This the list of the 50 most powerful men in the world. Interesting as well as heartening to see King Khan and Sonia Gandhi in the list. I am not a big fan of Mrs. Gandhi particularly her stony silence in times of distress and need.

But it was definitely a surprise to see SRK in the list. I have always admired his wit,intelligence & persistence than his acting histrionics. I cant say whether he deserved to be in this elite list, but I would surely include him in the "10 most powerful men of india" list. He was a no one and rose from the ranks of obscurity to being the most powerful/popular film star of bollywood and that too without any godfather.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Last sunday I skimmed through an article by Swaminathan A Iyer in ToI. The article was on who had a better chance of becoming a PM after the national elections.. surprise surprise... he is betting all his money on Ms Mayawati...and he assumes it is because of the complicated coalition govt politics...

Are we ready to accept Ms M as our Prime Minister... do you think she will be able to manage the expectations of 1 billion ppl of this country... forget abt the expectations.. do u think she can represent India when she meets with the premiers of other nations...

I firmly believe that if we do elect Mayawati as our PM, the veneer of "India rising" will fade away faster!!

ciao..
