After reading comments on ToI my guess is UPA will be thrown out completely in upcoming elections. All attempts to get votes of poor by giving them mobile phones will be indeed futile. We need someone who is young, autonomous in the sense that doesn't have to depend on various parties to make decisions, with vision and strong will to progress.

What we need is other option. No kangress, no BJP but something else. I hope Hazare etc. can provide some options here.

PS: BTW i reached very secular post count of 786 in very secular country called India.

Here's a beautiful video from 1987 which never fails to inspire me.

Trivia question for you guys. Around 0:24 - 0:35, we see Shiny Abraham handing off to PT Usha who runs around a track with deer frolicking in the foreground. Which place was that footage taken in? (HINT: It is not shot in Kerala at all!)

AH and BRD did not use the emotion charring national songs like "SARFOROSI KI TAMMANNA AB HAMARE DIL ME HAIN.." and "RANG DE BASATI CHOLA". This would have ignited the people. It is time that aam admi is IGNITED. When I was a young boy, i still remember the round metallic election badges of the Dynasty Party with the slogan "CONGRESS LAO GARIBI BHAGAO" during the IG days. It should have been "CONGRESS LAO GARIBI LAO" and "BHRASTACHAR LAO". I am happy the BRD has hit the nail on its head - albeit after 3 decades - and coined a slogan which has the power to topple this monster.

Rang De Basanti Chola is BRD's favourite. He sings it and asks the people in his camp to sing along - at almost every camp.

guys, I know politics seems inevitable but please keep it out of this thread.
