Its funny the way Indian politics and policies are shaping. False knights mounted on neighing horses trample the aspirations of a stereotypical voter to quench their lust for power. Now, the knights are not dressed in quintal of steel but in khadi, for not-knowers - its a material made popular by a puny little gentleman who wore a metre of cloth to inspire a nation of morons to be independent. I shall touch two distinctly related aspects in this post; which may not be directly related to you but could as well screw your life.
Firstly, the nuclear deal issue. My-o-my, the whole eposide can inspire a million pseudo-political soaps on the telly tube. The red-shirts who normally do not have a point in life, voraciously opposed the deal. The green shits - I did not miss the 'r' here - who are the rulers of the country, do not understand what consensus means. They went ahead with the deal as if they are bargaining a rich, 6 foot 2 inch, good looking, Harvard graduate for their limp daughter. I do agree that the nuke deal will solve the long standing problem of power in the country but the diplomats always forget to read the fine print. Its like signing a pact with the devil here. And that devil, United in all his States, is pretty good at getting things done his way. As if the works are not complete with this travesty, the greens vowed the reds with some under-the-table help. Now, the reds are humming the same tune as the greens. We only need the 'Men in Blue' to complete the primary set of colors or unnecessarily rich stupids.
Moving down south and where the tables are turned for a lucky CM of a blessed state - I don't know what the state is blessed with though. This guy comes to power in a total shocking fashion, refusing dad's side and aligning to a party which was almost non-existant in the state. Power sharing, seat sharing, bribe sharing, bathroom sharing happen consequentially. Brothers in arms and friends in shoulders are witnessed. But, as time passed, this guy sees the bell to heaven dangling by his dad's antiquities. He vows not to share the seat to the other party. The other party, the saffrons, the whole brigade, if they had one in the state, pulled him back into his kitchen by opening the Pandora's box.
Verdict - Hung assembly and hung like racoons (I could not muster the word 'horses' for these pinheads). Who is worried about the loss of public time and money? May be not even the public itself !!
Cobblestones, paved by parties of dubious interests, are which comprise the fabric of politics in this country. Each of them unturned reveal infinite ugliness but collectively put forth floral avenues for the interested parties. These avenues lead to gains of unjust for them and curdle hell for the rest. One day,a seething rain of righteousness, will wipe this dingy pathway - begetting the dawn of justice. Till then I shall sleep wrapped in my warm blanket of anonymity and .................................... KEEP CRIBBING.

I beg to disagree that the nuclear deal is a pact with the devil.
What India needs is some semblance of consistency in its foreign strategy. In the short term, I agree that US has messed up its stature on the world political stage with its interference in Iraq, and elsewhere.
We should keep in mind that US is the world's most progressive democracy with probably the most stable socio-political institutions that guard freedom, fairness and justice. This system has had its fair share of misgivings due to its inept foreign policy- largely driven by a myth that they were invincible. However, things will change and in the long run, rationality will prevail.
What we see today in US's foreign policy is hubris. However, we should also be glad that US has the right DNA to be self-correcting. From India's perspective, friendship with a large democratic country that has economic interest in India's sustained growth is important. One of the biggest problems for India will be lack of infrastructure and to solve this, if we need a pact with US, so be it. It is always a give an take. To infer that we have sacrificed our souls to be able to live, by signing this treaty is just being too extreme. Even for a nation, compromise is the only way to forge ahead.
Well, considering the technology India is going to get and the fine print which has to be met to, the nuclear deal is not taking us anywhere, but the US everywhere. The Northern Gaint is a very wise friend to have though.....
Great country, intelligent/hardworking people and I am always indebted to the country called the United States of A. But, being hubristic is Uncle Sam's forte and their foreign policies are paying them back with a share of hell.
