Today Indian Govt has announced that its undertaking a massive task of issuing an ID card to each of its 1 billion citizens.

Anoop Doogg Millionaire??

Okay, This is funny. I was reading about this guy, Anoop Desai, who for the uniformed is a contestant in the American Idol 8. Everyone seems to like his voice and many are saying that he has taken American Idol by storm. Not bad for a Geeky looking guy who went to American Idol in a pair of shorts and flip flops. (Some people are also saying that the "brown" folks are taking the world by storm. First Slumdog and now Anoop Dogg) and I was like duhh...If you are at work, take a look at your right or left and chances are that one of them most be a "brown" folk. We are slowly but steadily taking over the world!!

Anyways, coming back to Anoop, people have to make fun ....That's our nature. Someone came up with this image. Its hilarious actually .

Indian Politics - when will a new era come?

Indian politics has always disappointed me. But every time I start to criticize politicians, I ask myself, what have you done? I am 28 years old and have never voted. So i don't even have the right to criticize anyone. But every once in a while I read of some news that I fail to understand.

Today is one of those days. I read this news :I will pattern my political career on Obama: Sanjay Dutt. After reading this news, I couldn't help but laugh - at Sanjay Dutt and other Indian politicians. How can you claim something like this? Obama was a community organizer ever since he started his career. What have you done? (And only being UN's ambassador on malnutrition doesn't count). What tangible changes have you done?

I think this is enough. We as voters need to ask our representatives what issues are most important to them and what actions/ plans will they be undertaking to fulfill them. And "Taking BSP to new levels" (Agenda of Mayawati's party) is not a valid aspiration for a party. You need to tell us the exact issues.

Also, we the middle class and the upper middle class needs to perform our duties. We need to vote, we need to be the face for the questions that underprivileged people have. We have to start something great. We need to make sure that being a celebrity is not the only criteria to get into politics. We need to get more people like Gurucharan Das to get into governance. They may fail, ( like Manmohan Singh's puppet prime ministership) but its alteast a start.
