"Yes We Can"

Remember this slogan "Yes We Can", "Change we believe in"....Who am I talking about??
Yes I am talking about the change we hoped would change world's fortunes...Mr Barack Obama.
Carrying the expectations of billions of people across this globe he has been arguably the most followed person on this planet.Into the second year of his presidential term, he arrives in India on Diwali day with hope of strengthening ties with the emerging power house...Our mighty India.

India might be buzzing with several important stories like Corruption,Poverty,Unemployment and list never ends but I have no doubts that all will be thrown under the carpet once Red carpet is rolled out for our beloved Mr.Obama.Mr.Obama will attend the Business and Entrepreneurship summit.He will then meet the captains of Indian Businesses in a meet which will see participation of more than 200 US companies and cream of Indian Industry interacting to strengthen economic ties between two nations.

The focus of the above agenda will be on role of India's consumption driven economy in increasing employment levels for US.This is very easy to understand.Obama,an astute leader that he is knows that ,Indian economy growing at 9% ,is a huge customer of US.With Indian economy blossoming ,US sees a role for India in reducing its unemployment levels which is hovering around 10%.He expects to use his visit to increase the Indian investment in US market.

Battery of Indian Politicians who will be seen running after the reigning Lord during this visit is going to be a Circus to watch.From our beloved Gandhi's to Mr.Chavan who has been busy allotting houses to his relatives these days,all will try to pamper Mr.Obama as if he is the last hope for India.India which calls for inclusive growth is not going to come by looking westward.India has to look inwards.Every Indian has to introspect....Introspection and timely corrective action is going to be the key to India's Growth.

CWG was termed as a huge success story where India showcased its growing strength.But we should not forget that what preceded games was something that brought shame to every Indian.We were able to salvage our faces just in Time and with God's grace everything went smoothly during the games.Corruption has been the word of the year.Scams after Scams keep cropping up but here every one knows give some time and everything goes under the carpet.

Mr.Obama is going to be the catalyst for the same.He will attract all the limelight and our frenzy media will forget about Aadarsh Scam ,CWG mess and IPL saga to allow our politicians to rest in peace.

One Hindi line that Obama will definitely take back from our political class is:

"Jaan Bachi Toh Lakho Paye"
