had a sleepless night on the eve of the election results. may be it is in anticipation of the dread i feel for modi. no i'm just being a little dramatic. to be honest, i find modi's rise on the national stage hugely unsettling. respect the verdict of the ballot box is what i tell myself but part of me is contemptuous of majority rule. what do the masses know, huh? that modi is the saviour, the benevolent patriarch. yes, i'm off the mark. yes, this is the typical elite refrain that is part hubris, part naivety. but hell modi is on a mission mode to be the shining star of india's political constellation. his competition is not rahul, sonia, may be not even bapuji, netaji.  his place is among the grand hindu myths of ram, krishna, blah blah. modi makes for a perfect myth-making machine. myths are always tricky-their provenance is contested but their legacies indisputable. yes, bring it on-abki baar, modi sarkar- the mantra on your lips. thank you and goodbye.
