesty and sincerety... right? .. then why those having the reigns of system cannot do their work and fix the system and make it the way it is supposed to be .... (maybe we are not doing our part, the poor percentage of voting shows that too ... maybe it needs more from our part than grunting over it from sidelines)

How I wish if we can just have a stable, non partial and good government at center?
How I wish if there is no more so called coalition government anymore?
How I wish if the coming government knows what is priority and what is not?
How I wish if no-one can blackmail my government anymore on what to do and what not to do?
How I wish if there is such a leader (person) at center - which whole country can look upto and want to follow! (in present scenario, i think Manmohan Singh is the best we have ... but still I feel we can have better leadership from 1 Billion people to choose from ... I hate to compare things, but we do need someone like obama who is good thinker+leader+communicator etc)
How I wish if this chaos doesnt result in some bigger losses. (like loosing opportunities for economic development ... or like loosing much needed energy reforms like the nuclear deal which left and even BJP wants to scrap if they come in power ... which is scary)

These are the very simple things a citizen like me can ask for ... to the so called "the biggest democracy" of the world?
But then I remember the quote - ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Hmpphs!

PS - as a closing note, I feel UPA (congress) will have good majority, and it will be less chaotic than last time... and congress will be in a better position to rule. (I am thinking 230 seats for UPA, plus 30 support from outside) .... let's see if my prediction comes close to the real thing on saturday/sunday.
