Jai Obama Jai Maharashtra

Here is the thing about this whole Obama victory...the enthusiasm has already died for me! I fear that people believe that electing him will produce a magical cure for all their problems...I hope they believe him when he reminds them that the arduous journey has just begun. As a non-American, I applaud that they finally got the courage to pick an African-American man ( still, not a woman) to lead them. But as a non-American, I also hope he will not overlook the other smaller countries, where he has to play the role of the 'Big Brother'. I hope he puts peace and trust before war and suspicion. I hope he urges the people to not forget yesterday's big story of the violence in Congo DR.. I hope he reminds tomorrow morning that the news channels needn't profile his kids' new dog, his wife's dress tonight, his aunt's immigration status...but asks them to look at those bigger problems that will not disappear overnight.

Mr. Obama ...a whole world looks on to you for change, not just USA.

And since this seems to be the flavor of the season...Jai Maharashtra!!
