Hi All
This is my first attempt at blogging.I am sure some of you might not agree with my views but i just wanted to have a place where i can check how far could i go with the crowd. If you have appreciation or even critiscism please allow me the pleasure of knowing it.You can reach me at viskid@gmail.com. My first blog is with the newly formed lokparitran party. I am really happy that my fellow student friends are coming up with a fight that we can all be proud of. Gone are the days where oratorial excellence alone can keep you alive in student politics. Since i have my own aspirations of serving the country rather state as the first step. To be precise serve a small section or constituency before breaking the shackles.So my real doubt is did they take a correct decision in going for the poll all alone?. I perfectly agree with the view that the main focus of the party is to show how good we can do ? but for a first timer is it ideal to go all alone? the first and foremost in my mind is will they (i am not yet member of the party) be able to survive with the same vigour till the next elections if they didnot win any seats leave alone losing deposit(which seems to be obvious for me. i am not making fun.even MDMK lost almost all its deposits when they went alone in the first elections) are we all mentally strong enough to take defeat which will last for a while?. Why these questions arouse in my mind? I have a few reasons to have them. The reasons are not in order(i.e all of them served their purpose equally).In politics it takes longer time to establish your name or face to the public unless you are a facisimile of M.G.Ramachandran. With a large majority of the people still not knowing what to look for in a candiadate. Most of them failed to understand the simple fact that Election is not a one day affair rather its five years of their social betterment. So where is their party stands now? With no fiery orators, no bashers of other parties, how are they going to establish their identity?I read abt their Bike rally in favour of one of their canditates. What do they achieve by going on a bike? Do they think upper middle class and upper class (strictly economical) are going to vote. They always enjoy the Election day as a holiday. Only the middle class and Low income group people will be coming for vote. will you be able to attract them with your Bike rallies? Even on reel life they want to associate themselves with the charecters, what abt Real life? How will you be able to make them feel that you will get to the ground to work for them? I dont think Bike rally with flashing cell phones will get them closer to the people. I dont mean that they are flaunting, i just want to say that we have not developed that much. In my honest opinion they should have tried to get one or two seats by forging an alliance with any of the leading front.Lets get elected and show the promise by showcasing your good works(with media support you can really do that).I am saying this because we lost 59 years but i dont want to lose remaining years because we could not succeed in a single day(May 8). I am really praying that they continue their work after May 8 whatever the results may be. Because if we give up now, we will never have time. I know how hard it is float a party in initial years(We have to take care of our own family, because their motto is not to earn from politics). Friends,Please remember that "it takes long to remeber, but it takes longer to forget". there are couple of other topics i want to post i will do it in imminet future..All my views are based on what i read in so may papers and magazines.All of my opinion might be unacceptable, but i want to know them why?otherwise i will never have a real understanding of this issue.So friends if you really have any criticism or appreciation please let me know.

Jeyaram - i think u hav done decently well in ur first blog. However, being a serious intern in the field of Indian mainstream politics, i suggest you to write a blog on more specific topics concerned with the present state of the country, or our state. It would be more attractive.
And also, knowing the fact tht you are good at multi-tasking, why dont you try out other fields too?!
Rest, the blog is beautiful. Keep going.
