Can u imagine how hard it is to become a politicion after being educated that much.
I feel it's not a waste. What ever one digest in their mind will direct to take better decisions.
I wish more educated people to be part of indian politics.
By posting this type of comments are u doing any good to anyone....Just think for a sec.
Try to lead group of people, u will know how it sucks.
I like to ask one Q for both hUmDiNgEr and Shilpa...

Answer to ur-self.

Dear Swabhanu,
I wrote it after thorough questioning.
"Can u imagine how hard it is to become a politicion after being educated that much.
I feel it's not a waste. What ever one digest in their mind will direct to take better decisions"...
good point...but after having so much of education how can you become a "dummy" in the hands of someone who doesnt know an iota of politics? And talking abt taking better decisions...how can a "dummy" take decisions when he is remore controlled by "her highness"????
I cant imagine someone with that kind of education can be remote controlled by somone else...
"I wish more educated people to be part of indian politics."
I wish they are "free-willed" also.
"Try to lead group of people, u will know how it sucks"...
really??? I dont know....if someone thinks leading "sucks"...he shd step down from that position.
Anyway, thanx for your comment.
I want to convey the idea that its not an easy job by using the word sucks.
It seems i have used the wrong word to convey my opinion.

@swabhanu,
Yes, it is not any easy job. I agree. But, time and again we as a country failed to elect the right person for this job. Tell me one PM who made any justice to this job.Starting from Nehru...the post has always been occupied by a partisan person rather than an astute politician. PVN Rao , though an astute politician has to save his party first rather than working for the country. They were all prisioners of partisan politics. We elected ppl like V P Sing, Chandrasekhar, Deve Gowda, Rajiv Gandhi ( He is the worst PM India ever had..)...the list is full of ppl who are either communalists or pseudo secularists. The great short man Sastry was bumped off in dubious circumastances....
The point I am making abt Manmohan Sing was...there is no need for all that education for whatever he is doing presently.Any Lalu or Ramvilas Paswan can do it. Do u remember certain Paneer Selvam served as the CM of Tamil Nadu for sometime..???
manmoron singh cannot stand up to say no and thoroughly enjoys being a boot-licker to one uneducated bimbo risking national security in the process. that should be one of the main reasons why all his education and credentials have failed him and stand useless.
