It is good to remind oneself that not everyone in India goes gaga when something big like the tsuNaMo happens. The wisest thing that was said in the aftermath of the Mamata Banerjee landslide three years ago in West Bengal came from a rickshaw puller I know: 'It isn't likely to make much of a difference to you and me, Sir'. I think the same thing can be safely said about Narendra Modi's zamaana.

I'll comment for your longer post about this on your other blog, if I may - but I'll keep the faith that you're right about your concluding sentence over here. I hadn't been too sure about anything with the 'TsuNaMo zamaana!' a few weeks ago - although when Didi rose in Bengal, I hadn't felt that there would be any earth shattering changes.
I started reading the election news after your varied blogposts (out of sheer guilt and some shame and bits of curiosity) although I had been re-visiting some older dialogues/discussions/arguments on matters socio-economic-political-psychological-philosophical (not out of any guilt or shame). I'm no Mother Teresa, no matter how I see myself, but at times like these, I take a bit of hasty comfort in what you said that Desmond Doig said about her and I get the message, right or wrong, 'it's all right...just stick to what you need to do and get it done'.
