So the election came and went. Media all over the world treated it nothing less than a world celebration. Talk shows got whole new reasons to mock the candidates. Subsequently, the humor also managed to tickle the Americans' funny bones.
At the end Obama won. And now what. Thats a big question. I think we are all too familiar with Obama's idea of 'change' which is more limited to just an image of change in a way. He in fact doesn't promise to divert away from the current administration but what he does plan to do is: make things right. But whatever is the case I don't really care. However, fortnately or unfortnately, it does effect the way I think, the way I live..man...you can't get away from their influences!
For the world- it could mean living under an illusion that he would improve the world economy or he would pay more attention to the degrading envrionmental problems...and yaadi yaadi yaadaas...But whatever it could mean for the world, there are certain things about 2008 American election campaign that shall remain embedded in my brain for quite sometime.
