Over and out

No more time for debates. Pro-Modi, anti-Modi whatever.
Who one supports is no longer of any importance.
BJP with it's Modi mast-head is now truly the flavour of the day, week, month, year and years.
That kind of absolute majority can be dangerous. Just imagine, one party has the entire country at it's mercy!
One party will rule the parliament totally. There will effectively be no opposition.
Wherever, whenever, this is scary. 
Very.

A close friend of mine, Naseem, sweet and kind as always, expressed a very generous sentiment.
He himself does not belong to the Modi cult, but graciously wrote to say, and let me quote him here, "I am happy for you all, because India is not about you and me, India is about us all, and India voted for him. Congratulations once again."
My response was this, "That is exactly it Naseem, India is for all. And the 'all' mostly are literate, but not educated enough to decide for themselves, particularly when the floodgates of the shiny, gaudy tinsels open.
Having said that, given the options, much less show of pomp, splendour and posturing would have brought the same result."
