"Visitors"

It is 11:57 AM when I start typing these words. The scheduled power cuts are from 12 AM to 3PM. And mind you I don't have a laptop. I use a Samsung Desktop PC(CRT screen) and a battery backup that is nonexistent. But still I am here. The reason is that I don't think it will happen today.

The reason is simple. Kanpur has got visitors. Mayawati behen is putting her revered foot on this land and is expected to read out a speech. The leader whose statue is set to be placed in the campus of IIT Kanpur is not expected to talk about any tech-savvy stuff. Insulting Congress Muslim quota stand is expected to be the main part of it. Although she will not take it too far because she is also in the same fray. To assure the voters that she has developed the state and more importantly...The City of Kanpur will also be the focus. With the dug up roads and sloshing corruption , she has a tough task ahead.

Our dear PM is also making his presence felt here. Ironically, he is starting his election campaign from the place which was ruined due to the economic reforms which he had himself planned.(For those who don't know Kanpur was once an Industrial town but today it is just has the name of it. The textile business which was a main part of it's legacy and was ruined due to the economic reforms that came in the year 1991. ) And thus he will talk about developing the place which he himself ruined. Jokes about who has made his speech today are already making rounds . He is not expected to touch the technical issues like Minority quota. It will be interesting to see, if he does. The Congress party wants to cash in on his clean image.

Kanpur is in for a ride today. The policemen will have a damn difficult task to contain the traffic in these beautifully dug up road.

  And if you are thinking if I am going to attend the JanSabha of any of these two leaders?? No is the answer. I prefer Television.

(I am waiting for the time when politicians really start discussing the issues of the people. I laughed my ass out recently ,while watching a television debate. The politician was explaining that his party has brought development to the place while siting an example of  constructing free shauchaalay(Toilets) in the constituency. Is the level of thinking so low here??? )
