I usually don't tend to write about politics. But this time around it has started effecting me. I have been reading news paper since early days and have been much aware of the previous elections. But this time around I am shocked and feel utter disgraced to witness such cheap politics which all the parties are playing for upcoming general elections. I don't know whom to blame, politicians, media, people or myself but everything around looks so gloomy. There is not a single candidate whom I have utter respect for or a single source of media whose information can be trusted. The ruling party has brought a candidate who feels that poverty is a state of mind while opposition's prime ministerial candidate is an extremist with glorious past. Then there are smaller outfits who cannot lead the country yet. The media be it TV , print or internet have fallen down to just being a marketing tools for these over manipulative politicians. Each news piece comes up like an Axe advertis

Leaf on breeze circles around the lamppost, Un aware of the honking and traffic below. So peacefully it floats and swims, Un aware of the running and barking below, So engrossed in its rhythm creating a music, Unaware of the beggars fighting below. I so wish to be free like the leaf, Unaware of the worldly desires and expectations. But the leaf is dead, and I am not yet.
