Opinion poll is a survey of public opinion from a particular sample. It is usually designed to represent the opinions of a population by asking a set of questions and then extrapolating generalities. While it sounds pretty harmless, the decision of the Congress party to back Election Commission's views on restricting publication and dissemination of opinion polls during elections has come under severe criticism. The argument  in favour of opinion polls is that they are a representation of the freedom of speech. But, presently the  manner in which they are being conducted and publicized raises some alarming questions on their validity and impact.

I had little time to take a view of the election campaigning process that took place in the state elections, the results of which gave BJP another Jhatka. Looking and analyzing the results and results alone, it wouldn’t be hard for anyone to say that second innings for congress has just got going. The glaring thing about BJP is the big rupture in the party. The word missing from the party character is “Integrated”. As a marketer, if I am not clear with my product or an idea I’m trying to sell, how would I convince others. It is as simple as that. But to convince yourself and that too when you have a 100 heads (just a number, no reference) is tough. There is still going to be that unhappy head, which would give you a big time headache. And then there are those tumors and genetic defects. Now the meaning of this post can slip. I’ll keep it simple – It is not possible to satisfy everybody at the same time. And not to say that winning parties don’t have conflict of ideas. When there are t...

An unsettling shoe just rattled the hopes of two congress MPs in Delhi, and now a war of words has begun between Congress and BJP . Narendra Modi called congress a "Budhiya", which was responded by "Gudhiya" by Priyanka, but now its just stooped below the standard of what a national party must be doing. The recent low in the war of words (WOW) comes from AICC general secretary, B Hariprasad. He says "The man who made the statement on the old age of the Congress party must implement his statement on his own political party. First he should dump Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the oldest man who is in hurry to become Prime Minister L K Advani in the Arabian sea," Woah! The reader's reactions to this comment have been in favour of BJP rather than congress. This comes after the four pronged attack by congress on BJP's PM candidate, Mr L K Advani. Rahul,Priyanka and Sonia Gandhi lashed out at Mr Advani and surprisingly Dr Manmohan Sigh also came prepared ...

Campaigning could be the worst or probably the best show of mud slinging and Lok Sabha polls are bringing out the seasoned and the new kids on the bloc on the big stage. Smoking has been officially banned at all public places in New Delhi and a BJP councilor didn't hesitate in doing a quick smoking sting operation. Former Delhi mayor and Congress councillor Farhad Suri was on Thursday caught flouting his government’s stringent steps to ban smoking in public places, when a BJP councillor Rekha Gupta caught him smoking in the Town Hall. Gupta caught Suri smoking outside the MCD House meeting hall and complained to mayor Arti Mehra. “Smoking in public places is not allowed and being a councillor he should set an example for the people and not indulge in breaking laws. We want that an enquiry be initiated against him and he should be fined as per law,” said Gupta. - Hindustan Times

The Lok Sabha polls are around the corner and the BJP camp has begun aggressive campaigning to woo the voters. At such a time out of no where comes a fanatical organization and thrashes up innocent people in Mangalore creating a national outcry and rage. In the name of Lord Ram, a group associated to BJP went ahead as the moral police and bashed up people partying in a pub in broad daylight. BJP goes ahead and disowns the sena. Now the swiftness through which the job has been done makes me feel that something is not as white-Black in the BJP camp. Was this drama orchestrated to show a non-fanatic side of BJP or was this a move gone horribly wrong. Starting early can have its positives and the negatives and with BJP in spotlight over this issue can make it a champion or immature move. Looking at the downside it might strengthen nations view of a fanatic-nationalistic-violent party and as seen in the assembly elections incumbency and development might again be the high tide in an already...

I was discussing this with a friend of mine today and fortunately, in my online world I came across this wonderful image of the cross breed of Lion and Tiger called Liger. (This is the largest Ligress in the world) With this idea, what if we crossbreed our political parties say BJP + Congress ? Bongress Bongress might just come up with a bang. The cooperate to Dominate (c2d) strategy! If they don't somebody else might just eat the pie.

Nokia Maps, a feature of the Nokia GPS phones (Also known as Navigators), have made a blunder by showing Kashmir a part of Pakistan. Nokia is one of the most trusted mobile phone brands of India and has risen in popularity because of its easy interface. I too use a Nokia Navigator phone and it has been essential in navigating me to unknown places in Delhi and Mumbai. Nokia Maps is a software that uses the GPS receiver of your GPS enabled phone and helps you show directions, and virtually guides you through every lane. The designers of Nokia have done a fabulous job as far as the technology is concerned but they have gone wrong with the facts of Kashmir. The reactions to this mistake have also been over the top. BJP protesters raided a NOKIA store in jabalpur and set it on fire. I am pro-BJP person, but I think such violent reactions are just not needed. We live in a civilized society and we should behave accordingly and not like hooligans on the street. Destroying hoardings and burni...
