election time

I know politics is everyone's fav muse to write ill things about. But I want to say something different. As much as we hate the politicians, we fail to remember that politics and politicians are 2 seperate things. While its fair to not like the person representing you, it not cool to think politics itself is bad. Power and fame can have adverse effect on all of us and that exactly whats happened to these politicians. Its better to pity them than be angry at them. I have a read lot about citizens forums fielding educated, ambitious and zero criminal record candidates from their constituency in Mumbai. This is a great move and we should all support it. But its also high time we all decide to vote. If we sit at home then we have no right to complain about anything. As Mahatma rightly said "Be the change you want to see"...India is a magical country but don't expect some magic here!!!
