finally, it's over

months of campaigning. months of speculation. it has finally come to an end. post analysis may continue for some days and weeks perhaps but we will soon get going with hope for the future.

the interesting part of the campaigning has been media coverage. every news channel shows a marked preference to one particular candidate and they only show and talk about events and words and actions that proves their case - twist them if required, because ultimately all is fair in love and war. that is journalism today. maybe it is no longer journalism but just media.

one thing i like about the elections in this country, the candidate has to really work hard. two years of campaigning and sticking to your guns is not easy. well, when compared to what happens in our country. you dont know who will be the prime minister until the elections are all over like it happened last time. yes, we got the best bet we could have got however in MMS.

i too hope that politics changes in our country. for the better. with more accountability and transparency. with more young and educated and bright people taking to politics. if we could change politics from being just a dirty word. i know this is not mere day dreaming and hoping, because ultimately the cycle of change will catch up and with rising awareness it wont be long before change comes to our country. it is bound to happen. just a question of when.
