India is all poised to have its first woman President...there was great debate about it on the TV channels..Well I thought if we cant cow down ( punintended) the West in other matters atleast on this one let us.. Before Hilary Clinton takes the oath I think Pratibha Patil will. Karan Singh the other main contender for the post has gone on record and said,"sometimes it is not enough to have the right man for the job,you need the right woman" All the powerful men described her as a nice woman , but I am afraid it was not said as a compliment but more as it takes more than a nice woman to do the President's job.The most important task she has accomplished in recent times is not passing the anti-conversion bill ..which is a great boon for Christians here...but I wish they would pass the freedom of religion bill. But this is goood having a woman President -a first for Indian History!Now the world will get to see among things...hopefully the fashionable six yards of beautiful Indian silk as befitting Indian Women Presidents.
On a different note, after what seemed as eons of scorching piercing heat wave, the heavens have relented and opened up ..It is raining cats and dogs here..I love that smell of hot baked earth drenched by forcefull rain...Nature is really going beserk here...thunder ,lightening and the trees swaying feversishly...

...lets hear it for the girls..!
One of the things I have enjoyed about Canada is the change of seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter. But I remember also the refreshing thrill of the first heavy rains after the dry season in Liberia. It definitely gives a "God has remembered us again" feeling of relief and joy!
Well I don 't think P Patil is a suitable candidate for President. She 's virtually unknown, and has not gained much political ground either. We need a strong person to be Top Gun and Commander of our armed forces.Shivraj Patil or Karan Singh even Arjun Singh would be good.In my estimate a woman president should have the personality of the late Indira Gandhi, or Margaret Thatcher or Condi Rice.
