Delhi dilemma
Friday May 8, 2009

After travelling the entire country, I'm in Delhi today. I know that the Election Express is about small towns, big dreams but how could we not vote?

And of all the places, I'm feeling most nervous about Delhi. What can we show you that hasn't already been shown before? It's the home of all the national dailies, of all the TV channels, all my colleagues are here as well- what a tough job it's going to be today!

Also, am a little intimidated by the size of Delhi. After covering places which have around 10 lakh voters, I am now in a mega city with 1.1 crore voters. I think I like the small places more.

I better get to work quick.

Lonely, Troubled, Spinster, Spy. (Thank you, John Le Carre)
I've been a lover of spy thrillers for as long as I can remember. In fact, as a teenager I (once) even fancied myself becoming a spy when I grew up. So, I must confess I have been reading about Madhuri Gupta with interest, bordering on the voyeuristic.

Three years is a short time in the history of a three decade long extremist movement. But if television appearances are a barometer of success, from near anonymity in 2007 to steady fame in 2010, the Maoists have finally arrived.
