In the cauldron!

Friends, we are having elections; It is like getting a ring side seat during one of your bull riding carnival in Montreal-
Lot of noise, politicking going on all around; By the time you come dust will be settled but you might get some tail end action to see! here are some picks from the news:


1. State of Despair - why bigger states should be divided in to smaller ones like Uttarakhand (old name- Uttaranchal)..

2. Inflation zooms to 6.58%- inflation and politics on the eve of elections

3. Election drama now gets a touch of cloak & dagger- elections in sleepy Uttarakhand has become high tech!

By the way, Uttarakhand is the name chosen by the people of this Himalayan state; It was used in ancient scriptures to refer to this part of India
Take care
