Lesser of the evils

It is a sad state of affairs when the citizens of a country choose from the better of the devils and lesser of the evils. The word 'choice' has lost its complete meaning in the election month that India saw. The electoral poor were left with the choice of picking a leader from a pack of tainted and corrupt forces, especially in a year where corruption has kept the news ticking and the newsmakers having a field day every day.

One look at the past year and we see that we have lost our resources to the official rodents in the garb of parliamentarians who had in the past nibbled and now swallow our resources from within. The country is suddenly in a limbo..action being last on the priority of any of the lawmakers. We are suddenly 'headless' or rather with a 'hesitant' head. The wrongdoers strut in broad daylight and murderers walk scott free. Yet the oust of atleast the self-proclaimed 'first family' seems like a step in the right direction(if ever there is any).

Change and more importantly hope for a change is what is driving the country forward. We need a breed of leaders who can take the much awaited action ..India awaits.
