Let your Vote Count

This is from advertisement created by Times of India's Lead India campaign to create awareness about the power of a vote.

Three out of two phases of the election to the create a new parliament and government to lead the country for next five years are over. The results so far are not encouraging. By results i mean, the percentage of votes cast, not who is elected. It does not mean we should lose hope. It just means we need to be more agressive about this message.

Oscar for AR Rahman

AR Rahman wins two oscars to nite. I think its good tribute to a great musician. While i think he has created far greater compositions before and even after (the latest Delhi-6), this award is no small achievement.
Its takes on a bigger significance, given that it possibly connects the two largest film-making nations in the world, and probably will provide an exposure of our Indian filmistyle to the hollywood film makers. And the converse will help us in India appreciate a different kind of story telling.
