Time 8:00 PM

- Came back from YMCA, Checked all my email accounts, knowing well that no new emails will be there, as it was checked just an hour back.

Time 8:15 PM

- Went to WIRED.com and started reading about Cassini Spacecraft's new images of Saturn atmosphere. IMHO Saturn is one of the super cool planets of all solar buddies. Thinking about buying land on one of those rings in future.

Time: 8:40 PM

- Seriously thinking about traveling to Saturn through warp drive, sincerely hoping that Star Trek will recruit me.

Time 8:45 PM

- Suddenly felt like being dropped from the sky. For warp drive is not possible, atleast for now. Last I saw no noble scientists are working on it. Only star trek geeks talk about it. Decided that its time to take up the task to my own hands.

Time 8:50 PM

- Again felt like falling from the sky. Stupid menial brains of mine, not worth for even as dog meat. Started missing Alby..err...Einstein. If at all he was alive, I need not wait on these fellas in CERN for figuring out god particles. I am angry now.

Time: 8:55 PM

- Reading theory of relativity for nth time.....and then stars.... and then big bang theory...and then black holes....then again space time curve...finally making my brains work hard to think about "what is space". I can feel like my brain is squeezed. If brain was a seperate person he would say constipation is the most appropriate word for this.

Time: 9:00 PM

- Going through what Dr. Gregory House says loss of life management. Starting with denial, goin to anger, jumping on to bargaining and finally diving into depression.

Time 9:30 PM

- Thats half an hour.. lying on my couch, on my stomach, philosophizing, parallely my stomach is growling for it needs food. I think brain and stomach of our body are like husband and wife. You get the point...

Time 9:35 PM

- Earth's ground rules (may be universe's)..."Wife always wins"... Filled my plate with food, heated it up in microwave, enspaced myself into the realms of www again. I am telling ya..it COULD be the new age satan

Time: 9:45 PM

- Time to read daily happenings. Its necessary, what if suddenly you are made the President of the world or something..I know I know no such posts exists, bbbbuut then always be prepared, thats what mom says.

Time: 9:46 PM

- Time reports, Palin complains about moving "In god we trust" words in US currency to the corner from center, blames it as usual on Obama (her new age Satan :D ).

- The Indianexpress.com says, Telengana people wants seperate state from Andhra Pradesh in India. Central government concedes. Now Ghorka people, Uttar pradesh people wants seperate states.

Time: 9:55 PM

- Good,  called my mom at home, India, asked her if we could have our house in India declared as a seperate country or something, She agrees. For now I am going to create a flag and hoist it on my house roof. My mom thinks, the flag should have a image of my dad. I accept her proposal. Thats democracy, see..I am not a commie yet.

Time: 10:05 PM

- Couldn't resist laughing. Brain relives the past 2 hours.. all my body organs are laughing individually. My brain is bleeding sarcasm. Stepped outside of earth, looking at it from sky....now I am laughing at it. Asking the people...

Whats the point ?!?!

My bits

So the mega election exercise that stretched for more than a month now is finally over. The CEC is the man of the moment now. And every one ranging from regional, national news papers to astrologers to psephologists to satta markets are making some sort of a prediction regarding who is going to win and who is going to occupy the coveted seats of Raisina Hill.
And as a responsible citizen who would love to vote but not given the option (non resident Indians dont have any means to vote), I think I atleast have the right to make some predictions.
Here is what I think,
1. The third front is gone, if Mr. Karat still believes that he can keep his flock together and bring a third front coalition to power, I think he is day dreaming. Something extraordinary has to happen, meaning both Congress and BJP has to win less than half the seats together.
2. I am giving 50% chance to each NDA and UPA for forming the government. I still think there is a big possibility for Mr.Advani to become the Prime minister of India. The possibility that NDA can repeat 1998 by bringing the same flock back together is very high. The one fact that is missing is most of the writings out there is the difference in how NDA and UPA treated their partners. Congress and its leaders are still not in terms with the fact that they can never enjoy the majorites that they enjoyed a decade ago. Their day dreaming, majority hangover will never allow them to treat smaller political parties with dignity (whether they deserve it or not is a different question). And that is why I think NDA still has the chances although BJP might fall short of congress in seat numbers. The possibility that TDP, AIADMK, TRS, Trinamool Congress, BJD even NCP moving to NDA is very high. Think about it, higher possibility of forming a govt where you can enjoy power for 5 years or settling for a unstable coalition which would result in election in the next 2 years... you choose..Small parties dont like elections...reason is simple..Money.
3. If UPA forms the government its not going to happen without Mr. Karat's blessings and the price here will be NO to Mr. Singh. If congress wants to keep Mr. Singh as PM it needs more than 170 seats on its own which is not going to happen or the left should be totally routed out bringing their tally to less than 30 seats. So who I think are the next possible UPA candidates.. it could be any one from the list Mr. Anthony, Mr. Mukherjee or Mr Chidambaram. Again Mrs. Gandhi might pull a humdinger like bringing Mrs. Patil as president from no where.
Adding one more caveat, any coalition with BSP will go down in drain in couple of years. Nothing against Ms. Mayavati, its just that past history along with party culture doesnt help.
