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

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.

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...

This is an alarming signal.    What are all the alarming signals?  Global Warming :  A gradual increase in the temperature of the earth. It is termed that a temperature increase of more than 0.4 C degrees in a period of 100 years purely due to human intervention is termed as global warming.  Extinction of various species of Flora and fauna : A natural effect of the global warming. It is not just the extinction but the rate at which it is happening is more worrying. This in turn causes an ecological imbalance in the environment. Who knows if this chain reaction continues humanity would stand near the gates of extinction. Vast Climatic Changes : Another major effect of Global warming. With continuous increase of earth's temperature, polar ice caps would melt. Sea levels will incr...
