What is democracy?

India is about to choose its leader. The national parliamentary elections are just a month away.

I used to prepare speeches for politicians ling back. Once when I used the following quote written by Laurence J. Peter at the start of the speech for someone, it received appreciation from one and all.

"Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame."

Now, I have lost the passion to write political speeches; may be because, I have turned to write satires which won't be welcome by anyone-right?

The image of this bird here? It is simple-I like it. It is so cute.
