Black or white?

It's time to get over with the tiresome term of junior Bush
It's time when Americans will go to polls on tuesday morning to elect their 44th President.
It's time to see who will overpower whom?

Barak Hussein Obama, A thoughtfull young black man in white country who is favored to win over a feisty war veteran of Caucasian stock.

John McCain, brought a new twist in his election campaign by announcing that a former beauty queen, a mother of five and the present governor of Alaska -- Sarah Palin would be the vice president of the U.S if he is elected as the vice president!!
In palin's first speech on the campaign trail, she offered up her biographical details to an audience unfamiliar with her background. She introduced her husband Todd, a production operator in the oil fields on Alaska's North Slope and a "world champion snow machine racer" with whom she was celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary on Friday. She introduced her five children, four of whom were with her on Friday. The eldest, a son, signed up for the Army last Sept. 11 and is headed to Iraq next month.

But a new national poll conducted by CNN/Opinion Research Corporation suggested that Sarah Palin may be hurting Republican presidential nominee John McCain more than she's helping him.

The survey, which was released on Sunday, indicated McCain's running mate is growing less popular among voters and may be costing him a few crucial percentage points in the race for the White House.
Fifty-seven per cent of likely voters questioned in the poll said Palin does not have the personal qualities a president should have, CNN said.
But things will turn into reality within a time preiod of few hours.

All one could do is to just sit back and see who is the next 1st person of U.S .... the black man or the white??

Dwarfed Life

Few days back I was reading a newspaper and in the middle page I saw an article bruiting that a student from IIT Bombay tried to commit suicide enunciating the fact as he was performing low in one of his subjects!

The article for a moment took me aback! Just low grades in exams forced the chap to take up a serious step! (I guess I should given him my example ;) )
Neways, nowdays news paper has been flooding with the news of committing suicide by people of all ages। Some are fed up from the monotonicity in life, some are troubled by the falling of market, while some are so much distressed from the prevailing problems that they decided to chop off their king sized life line!
Recent financial crisis has also added fuel to this deadly activity!
Before writing this topic I was discussing something from one of my friend and he quoted an example in front of me : "Once when he was in 10th n whole family was waiting for his result which was due any moment and then they heard an ambulance on the street and suddenly he said "looks like result is out"
We ourself have made our life an "easy piece of value"!
The courage of facing problems has been loosing in people.

Even our Indian army and airforce are not away from this "ending life crisis"!
In a calculated suicide rate of suicides per lakh, air force has 16 suicides and Army heads Navy by 11!
For a force having approximately 1.2 lakhs personnel this rate is highly alarming!

Increase in suicidal rates show that we people have been so much busy in making money and have been moving so fast in their life that they keep ignoring small day today problems which often in turn take ferocious face of depression and loneliness. Later they see that the only solution to their problem is to end their life!
Often great expectation from small children in a fast and competitive world leads to a great deal of pressure which in turn decrease their performance instead of an incrementation.

But in this age of globalization and rapid economic growth, people's aspiration to grow themselves in disproportionate terms in case of salary and in case of their social status (not only among elders but also among students.... the rapid growing competition among them )this is a challenge that is here to stay.
