Something of Myself

no studies for quite some time now...hmm...anyways booked my ticket. it always feels good to book your tickets, to know the exact date and go over it...the date that i will leave this godforsaken country for sometime at least. i am hoping to stay in kolkata for the durga puja. four years is a long time to miss out on badir pujo.

today the election results came out. i got a mail from my brother telling me that congress was on a winning front. i was dumbfounded. i never expected congress to win. but the democracy has done its trick - they've kept it simple: you dont deliver, we wont vote. good job. people are making a big fuss about sonia gandhi's origin. i mean for christ's sake by that logic arnold shouldnt have been the governor in the united states. i mean i agree with the fact that it is rather shameful that we dont have a leader who is an out and out Indian to rule the country but then again, sonia IS an indian. she has lived in india more than i have. does it make me less of an indian? so what if she was born italian? she married an indian. she lived like an indian. at least now the alliances have shut that matter up. i know she is not experienced and blah blah but its not the critics who decide the balance of power, it is the masses and the masses have chosen her. i hope she and her party does a good job.

i seriously need to get my concentration back. i am leaving for india on the 13th of august. can't bloody wait! sometimes i think i might feel like a phirang when i go there. i hope it doesnt happen. i hope i feel like i used to...its probably just the used-to factor...
