I was very impressed when I heard him talk to Fareed on CNN-GPS. I wished that he becomes India's Foreigh minister. I am very happy that my wish might come true.

Man, you are easily impressed. Where is the beef? Shashi is another sickular guy, I have watched him bash Hindus1 regularly, and that gets him elected?
It is rather difficult for outsiders, but I would expect rediff to at least spell Thiruvananthapuram correctly. As it is spelled in the article now (Thiruvanathapuram), the meaning is totally different!

Maybe the old name was more convenient, although it sounded like some kind of drum!
I was following your moves right from the beginning and was happy to know that intelligent and well meaning persons are coming into politics. We need many more like you in our politics.Do something for the country.
Very early to say some thing about his new role as there are real challenges ahead waiting for him. Winning election is just the first step. Wait and see whether he would be able to survive.
I think this message should go to all poltcal partes that they must gve tckets to itellectuals rather than creatng religeon / caste based politics. Shashi is a good person and I hope that he will get good cabinet position and take India forward.

All evil designs backfired at BJP:
Women attacks which led parents to feel insecure to send their daughters outside home for the fear of unexpected attacks, Pub attacks, Church attacks, Mosque attacks, Arson, rapes, murders, violence everywhere, Kandhamal, Gujarath genocide, Varuns hate and divsion oriented speech, polarising society in the name of culture and religion, hindu terror which killed innocent hindus, Mocking decent man like Manmohan ..... BJP has terribly lost to its own ploys of bringng bad name to others. I am happy for the verdict. Indian people are mature enough to judge the parties.
The people of Trivandrum had a lot of speculation on whether he will win the election as there were lot of candidates. It is indeed a very remarkable win. Hope he will be inducted into the ministry.
India needs enlightened men like Shashi. He will make a big difference in the Cabinet. His experience at the UN will stand India in good stead. Good for Congress. Good for India. Lukose Cheruvalel
