Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Advantage Rahul ?



When Rahul Gandhi meets Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh today , we will know who wins the first round


After a lapse of some 66 years , another Gandhi has staked his career and taken a principled stand in the matter of criminally convicted legislators


May be , earlier he failed to convince the Old Guards


May be the Coalition Dharma weighed him down


May be mother Sonia miserably failed to judge people’s mood


Now the chips are down !


And the outcome of this meeting will reveal , either the ugly face of India’s political past or the beautiful face of a new and youthful future


But even if Rahul wins this round , there are many more waiting to be won , before 2014 elections


A few of these are :



Ø    Coverage of political parties under RTI


Ø    Electoral Reforms Bill


Ø    Women’s Representation Bill


Ø    Jan Lok Pal Bill …. etc



Political future of Congress in 2014 elections will get decided by Rahul winning these rounds as well


If Rahul continues to display the same “ Courage of Conviction “ in these rounds , he may still succeed in stealing the thunder of Narendra Modi !


Today , a billion Indians will be watching the TV for “ Breaking the News “ !
