What a day it has been!! I am obviously talking election-wise.I am not going to go ijnto the details since i suppose everyone already knows that Ms. Gandhi no longer wants to become the PM and she's suggesting Dr. Manmohan Singh's name.I am sure the whole nation awaits this saga's end like me.&lt;br /&gt;I am going to go into the whole drama that accompanies this fiasco.The Congress workers...The Congress MP's and the like.&lt;br /&gt;Let me start with the congress workers.I've seen shots outside 10 Janpath (her residence) on NDTV and the least i can say is I am AMUSED!! Yes, a bit annoyed but also amused at the lengths people go to.But the Dramatist of the year is shared by two people...NAMELESS unfortunately, but one a delhite and the other from Luckhnow.&lt;br /&gt;Let me start with the Delhite incase people missed the brilliant screenplay on live national television.So...There he is...standing atop a car wearing a &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;dhoti&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; attached to the &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;nara&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; was a hand pistol. The man threatened to kill himself unless Sonia Gandhi took her decision of stepping down back!! WHY??!!?? the policemen hanging from a tree finally managed to get the pistol out of his hand!! talk about lunatics!!&lt;br /&gt;The Lucknowi...was no to say the least no better.He wore a scarf sort of thing &lt;br /&gt;(sorry i dont know what it's called!!)around his neck.he wanted to set himself on fire! okay sir...now when u want to set yourself on fire...you light the clothes that are on your body not the ones you hold in your hand...so that when you try to set fire to yourself people yank the cloth out of your hand!!Talk about intelligence! YOu were on national television...maybe even international...think the next time huh??&lt;br /&gt;The Congress MP's are another story!! Shouting at Sonia Gandhi like she's sinning by announcing that she doesnt want to be PM. Let it go!It's her decision...How can you have a reluctant PM??!! I dont think it's fair on the people. seriously.I mean this woman by the name of Renuka Chaudhry started &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;crying&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Give me a break seriously...It's not a joke you know!!&lt;br /&gt;well I'm ending this now...to check out the latest developments.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6965074-108490101976219733?l=mystikriver.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/feeds/108490101976219733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6965074&amp;postID=108490101976219733' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108490101976219733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108490101976219733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/2004/05/whoa-what-day-it-has-been-i-am.html' title=''/><author><name>hallucinogen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07587282952251552114</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965074.post-108465009064418556</id><published>2004-05-15T12:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-15T12:41:30.643-07:00</updated><title type='text'>quote-unquote</title><content type='html'>"There isn't enough coffee in Brazil to make me a morning person...there never will be!!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6965074-108465009064418556?l=mystikriver.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/feeds/108465009064418556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6965074&amp;postID=108465009064418556' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108465009064418556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108465009064418556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/2004/05/quote-unquote_15.html' title='quote-unquote'/><author><name>hallucinogen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07587282952251552114</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965074.post-108464169513817170</id><published>2004-05-15T10:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-16T08:30:46.150-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Si, signora Prima Ministra!!!</title><content type='html'>The Congress has chosen it's leader--SONIA GANDHI (not that it was unexpected or anything).So it's almost certain...we'll know for sur in a couple of days I guess.

Till one fine night...a few weeks ago...I was talking to him on the phone it was 4:30 am when his battery finally started to give way.So we said our byes and good nights and I started readying myself to go to sleep...the bed was beckoning...arms wide open...I was just gonna make way towards it...I've got a text!! WOW!! 4:40 in the morning...I must be popular or something eh? So...anyway...i make my way to the table...it's from the same friend...it said "stay up for half an hour n check the sun out...seriously...it's awesome."I text back telling him he's gone mad...so...i stay up anyway for that half hour...so I can see the sun "wake up" alrighty then...I push my sleep aside...the clock FINALLY FINALLY(thank you God)strikes whatever time it is supposed to for the sun to rise...I see scarce rays of white light filtering through the night sky...I think WOW! can I sleep now?But as the rays become denser...I feel mesmerized...suddenly I dont want to sleep...I want to stay up ...and watch the whole thing.The sky is now three different shades....I see one of those little rockets...high up in the sky...leaving a grey trail amidst the now pink and orange sky...slowly fading...merging into the mosaic of colours...I was standing in my balcony...I looked down into the garden...There was breathtaking beauty everywhere...Cool wind in my hair...Even though there was a promise of a hot summer day ahead of me...It doesnt bother me...I'll be sleeping all day...finally the sun gets too hot to handle...It's seven in the morning...I take in the scene...one last time...Listen to the chirping birds...singing their own song...before I knew it...I was in bed singing " I ...I feel so alive...For the very first time...."I have no idea when I fell asleep...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6965074-108438470266998060?l=mystikriver.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/feeds/108438470266998060/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6965074&amp;postID=108438470266998060' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108438470266998060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6965074/posts/default/108438470266998060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mystikriver.blogspot.com/2004/05/drifting.html' title='Drifting........'/><author><name>hallucinogen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07587282952251552114</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965074.post-108436292235859602</id><published>2004-05-12T04:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-12T11:52:32.286-07:00</updated><title type='text'>cliched</title><content type='html'>Lying on my bed...I pick up my pen...put it down again...thinking of things to write about...nothing crosses.
