US elections-To Anchita.

[Guest guest]

Hello,Anchita,

U forgot about Amma(Jayalalitha),voted back to power,by the intelluctual South

Indian,electoral mass,despite having ammased millions,and the whole booty once

displayed on national TV,complete, with all her famous footwear.

Actually,it is not the mistake of a country/people,who re-elect them to

power.They all rule on the strong psychology that voters everywhere have short

term memory which is true,when u see them bringing the same people back to

power,after one term.

Here,I would like to share,Seema's views,abt her patient's psychology.When they

r in labour, and on the table,they heap promises to their DOCTOR never to return

and bear the pain all over again,only to find as Seema says,the very next

year.And when Seema reminds them of their promises,all they have to say

always,is WOH DARD EK MAHINE BAAD SAAB BHOOL JATE HAIN,DOCTOR.

BTW,again,Tumhari EK PHAMILY PHOOTO HO JAIY.For Ophthalmolgist,we believe in

seeing eye to eye than talking behind the curtain.So,would be nice to know who

has been writing such nice and informative mails on all the broad range of

topics that come up on this site,on a regular basis.

Shyam(84).

Re: Cheer up Neeti

Enjoy these elections. We were following the results in our office yesterday,

and everyone was " depressed " with the results. And all said " How can the

Americans re-elect Bush to power? "

And then we thought that they are no different from us. If we can re-elect the

Laloos and the Mulayams again and again, the Americans can have their Share of

Bush-es!!!

Just today, the radio was on in my bus, and the RJ (Radio Jockey, yaar), was

talking about the " fight " (Elections) between the " jhaad " (Bush) and the

" kaccha aam " (Kairi / Kerry).

So everyone relax and have a good laugh.

Love,

Anchita
