Is it or is it not - I mean all about sentiment !

Gawd ! or is it Thank God 'D' Day or is it 'T' Day has arrived.

Since morning, actually every two hours, Bureau Chiefs are getting calls from correspondents across the by-poll territory. Sir this is this, this is that and that is this. So-and-so is the percentage of polling.

The boss invariably asks 'Who are the votes appearing to go to ?" and the reporter replies blah-blah. "So is sentiment working or not ?", asks the boss and the reporter replies blah-blah. Oh-Oh says the boss, taking the onlooker thru a myriad reactions.

It amazing. Actually its funny, sometimes even hilarious. How does any reporter think his/her analysis is good. Its been like this since Day One of notification and predictions comes to their peak. But even then I think, "We got to wait till counting starts NO".

And when counting does start, we will start wondering, "Oh, yeah ! We have a few more hours to go for the Returning Officer or whoever he/she is, to make the declaration NO".

Meanwhile, we have the reactions of political parties to cover NO. Oh ! Gawd. This n That ! Too much. Actually, three, four or even five-much. All right ! Lets wait n C !

A hello 2 myself !

Hello !

I just realised that it has bn exactly 2 months since I started dis blog of mine. But sadly also understood that I just hd two posts on March 23 and 24. I decided to promise myself and to the teeny-weeny-itsy-bitsy number of fans that I seem to have, that I will b more regular.

All the best ! (To myself, that is)
