Life is fun and so is blogging!!!

The largest democracy of the world is going to yet another general elections. Parliamentary system or presidential system not withstanding, the elections will be fun as well as a challenge. The challenges will be to conduct free and fair poll in spite of and not withstanding all adversities i.e. naxalism, terrorism, separatism of all kinds and cultural and political diversities. The exercise will be fun too for the administrative and organizational opportunities that it will offer.

And I have also been offered the honor of being part of election process as an observer. So I was called for the briefing for the job ahead and that offered an opportunity to meet with a couple of friends. All of them had valuable experiences to share earned over last ten years or so. Every one was thrilled and looking forward to know the place that he/she will be heading to. However this thrill was spooked by the Election Commission when they informed of observer's portal and told that place assignment will happen only after a couple of days.

So next month I will be headed to some unknown place either in snow clad mountains of Himalayas or dry lands of northern plateau or the ghats of south-west. It could be a place in northeast or Kashmir or Telangana or Kerala. However one thing is certain the experience will be great and so is the feeling to share that with all the friends.

I will try to ensure that the blog is non political and instead focuses on issues other than elections. So it will be nature, economics, recession, job statistics and so on.....

So friends, come and enjoy the blog!!!
