Yes personal IS political !!

 

This is the exact example for showing what I mean by "personal is political" with he increasing media intrusion.

Yesterday, since early afternoon Raj Thackeray was shown cutting his birthday cake, the cake in shape of letters 'bhaiiya'. All channels showed the clip and commented on his destructive body language. Some private joke became a public row. Though news channels claim that the birthday cake lost what the andolan had won the later public response tells us that people are more agitated with the news channels for showing the clip again and again and peeping into the private life unnecessarily and digging the issues to criticise Raj Thackeray.

This tells us that how important is safeguarding ones public image and especially for someone like Raj Thackeray who is so popular that he cannot afford to make such mistakes.

Thanks to his appeal that is public image is not soiled in the eyes of those who matter to him.

Really I was amazed to see hoe charisma worked wonders!!

OBAMA...


No one  should doubt the magnitude of what Barack Obama achieved this week. When the president-elect was born, in 1961, many states, and not just in the South, had laws on their books that enforced segregation, banned mixed-race unions like that of his parents and restricted voting rights. This week America can claim more credibly than any other western country to have at last become politically colour-blind. Other milestones along the road to civil rights have been passed amid bitterness and bloodshed. This one was marked by joy, white as well as black

New New !!

There won't be a better time to start blogging about Politics that matters than this. Now, that Obama is President elect, and whole world is looking forward for a major change in international financial, political and also environmental condition !!
Going local, Maharashtra too is witnessing some major political change in the equations with the rise of MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena).
This blog aims to argue how the politics would matter in your personal life !
