its the election time and some campaigning to awaken our dear voters has worked or not is still to be seen. what is more appaling to me is the stress laid on 'go and vote, become a responsible citizen'. To be frank i am not against this or anything but i think that our approach is wrong. I feel more stress should be laid on to educate people about background of local candidates, party manifestos and party's history. I think media should change the way they operate. Instead of bringing in 50 analyst per day to know bout future results they should cover the checks and run them nationally. This will indeed awaken the voters. Its a new drama unfolding with groups of friends making a sham of the whole process. As soon as voters are aware of candidates, biases will be removed. Well definitely its too late but yeah maybe next time it should be followed. People uninterested in politics, not even knowing the candidates go and vote. I doubt whether they are making any useful change by pushing up the voting ratio. and yes its still to be seen, 5 more years.

well a million thoughts must have passed my mind in the last one month which i m passing day by day, reason - my employer wants me to join from 18th may onwards. i hv never been this free in my life, i have nothing to do, nothing to look forward to but still i think i have done well. Gave a serious thought about the things which i want to do. i have tried to be more rational and have managed well not to be swept by emotions. According to my Prof SB, emotional touches always bias ur decisions. Well the next thing in line is Value Investing, the field of Graham and Dodd. This is my current job - the book 'security analysis' written by the two architects is serving me well. I hope i can continue to nurture my newly found interest post 18th May.

A true case of - 'Streetlight yearning to be Starlight'...
