Go Obama!

All these days while a friend of mine was busy campaigning for Barack Obama, my mind wandered everywhere but to this topic. It was floating in the lands of love, anxiety and nervousness.

As I made my way to spend my last day in office,the radio blared declaring Obama's victory. I will never forget the look in my dad's eye which told me "I-can't-believe-i-missed-it". I was told to log in to cnn.com in the car...as he couldn't believe the crazy Delhi RJ's who might have misinterpreted the leads as the result. I didn't want to argue and I started logging in, somehow the page took unexpected time to load and the usual patience in him had started turning around.


When I told him, "It's true dad...he really has won. It's announced." He grabbed my phone and made sure. I could have been offended but I wasn't.



We congratulated each other and that was the moment I knew, that this was historic. That this was something I would never forget and that this was the "change" that had been accepted the world over. As soon as I got down the car, the big LCD at the entrance of Vatika Towers showed visuals of the US president graciously delivering his victory speech. There was no voice, the visuals spoke to me.

I would never forget it...It was my last day after all.


In the evening when I got back home, my sister and mom told me that they are fans and that they are floored. I had to watch all the video's now. Yesterday morning was spent on http://www.bbc.co.uk/ , if any of you have missed these moments, I suggest you don't.



The world has changed.

The times of global crisis will change.

The face of the new world has arrived.

The foreign policies that has been bothering us, might bring us good in disguise.



My favorite parts in the speech :

"It's not about the red states and the blue states anymore....It's about the United States of America"

One of the best captured moments of his victory speech was when people started mouthing"Yes we can" with their newly chosen leader.



A very unlike US president has won, someone who is so fit and lean. The fourth youngest US President,he is someone who is not white but will definitely fit in the White House.

He leaves people completely inspired, motivated and passionate.

Go Obama!
