He's So Cute...Gawd!

[Hey, whatever I'm writing below is what I feel. I may not know a lot of things about the Government and stuff, so feel free to tell me where I'm going wrong...right?]
Yeah...real cute. That was my reaction when I saw the newspaper this morning. Gosh... and white really does suit him.:) And he resembles his dad but is better looking, no doubt on that. But most importantly, he's young and promising. Yeah, you got it folks! It's RAHUL GANDHI. No, let's get serious...it's not just his looks. We certainly need young leaders in our country. A few days back, it was Sachin Pilot who had all my attention, 'cause at that time Young Gandhi was somewhere in the background. See, I'm not much into politics and stuff, but recently two things have forced me to pay attention to this matter called Our Government. One, Jaago Re (Shubha asked me to check the website...it's serious stuff) and two, Lead India (courtesy, The Times of India- my favourite newspaper). Basically, it's these questions (with huge question marks) that they are asking the youth today, the most eye-grabbing questions being- "Why does the world's youngest democracy has the oldest government?" or "Isn't there a retirement age for politicians?" etc. It's kinda easy to say "To hell with it!" and not to give a damn, to ask, "What has that got to do with us?" and go on without a thought to spare for this, but I ask you, "Isn't it going to come back to us in the end?" It is... If you don't know, the latest crap I got to hear from one of the leading parties was something about them putting a stop to English Medium education in the country if they come to power (like I said in my post "The Hate Brigade"...all in the name of what they term as culture). Funny thing is, the prominent party leaders themselves have their kids enrolled in some well-known english-medium schools...:D But my question is- Should we let them do this? Should we let weird, insensible people like these to run our government? Shouldn't we put our efforts into creating a government which knows what is more important- stopping youngsters going into malls or stopping terrorists from sneaking into our country? CAN'T WE DO ANYTHING AT ALL? I'm not much good at motivating people, so I won't say too much...I will let you think about it (while I wait to get my voter ID card...as soon as possible). Hope you get an answer soon. Adios! :)
