So end sems got over yesterday and another sememter comes to an end in an all too familiar fashion. One thing that interested as well as puzzled me these last few days was the euphoria over end of Lalu Raj from Bihar and coming of Nitish in power. I was confounded. From what little we have seen of them in action and given the ground situations in Bihar, my prediction is it will take atleast their full term’s hard work to make any change that shows on ground. If they errr even a fraction, I think Laloo will be back. He is down but not out. And about criminalisation and Laloo, these NDA people are no better as far as I think. If they didn’t had muscle power matching those of Laloo, it would have been impossible for them to wrest power from him and so the question boils down to how better are the NDA rulers able to control their goons. If the goons from NDA go all out, Bihar will be in worse mess that it already is if it is possible. But hope!!, thats what keeps people and democracy going. More on this later. Bye.

End Sem
Another end sem exam beckons. Anothers semester looms to a close. With that familiar feeling and that zero average predictions. It seems that only day that matters academically any more here is the ‘List Day’ . Barring that nothing is academically eventful. Even if something interests you and that is a big IF it turns out eventually that it was of no consequence. How much do you know does not really matters over here. Rather what matters is how much shit you are able to cram in. And so it has been a very familiar story over the years that I have been here. More about that later. Bye.
