Indian politics down and dirty

I only know who Indias Prime Minister is, President and my states chief minister. Rest of the politicians are just name to me. Mostly and i do mean most of the time i really dont care whats going on around me as long as it is not effecting me. I have stopped reading newspaper because first theres too much negativity in it and i believe if i keep reading it then preety soon either i will be sleeping on the couch and looking at the ceiling of my shrinks office or any direful news wouldnt affect me in anyway. The best thing is to become ostrich and bury my head. I always have a passion for reading. In the doctors office ofcourse you have no choice but to read those old aging dying magazines they have and hope that you dont get an attack of asthma by picking the magazines. But suppose you go to a restaurant then obviously you would chat with your friends but i couldnt resist reading the menu even after ordering the stuff. I am reading because i like to read oblivious to the fact that i can understand it or not.

Like for instance i like reading about physics although i have taken commerce as my main stream of study and i know basic maths and statistics but no way those big alien language formulas you see in physics. I am still trying to understand quantum mechanics and after reading half of the article i give up because i gained as much knowledge from it as i had when i picked up that article. But still i like to read. My best time was when i was working in the mall at the furniture store. god that was blissful for me because i only had to attend customers when they came and it doesnt take a rocket scientist to conclude that you dont get that much rush in a furniture store compare to clothing store. So i would pile up 4-5 books and read and read and read until I hear someone calling for me and cursing myself not to notice the customer that came and asking me questions.

Where am i going with this? Look at the title and look at the tale i am spinning here. Politics everywhere is dirty and isnt confined only at national level. We hear words like office politics, corporate politics, politics among our friends and sometimes even in families. I think we should give new meaning to the word politics. It should be labeled as an infectious diseases to watch out for with mortality level of 99%. One should see indian politics and even in this era i get shocked by our politicians art work. In this field you need to be unethical with as much amount of morality that you can see through very powerful electronic microscope. Sometimes i feel for people sometimes i get angry at them. I feel because they have to suffer and get angry because even after experiencing first hand how they were chewed by our leaders still cheer for them. Democracy has a new meaning, do what you want. Freedom we say in more respected way. Its because of the works done by our leaders, they hyped up article by our media and seeing the suffering i gave up watching,reading or taking any interest in our politics. That is why you will find me the most ignorant person when it comes to politics. Let me think whos our Prime Minister. I know the name was on the tip of my tongue..............................
