IKE, All the best for your "Bus Ride". Remember last time I posted that BJP's main motive to have last May's fire cracker is to get some political mileage. I also predicted that that will be a short-term gain rather than a long-term broad support unless they can exploit the sentiment. I think BJP missed the opportunity and "May bomb" ended as short-term gain. BJP got trounced in recent by-elections. This party has not gained voter base during the last two elections (actual percentage remains the same, and gain in number of seats is mainly due to fractured opposition). Thanks to recent "Onion bomb" their image as a stable alternative has been booted for the time being. Unless BJP gets rid off Thackrey and the likes and evolves itself as a broad based party it has no future. Enjoy your trip and let me know how Bollwood gosip played with cricketers. -Nat
