dance of democracy...

   "The sena reign continues" say the headline today,Shiv Sena won the BMC elections yet again,some say its good some say its bad, but everybody has got an option, i can hear my dad arguing with somebody over the phone.My maid says that the corporator who won this year should not have one,I asked why and she replied in a very concerned tone "he is in this for money,he will do nothing for the people". Its good to have opinions and i am happy that my 2ND grade fail maid is so concerned about the development of the city, but what we dont understand is that elections in india is like a IPL cricket match, everybody roots for a certain party and want them to win but it has nothing to with the actual governing of the city.Its gives you the trill like a cricket match and if your team wins you get to say "i told you so" to others and if the party you are rooting for looses you always have the all time Favorite dialog "kya hoga iss desh ka", i dont know whats going to happen to this country.  

          Every candidate says that he is going to get us water, electricity good roads etc,but nobody says how.What i dont understand is that if it was so easy why havent they done it before what were they waiting for, and how will they all get us water and electricity when there is shortage of them in the country? do they have a magic wand? how do we know that one candidate is better than the other, how do we know he is not corrupt,they is no answer for these questions cause nobody has asked them yet.
            
          Some have one and some have lost but everybody has had their share of fun, it was a good game.

When the largest democracy of the world dances, every body gets a piece of the flesh !...
