Modi too is back...



Modi too is back. He is back into power in Gujarat as its Chief Minister for the third time. A clean sweep for the BJP, and he is the Gujarat CM for the third time. His next target must be to beat Jyoti Basu’s record of the longest serving CM.
So what is that makes Modi tick, with lots of controversies and talks about him (though this is common for any politician)? Looking into the news for the past few months, it seems Gujarat has shown exceptional growth, with a GDP higher than the national average. Modi is considered to be a smooth talker. Recently during the chief minister’s meeting, Prim Minister had stressed out not to read from the report that was prepared. Modi had immediately prepared a power point slide show about the developments that has taken place in Gujarat. This reminds more of Chandrababu Naidu the IT savy Chief Minister.
Modi might have done a lot to Gujarat and for its development. But he has surely missed out on one thing, the Ahmedabad railway station. Recently I had a chance to visit Ahmedabad, and the railway station was in a pathetic condition. Being the entry point for me into Gujarat, it was not a welcome scene. Gandhinagar may be a developed and a planned city, but that cannot be a reason for neglecting Ahmedabad, which is so close to it. May Modi take up this work as an agenda during his third year stint as CM. This may not be a high priority thing, but still doing that will not cause any harm.

Back Again...

At last somebody read my blog and sympathesised with my feelings. I got one personal email too. Not that I write a blog to get sympathy. Still it feels good in a way. It feels good to know that there are other people in this world with the same kind of feelings.
When i started writing this blog, I didn’t think of any title. Just started scribbling in the large blogger text box. Since it is related to my previous post, I then named it "Back Again". Hey hey, but don’t worry, I will put an end to this topic with this post, and wont bore you all people too much.
I think this itself will load you all too much. This post is somewhat different; in the sense I woke up my other personality to write this. So I am not sure about the response that I will get for this one.
The sad part is my other personality is not waking up. So I will end my second and final part here. Bye bye.

Back...

Today i learnt that i am suffering from multiple personality disorder. Not a surprising revelation, for most of the people in the world suffer from it. It gets bad only when it crosses the limit and thankfully only few persons fall in that category (I too do not fall in that category).
To make the other person in me happy, i am writing this blog. Yes, that personality occasionally comes up and forces me to write down some lines. I feel the "other" personality is suffering from a "compulsive writing disorder". The result is all the posts in this blog. But when my so called original personality comes back, it starts laughing at the posts and starts teasin my "other" personality about how "good" a writer it is. The "other" personality being weak and one which comes out rarely, stops doin that also. The result being a long gap between two consecutive posts.
The other problem is the length of each post. The "other" personality being so weak does not stay for long. Hence all the posts are very small. And i dont think that this post will be an exception.
I have already started feeling the "other" personality fading away. So before it fades away completely, let me tell you Good Bye.
