Long time Pending Post... It goes like this..
I have surmounted Mount Everest,thrice. I swam across the length of the Atlantic,twice.I can cook 2-minute noodles in 1 minute flat. I have taught Sachin how to bat, Shahrukh how to act and coached Sania on the glamour in Tennis. Laloo & Sonia learnt the art of politics from me. When I talk everyone listens. My sensuous lips and winsome smile are the most common cause of women fainting at parties.
My muscular, "aerodynamically-contoured", adonis body is on the cover of magazines around the world. In my free time, I build dams,bridges and spaceships. Paris Hilton, Angelina, Katrina, Priyanka, Kareena, Ash & many other women are madly in love with me. Americans idolize me, Indians worship me & Pakistanis despise me.
The tsunami happened because I sneezed. I vacationed in Iraq during the gulf war. Black Holes are my preferred weekend getaways. I have gunned down 135.5 terrorists in Kashmir. I can stay without a bath for 17 weeks at a stretch and still smell mint-fresh! I'm older than Dev Anand but look younger than Shahid Kapoor.
I had the courage to watch "RGV ki Aag" and was still alive at the end of the movie. I'm the ghost-writer for JK Rowling, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Shakespeare, Shashi Tharoor, Vikram Seth & even Chetan Bhagat. I have regular conversations with the spirits of Mahatma Gandhi & Hitler.
I can make people believe all the lies I tell.
Its me.. - VALLABH KULKARNI!
Welcome to my World....

Go Obama Go...
In another 12 hours, A new American president will be elected. Seeing the exit polls it is pretty much clear that Obama is going to win the elections.
Some of the reasons why I feel McCain will lose the elections:
1. The current political environment
President George Bush has the lowest job approval ratings in modern times, even lower than Richard Nixon's during the Watergate scandal. Nine in 10 Americans also think that things are on the wrong track.
2. Brand damage
McCain damaged his 'maverick' reputation by coddling up to the religious right and President Bush.
And that damage was exacerbated in how his campaign has been conducted over the last few months - negative attacks which voters could care less about and emphasising issues which only conservatives seemed to care.
3. Sarah Palin
Picking her for vice-president made McCain look like a total political opportunist as the US public concluded she was unqualified.
Swing and moderate voters were also put off by her views on many issues and her personal attacks on the Democratic ticket.
4. Debates
It is very unusual for one side to win every single debate, and Obama did, according to most opinion polls. Biden also best Palin.
5. Financial meltdown
The way McCain handled the challenge didn't give voters much comfort. Even before Wall Street collapsed, the economy was already the number one issue. And with the meltdown, it became even more important.
