These three words could make a sea of difference for the forth coming years and for generations to come. November 4, 2008 could once be celebrated as a "Day of Change". July 4 could give greater joy to the patriots, but i see a very similar joy being felt on the "day of change". An Afro American emerged as the Presient of United States of America. Yes, its Barack Obama. A man who gave a all new dimension to the presidential campaign. Obama has come in a time where the state is facing so many larger issues such as the Iraq war, recession, financial crisis and many more. This puts Obama in a much corner where he needs to handle a multi-facet fire-fighting. It could be challenging days ahead for the Senator for Illinois.
Experts claim that this recession is much intense than the Great Depresion of the 1930's. This financial crisis has already infected most parts of the world which means the first citizen needs to fire on all cylinders to avoid the uproot. A Single person can never do anything drastic is such a macro scenario. The word "Team" in its true sense is required to anti-dote the present crisis. Few lines of the post-victory speech sense a lot of core values and idelogies which can well be translated into office. "And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too". I sense something good here.
Some policies of this black charming man could impact India, especially the Outsourcing policies. Yes, Why would someone worry about the neighbours lost bet when your own family is starving. This is the biggest reasons for the Indians to be sceptical about the Obama leadership. But it really does'nt matter if they were Pro-Obama or not. But they better be right from the word Go. The three magical words "Yes We Can" cascades such a positive breathe not only in the DC, but also in places far which are zone repelled.
The expectations from this man in context is far more than it would normally be. The primary reason being his innovative campaign which pulled a lot of people from home to vote, to vote for Change. Here i would like to highlight another line of post-victory speech, which mentioned "This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change". "Spring Forward" is quiet apt for the coming January as we expect a change in the positive direction.
My gut feeling here on this man who campaigned for Change will bring about a significant change in their homeland which should articulate a strong sense of positive reactions across the globe. I still dont understand war and that refrains me from commenting on that. But I know the troops needs to be pulled back from the deserts and the hills. It should still take some time. On the macro prediction, this man will really bring something which will be far remembered.
P.S. I have not travelled outside India, I dont know politics and i am below par on the global issues.

Deviation
Yes. The big inhibition is to write the first blog and the bigger one is to post it. To over come that, is to post one when you wanted to at the first go. You have a few options to look at. Oh. Yes.
Its either you put your thoughts in or to do a Ctrl + C and a Ctrl + V. You get to choose. I rather put my thought in and would ask a true feedback from a selected few. This gives you a chance to improve. Not a perfectionist. Who wants to be one. A time when you want to use jargons. No.. who asked for it. Jus go ahead. Are you thinking? Is there a format, would be the first thought? Nothing in this world has a format. Do you want to create one. Why create one, and later call it "Break the rules".
How long should this blog be? As long as you and I are intrested in reading it and writing it. Here you pose a question. Were you really intrested to write this one, or you follow the rat. Now we follow the mouse. Who does'nt fall a prey. Thats a bigger question.
"Who does'nt Fall a prey", read the quote again. Now think about it, it gives you immese food for thought. He who is born falls a prey in some form. So when you say that you are original, ask yourself the question, are your truely original. If you say No, then strive to be original. You can only continue to strive and not reach as you are not the origin.
Here you think what am really trying to convey. Oh my. Am still not clear of what i want to tell, as am not clear and sure of what i hear. So i deviate from start.
