Revolt.

Its been in the news for the longest of times now. In the print media, all over news channel. A topic of debate and discussion within the Political sphere, from the topmost echelons to the lower rungs. Its events have been followed religiously by the industrialists, for the manifold impact it has had and will have in determining the fate of global economy in the months to come. Yeah, you're right. I am indeed talking about the biggest revolution since the fall of the Shah.

(I might be wrong here, but then, I honestly can't recall any 'true' revolution since the Iranian revolution of 1979. Maybe the pro-democracy movement in Nepal would qualify as one, the break-up of USSR in 1991? Not that, of course. There might have been countless little movements in the intervening years, but come on, how many of them actually resulted in the fall of an Iron-fisted autocratic head, eh?)

Yeah, so, the fire, which started in Tunis, before sweeping across the length and breadth of the Arab World, and resulted in the fall of the head of the only stable Arab state had been stoking for long. Its been all said before. I am no expert, thus would not be analyzing the events which led to the revolt, or the after-effects. No no.. 

Instead, I am here just state what i feel.

Hosni Mubarak, (i don't know why, i feel i have a little respect for the despot. it's not exactly that easy to manage a STABLE ARAB NATION, is it? anyway, I respect Napoleon too) could have avoided the situation altogether. Not exactly a nice preposition, being kicked out from the office, is it?

I guess its turning nonsensical now, this blog spot. Might have something to do with this headache i have because of tonsillitis. Would continue next time, with definite idea as to what i should write.
