Here it goes the end of the marathon Indian elections, a new government ready to be sworn in and the dawn of some new faces ready to sell India right upto her bones , congratulations to you on selecting the new set of suckers. And congratulations to Indian Congress, some filthy rich politicians are just going to get filthier. Now that’s nothing new we all are already ready for it and half of us don’t give a damn as to who is at the helm of affairs at the world largest democracy. But like all humans there is always a silver lining of hope an I am one amongst the million who call India their home.
Well I still have not made up my mind which political outfit will screw up India less but I am certainly happy about the fact that a single political part will run a government for the next 5 years and political stability will prevail. And the best part, they will not have to go through a litmus test ‘vote of confidence’ in the parliament just in case though totally out of intention they plan to do something good for the country.
Well all said and done, the only reason election tilted Congress way is the hope to have a single party ruling the nation making there decision making more easier and also the gleam of hope from the new breed of young politicians beings groomed likes of Rahul Gandhi, Scindia, Pilot to name a few . Which has been clearly missing with the second biggest party i.e BJP. True that a government or running a government is all about team work but when it comes to getting a vote it is always in the name of a leader ex Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Barack Obama, (how many American are aware that his core team has a high concentration of Indians like of Sonal Shah and others and I am sure they will not be pleased to hear about it). A surprising fact I will like to share Indian population is one of the youngest in the world but has the one of the oldest parliament in terms of average age.
Let hope this so called wave of change claimed by the Congress is a new beginning of an efficient government working towards the betterment of India Amen!!

'Practise makes a man perfect, but doing the same thing 1000 times bugs me!!!
Right from my childhood I have been taught the importance of hard work a famous verse in Sanskrit summons it best "करत करत अभ्यास के, जड़मति होत सुजान रसरी आवत जात ते, सिल पर परत निसान" the approx meaning is " Persistence can change a thick brained fool to an intelligent person,even a soft rope leaves a mark on a stone when rubbed continuously". Surely one of the most widely used statements to signify the virtue of persistence. To start with I am not questioning the wisdom of the person who wrote it but will certainly like to put across the point of the unrealistic comparison between a living organism to a non-living object.
True the rope left its mark on the rock but was that the purpose of it??? would someone use it if to sculpture the rock??? the answer is NO!!! moreover the dynamics with respect to a human beings in terms of work are way different. Making a human do things again and again in order to perfect an art without giving due consideration to his human values makes him get treated more like inhuman/machines, which at the end of the day are channels for revenue generation. What about there emotions, aspirations and every thing that makes him human.
Or can't the people get a more simpler inference "the person is at the wrong job!!" if he has to do a thing a zillionth times to get things right, it is simply the incorrect allocation of work.... can a driver be a good cook, can a physics scholar teach chemistry (off course they can learn it over a period of time but whats the point, it is better to let them do the work they like or what they are best at) cause at he end of the day we all are trying to get things done in an efficient way. Working within your limitation, stressing on your strength is intelligence rather than trying something which could be out of reach. Don't get me wrong I do not mean one should not go for goals that makes you stretch your limitation after all that how one grows but at the end of the day one should stretch on the flexible side rather than stretching the rigid qualities of one's persona.
Lets not make people do what they don't like, making them feel wasted, unwanted which leaves them tired, bored and frustrated. Instead make them do what they like, cause at he end of the day a man never excelled without loving what he does!!!
