Aggregated from: Desicritics Category: Politics: US

The human spirit is a strange thing. Even in the face of the inevitable, when it actually happens, we experience the exhilaration and joy akin to the feeling we have at a surprising turn of events.

The Significance of the 2008 US Elections

Aggregated from: Desicritics Category: Politics: US

This is one of the few posts on politics I have ever written. I feel it is significant and so I have put across whatever came to my mind. Elections are currently going on in the US.

India: Confident in Obama

Ask not what India can do for America but what projected President-Elect Barack Obama can do for India. This, at least, is what many Indians are asking in their blogs as the world awaits the confirmation of the news.
