Harbinger of change

Where I come from, today is election day. Lots of changes, but a whole lot is still the same. The same old parties with their fickle affiliations that change before, during and after every election, the same old promises, the same old freebies that are not really freebies.

I say same old, but there is hope... a silver lining.

For all the armchair complainers out there here's a shot in the arm, thanks to Chandrachoodan. You can't just complain anymore.





That is not all. If you haven't heard already, there is a silent revolution underway. A new party has been formed. By idealists. Seeking change. Better governance. No hidden agendas. More honesty. Accountability. Simple stuff, but profound. More encouraging is the fact that the online world has taken to them like fish to water. Bloggers like Suderman and Pravin have put in their two cents.

Blame it on Rang De Basanti or whatever, but there is change in the air. I can feel it. I can smell it. It may not be imminent, but there is hope.
