A new cobbled road is being laid in my area, sewage pipes are being laid gutters are being renewed. A bridge whose construction has been going on since 3 years has suddenly quickened pace-- this happens to be a bridge which coneects our are which also has a naval base to the whole of mumbai. I see roads being repaved ,garbage collectors coming on time,---the officials have opened their ears and closed their pockets

This is the scene every election season.

Hate Politics is what Indian politics is about. Mayawati hates Sonia, Rahul hates Advani, Advani hates Sonia, Lalu hates Raj Thackeray, Raj hates Biharis, Nepalis hate Bengalis, Tamils support LTTE, Kashmir is in complete hate for India......
VHP. Bhajrang Dal and RSS besides hate what else are they spreading?Congress is silent about Bangladeshi illegal migration in Assam....Leaders like Mamta Banerjee have taken WB another 15 yrs back.....
Why???? Why aren't there any Obamas for India? Why is it SO HARD for us Indians to say we are Indians by birth and not by accident? Why do we have to say that we are a Marathi, a Tamil, an Assamese first? Why does the "I"ndian word , "I am an Indian" does not come in our lips so easily????
Do we always have to see how America is growing and feel low about us? Elections 2009, no manifesto for us. No IITian no IAS officer, no AIMS doctor, no engineer , no IPS officer , no software giant, no industrialist ....none from the India's best brains fighting for us....If what we have amongst us are flim stars and hate speech providers, old and haggard, tired and weary..... India truly is shining!

Vadodara: Zahira Sheikh, the key witness in the Best Bakery burning case who was later jailed by the Supreme Court for perjury, has expressed her desire to contest the Assembly elections provided she is given a ticket by a political party. In an informal chat with journalists in Vadodara on Tuesday, she said she wants to serve the poor and work for the upliftment of Dalits.

She, however, did not visit her family-owned Best Bakery, which was destroyed in a March 2002 riot that had left 14 people dead. She later left for Mumbai.Zahira was released from the Nasik Central Jail in Maharashtra a few months back after serving one-year sentence. Her bank account was frozen by the I-T Department following allegations that she changed her statements in the high-profile riot case in lieu of money. In a brief chat with reporters, Zahira said she has deposited Rs 90,000 in a bank from the money earned by her family members through hard work. Giving the breakup for the amount, she said Rs 40,000 was obtained through the sale of a house in the Ektanagar locality. The remaining Rs 50,000 was earned through the sale of scraps and machines...
