Voting Percentage
Voting percentage has to be based how many voters whose names were on electoral rolls had voted. Many times people who are eligible to vote do not find their names on electoral rolls. In my society in one house husband’s name was on voting list, wife’s was not. In another house the case was opposite.
Candidate for Prime Minister III
As days pass it appears my chance of becoming PM is becoming brighter. UPA, NDA and Third Front having 181 seats each in Lok Sabha is a probability.

Nirmala Venkatesh should be sacked
There was an attack on women in a pub named Amnesia in Mangalore on 24/1/2009. The hooligans were around forty. Such attack has no place in a civilized society.
