Politics sucks and politicians stink....

Politics must be the only legal illegal job available. I dont understand what motivate one to become a politician other than for perks that is available to one and of course the potential for third party "perks" !! Guess this must be the major draw here.

I wonder what motivates these old men to keep living on and on (Karunakarna in Kerala comes to mind!). Dont they ever feel like having a breather from all the mud slinging that goes around ?? Dont they ever feel like retiring ? Maybe they really like this "fast life" or they are power hungry parasites !! Well whatever, I really hope that I never have to interact with a Political "Leader". Of course we dont have any real leaders anymore, rather only populist cannibals.

There has been some cross border firing with Bangladesh now. India should be the only country in the world with an uneasy relationship with all of its neighbours :( !! One probable reason is that Indians are perceived to be a soft lot. And I guess, Indians have given lot of indications to that effect. They always have this tendency to let other people walk over them, whatever be the field, sports, politics... I guess its something inbuilt in the Indian psyche....

The firing from across the borders by Banglaadesh is another indication. That this was a country we once helped regain its freedom does hurt. That we have to take this lying down to diffuse the situation is adding salt to the wounds. Sometimes you just dont want to know is happening around you and just carry on with your life.

Being a mental retard would indeed be blessing sometimes....
