As usual I was lookig for a site that would show the Indian goverment election 2009 and I found out that electio commision has a site set up with the maps and stats online.
Here is the web site http://www.eciresults.nic.in/
The intersting part is they have a amazing interative map online using ESRI Arcgis Flex API and Arcgis server.
BTW ESRI is a company that I work for and now I can tell my friends when my friends ask about the place I work.
I was totally shocked and surprised by this sudden move of the current CM of Tamil Nadu M Karunanidhi to go on an indefinite fast unto death today to bring a ceasefire between srilanka and ltte.
That too after J Jayalalithaa declared she would strive to form Eelam if she wins the 40 seats.
Sooner or later some one is going to promise we will rename Tamil Nadu to Eelam if we form the government in central. We still got solid 17 days before D day so any thing can happen people be on the watch out…
If I’m right these 2 parties AIDMK and DMK ruled Tamil Nadu for last 30 years ,were part of most governments in central and this war has been going for last 30 years.
What are the odds of this scenario happening and a solution not being found for last 30 years?

What a surprise the fast didn’t even last more than 3 hours?
Is it cosidered a fast if I dont eat between breakfast and lunch?
The Ripple Effect
With the United Progressive Alliance – UPA lead by Congress(I) winning the 2009 Indian parlimentary election with a surprise and its ripple effects has started showing up.
Obviously the first place to feel the effect is the closest to the center that’s Srilanka where BBC has reported that Velupillai Prabhakaran leader of LTTE has been killed. Although it could be rumor as usual but pretty much LTTE will be taken of the equation from now on in Srilanka.
But good news LTTE regrets the loss of innocents life ,not able to protect them any more and willing to silence their guns (nice term indeed).
There above statement is like the saying in tamil
which means Praying to the Sun god after losing the eye.
All mayhem over the weekend..
Update – 05/24/2009:
LTTE has finally accepted that Prabhakaran is dead. Hopefully with the end there will be a better solution in srilanka.
