Hi
Long time no see!! Yes, I was too occupied with the system of the world which had decided my course of life before I was even born.
But today is a day that compelled me to write as Donald Trump had become the President elect of United States. He was least expected to win the elections against Hillary Clinton in an epic battle of lack of choices for the American people. They would have felt how it feels to choose between a better evil (which we have been doing for years now)!
These elections are a historical mandate and right from the time DTrump was announced as President candidate against HClinton I was sure that he will become POTUS. I do not understand why the world had doubts? Why the financial world was or is worried? There is no chance HClinton would have been a better choice.
After the general elections in India where Modi was elected with thumping majority the voting pattern of my generation started showing its effect. I strongly believe that these days you must learn to take a stand with full understanding. Either you like me or you hate me, there is no in between.
Both the elections polarised the voters, the candidates did not polarise but the opposition did.
One needs to have a point of view on things, either you are friends or enemies, either you are good or bad but now a days you cant be in between, you cant be a diplomat. The voters wont like that at all. The stand has to be strong and must catch the sentiment of voters. The stand can be polarising, non - inclusive, divisive but that's what the common man wants and that's how they vote.
Both Indian and American elections have shown that.
You cannot love fire and have an affair with ice at the same time. And then the actions must follow.
It will be interesting to see now how Trump deals with international issues like India & Pakistan. Till now the US has been supporting India and funding Pakistan and trying to have better relations with China as well. Sounds strange. But Trump might not like it that way. If he will be friends with any one he will be enemy with their enemy. I hope that happens, that's what he has shown in the campaign. He has clearly spoken his mind on many international issues.
He will have either s strong following (In India they are known as Bhakts) or people strongly hating him (In India they are known 'the all knowing intellectuals & liberals'). But that is how it is going to be.
Now, the world stands with 3 leaders with clear minds about what they want to do. Trump joining Modi & Putin.
We must expect a huge change in the power shifts with these 3 men at the helm. They all are strong, clear minded and operating big countries.
I feel the Americans have made a good choice among the 2.
