It's been a long time since I have posted anything over here in my blog. Not that I didn't want to, but I couldn't! Call me crazy, lazy or anything you want, I just couldn't write a clean blog post on several topics I'd wanted to. :( But TODAY is a very important day of my life and I just DO NOT want to waste the opportunity by writing nothing about the day that it was!

Before writing anything further let me clear myself - I am neither against any particular person, India National Congress nor working for any other political party in India. In-fact I hate politics and anybody and everybody associated with it. Though I avoid talking about politics and politicians as much as possible, sometimes, I do feel like expressing my stand about what is

In my first blog post I had mentioned that I had fallen in love and that the life had become difficult in its own way for me after the love had happened to me... I still haven't yet told the girl that I love her nor have I told anybody else that I am in love... and hence my current situation is as good or as bad as it was when I had written the first blog post more than a year back!

What an asshole should this Manish Tiwari be to not only make defamatory attack on Anna Hazare but also make stupid comment about Anna's supporters and people of India who are against corruption. To clean his and his party workers' shit, Manish Tiwari is using the people of democratic India as his toilet paper.
