Few words...

Following is the letter I mailed to Rahul Gandhi, General Secretary, All India Congress Committee on 23 October 2011. It addresses a fundamental correction in the view point of the majority of the people associated with the gove rnance of our nation. I posted it on office@rahulgandhi.in . Will also post the reply here, if any.   Dear Mr Gandhi, I am a common man of this wonderful country. The very common man whose well-being and prosperity is your responsibility, by your choice.

Just learn to live with the choice you made and more importantly the result it got you, because that is the important part of the learning process called life.
