Politics has its own funny way of creeping into your life and staying there as the indispensable. Its influence on those who call themselves liberally 'democratic' is quite astounding.
When Sajan Kumar (Congress) won from our area - a similar theory could've been successfully derived. People gathered in great numbers in the beautifully-manicured and landscaped garden across my place and burst crackers for hours raising their voices high enough for our BJP supporting neighbors to hear (including those who had insisted the whole lane puts up BJP flags on their gates as well as terraces - my house hosting about seven of those tricolors).
It was a sight to see - and I captured it with my Nikon. So while Sonia Gandhi may see mungerilal ke haseen sapne, I am content that the news channels would have something else to discuss.
Long live India - and long prosper such ministers, who make our lives so politically uplifted.

I'm so glad she won, some positive change. To imagine these people, revolting even before she's come into power. I think she deserves a chance. Don't you?
