Let the numbers do the talking

Numbers are bi-polar.

They hide as much as they reveal.

Some Observations here. 

Numbers are from http://eci.nic.in/. (Data as of May 17th 9:00 AM IST)

  • Total Registered Voters  :81,45,91,184 
(Nearly the entire population of US (32+ Cr), Pakistan (18+ cr), Nigeria (17+ cr) , Japan(12+ cr) put together)

  • Total Votes                  :54,07,25,627 (66.38%)
(Nearly the entire population of brazil, Russia, Mexico and Germany put together)

  • Rest                            :27,38,65,557 
( Where were you all.. Including me..!!!!)
  • AAP Votes                    :1,13,23,443 (2.0% Vote share)
(Remember BJP was formed in the 50's, grown in the 70's, won just 2 seats in the 84    elections. The 30 years of that era can be equivalent to 3 years of this era with all the communication channels and media. So not bad factually for an 18 month old party.)

  • AAP Votes in TN :          :2,03,151 / 4,05,78,699 (~0.5% Vote Share)
(Seriously a better campaign strategy was needed.. at least in the south)
  • Biggest Loser  : Obviously Congress ( -162)
( Not just BJP, you too broke all the opinion poll predictions Congress)
           
  • Second Biggest Loser  in the country : DMK (-19)
(You had it coming)

  • Number of Votes for DMK in TN : 96,33,869
( Seriously there are so many who refuse to free themselves out of the old sentimental chains..)

  • Interesting Ladies Stat  :  BSP(Mayawati) secured 0 seats with 2.2 crore votes  ; ADMK secured 37 seats with 1.8 crore votes.
(Population density ki jai)

  • Total NOTA Count  : 59,93,512
(Bravo...there is awareness)

  • Constituency with Highest NOTA count : Nilgiris (Great Mr. Raja's constituency) -46,559
(Still couldn't believe he was able to contest in the first place..
worst being 3.5 Lakh hopeless voted for him.. how much socially unaware are people)  

Personal Regret : Vaiko Missing out

Rahul Dravid, A Workman Idol of our Times

Not everyone is born with the gift of talent, some just practice, persevere and perform. He is one such.                        It was said that if Sachin and Dravid were to be in a different sport, sachin would have been a marathon runner or a 100M dasher with all the flamboyance, flare, glory and adulation but rahul would have been an olympic shooter, calm, calculated,focussed and quietly hitting the bullseye of bullseye and signing off with minimum fuss like an anti-biotic that almost disappears after doing its duty in your body.                         You are great inspiration Rahul for all those who felt or feeling that they are not born talents. You proved that greatness is not a silverspoon. You showed that if one can sweat it out, keep up the hunger and stay in there, greatness would  inevitably follow.           ...

Kaleidoscope

"We are all star dust" says Carl Sagan. Suspended in the galaxy, Held in position by forces acting towards and against. Thereby we exist.                                            There is an inherent pattern in anything and everything that exists. There is a layer of abstraction, there is a cosmos of it's own in every tangibles. They aren't just any random distribution of chemical atoms and molecules. They are governed by a design.  An underlying current of design that runs across anything that is in nature. It doesn't stop there. It replicates. Replicates in any creation. It is as if this is contagious only that it is beautifully contagious. Going back to Carl Sagan's saying, thats is the core. Thats where the pattern starts and ends by the way. It is like everything up there are playing a game of chess against each other. There are dark and white spac...
