Shady Past and President…

India is likely to elect its next President (huh!). With the current President (a truly magnanimous personality) facing ouster […the] otherwise dumb television with juicy commercials and nerdy sitcoms open debates on ‘who will be”? In past few months, some biggies are surfaced but the latest [and politically the most suitable] candidate — a frail woman from Maharashtrian belt is likely to be the Chosen One.

Did I say frail? Well, she looks as one with her doubly-sized spectacles and baffling ‘gray matter’. A cynosure to many political stalwarts who have turned India’s ‘post-independence’ political history from ‘best -> better->good' (now…approaching to worst). What makes her the toughest contender is ‘she’ a Woman’. With Patil becoming as the ‘first ever Indian woman President’ it’s a political advantage to the recent government and their supporting parliamentary associates. A razor-edge job, a crucial ‘game plan’; political gamers sweat, pant, huff…

Wonder what will happen to the Women’s Bill? With now a likely women President-on rule (though undeserving) will she sign the reservation or won’t she? Hamletian dilemma
