Anyway, in between these four days was that ONE DAY IN FIVE YEARS where everyone is glued to their television sets, radios and newspapers, NOT FOR CRICKET SCORES,NOT FOR MOVIE RELEASES and NOT FOR WEATHER FORECASTS. It is a genuine curiosity to know what their fellow beings are thinking and who is the new leader to be incarnated. As it turned out, 2011 election results was like one of those Aus Vs Ban matches, where right from the first ball you know who is going to be the winner. Clearly, People Voted for CHANGE. IT was more of a NO CONFIDENCE MOTION rather than a support for the opposition.
At 1 o'clock, it became clear who is going to be the new CM and i went to watch the movie "KO" {ironic isn't it? :D}. As it turned out, the film was good except for the heroine which has become a cliche in Tamil films. Take out the heroine, a couple of her songs and scenes, you will have a good movie. I don't know when our directors are going to realize this.
With the election results and the movie kindling my thoughts, I began wondering what will be the time when people start questioning their candidates for qualification. For being placed in a software company, i had to go through 7 rounds of processing! But for someone who has the power to change the country, all it takes is M-O-N-E-Y, F-A-M-E or in some cases C-A-S-T-E. Perplexed at the attitude of the people, all i could say was no matter even if 100% people turn up to vote and everyone votes based on their choice, If the candidates are not selected based on their educational and moral background, all we can form is a clumsy government, which we will have to wait for 5 more years to be dethroned and to be given to someone even worse. All i can say now is,
"Raman andalum ravanan andalum enakkoru kavalai illai".
Because
"Intha ulagathil evanume raman illai".
