Tomorrow the Govt of India faces a trust vote in the parliament for going ahead with the nuclear deal with the US....
For those of you who arent aware of what a trust vote is..it means the govt has to prove a 50% + majority in the Parliament to stay in power or India heads for another round of elections soon....
I was watching TV on sunday and the news channels were all abuzz with the 123 agreements, the IAEA safeguards draft agreement, the Hyde Act etc....and then they went on to interview the youth of the nation to hear their views on the nuclear deal and related stuff...
so the news channel reporter went to all these hip n happening places to meet with these cool looking dudes and dudettes and asked them....
Reporter : Are you aware of the nuclear deal...
Cool dude (wearing shades): What nuclear deal??? (The reporter should ve slapped him there)
Reporter : What is the NPT...
Cool dudette: Nuclear...no...Non..proli....profoli.....whats the word?? (No comments)...
Reporter : Do you know what the Hyde Act is??
Group of girls: NO...we dont read newspaper...
Reporter: Are you aware of IAEA??
Cool Dude: No...what is it???
Reporter: Do you know what the 123 agreement is??
Cool Dude 3: thinks for 5mins...stares here n there...we supply uranium....(no comments again)...
cheers to the enlightened youth of this country!!!!

hope sum of d youth learn a lesson....its a pity dat so many are unaware.....lets hope for d best tomo....
I saw something similar on V weeks back. I swear V the Indians need that enlightment. I too have bunch of people around who count politics or in fact knowing about the current affairs as low standards. Sad! But it's the other way round. Good to see that you are different. :)
no 100th post speech :O
@wonderful me...well i was amused to see those ppl blabber crap on tv...
yeah lets hope the trust vote goes thru...
@sach...i just try to keep myself up to date with what all is going on...
@gunj...lol...100th post speech...naah...koi teer thoda mara hai :D

@keshi...the first line of the post is not always the context of the post :)...without reading it and forming an opinion is not always the right thing to do :)

This is the first time I heard about this.
How are are you liking being back home, Maverick?
Hugs, JJ
@jj....well its something thats been going on for a while now :)
n im enjoying myself...though its not a vacation..but being at home is fun :)
God, tell me someone knew the answers...just one of them.
I am wondering though...the news people have control of what they want to show and report on. Could they have interviewed a person or persons who knew the answers but were edited out.
Could have happened. It's no fun reporting...everyone knew the answers. hehehe
I know its abt awareness but it was based on politics. And that dun interest me. Thats all I was saying.
**the first line of the post is not always the context of the post :)...without reading it and forming an opinion is not always the right thing to do
gee I never knew that!!!
Keshi.
