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!!

Imagine if Condoleeza Rice had run for president and won. That would be something. African American and a woman.
That would be something...and I actually like Rice
Aah, i am going to link this to the post.
Rice would have been a great candidate.
And yes, Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra!
she would have been republican? or maybe she would have had a change of heart...i think she would have wanted to run as a democrat
To the best of my ignorant knowledge, Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell are both Republicans. But, then, how difficult is it to be convinced to change? All you need is a potential of a nomination.
very very very well written!
it is so true and also unforunate that the distribution of power (read wealth) in the world is such that a good american president can mean a lot to the entire world. it can mean a promise of change and of hope reaching the shores of distant lands at last.
Mr obama has the burden of expectations on his strong shoulders... he will let down a generation around the world if he doesnt come through for them!
and no rooted wanderer... jai maharashtra is not the flavor of the season... if senseless violence/ discrimination can ever be called that!
if at all it is the flavor of the season like platform heels were a few years ago... no one owns up to having bought them and are ashamed to be associated with them now :)
Didn't Colin Powell endorse Obama? I agree to what Jai Maharashtra symbolizes...senseless aggression/ violence/ discrimination never makes sense... Platform heels? Never bought them :)
The response to Jai Maharashtra is
here. Support it and let the idea prosper. Something that has taken the country by storm.
And the response from the Maharashtra police is here.
I think KRK should focus on Bhojpuri films. :D
