Long time. Urge finally. It's been a long time i have been thinking on this. Finally felt the urge to write. Is our nation a nation of cynics? I feel, yes very much. The problem lies deep in us.

The article itself is an example how... Read Blog »

To begin with i feel inheriting seats in the parties is totally unacceptable and undemocratic. The essence of democracy is to empower the nobody's to come up and realize his dreams, not by virtue of his family but by the virtue of his own abilities.
