India, our country is about numbers, a lot of numbers. And currently, our respected netas are crunching a hell lot of numbers(their entire life depends on numbers) to decide what may be the possible collage at the center. Yes, a collage. Not a party, nor a few parties, but an entire brigade of wannabes hounding a big brother to find something to nibble at, something to be called a 'government'. As Adiga the writer says in his recent booker winning novel, 'what a ....... joke'.

We, the people, have managed to create a really long list of political parties, and a further long list of 'winners', who would now be able to have a go at the center of power in the Indian democracy. Democrazy, anyone? So, you voted for the secular forces, huh? Do not worry, a plethora of forces will find your voice at the center very soon. You can watch the comedy show in a month's time, when they do decide on the 'government' and start the 'process' of parliamentary debate. Now, the picture has emerged from the ballot box, UPA it is, your choice! UnderconstructionParliamentary Affairs, shall become United Parliamentary Alliance once again, your own government! Dr Manmohan Singh and his mentor have decided enough is enough with the left. Hence left is left out this time, some others will get their chance. The biggest setback in this recent election has been for the left parties. They messed with the stability at the center on the pretext of no faith in the nuclear treaty.And then, mishandled the situation at Singur and Nandigram, allowing a certain Ms Banerjee to flee with the votes. Good on them. Such irresponsible behaviour should not be tolerated for a national level party. But then its about the numbers na! Who do you omit to include????? that's the question.
Hence we shall have analysis upon analysis on the 24*7 news channels as to the final outcome. Until what comes out come finally! We can be led by anybody. Just about anybody. Ministries have been allotted to the goons from the cow belt and the ex convicts from coconut yards . Lets hope this time too they find the 'competent' candidates. Half the government has already rolled out by the time this post got to your desktop. Efficient people at the centre!
One over the top lady is screaming 'preshident rool' for her state from one corner of our country. Signs of the times to come. Well, we may have some rule or the other definitely. Only 'governance' you cannot demand, or get for that matter. That my dear friend is some thing the ballot they so dearly coaxed you to 'jaago re up to' never promises. 'Aap vote nahi kar rahe hain toh so rahe hain', right. 'ParKya Aap vote karke ro rahe hain?'
