Sleek ! Maybe a little Hollywoody, the cynics would say. And of course, amazing music which I must give half the credit to, especially the parts with heavy strings.
Every time I hear this guy, I ask this question which I am sure every Indian must have asked himself at some point after listening to him : When will India get her Obama ? And no, I do not think Mayawati is the right answer.
If you have been following the US elections, you would have heard most of the things before. But that doesn’t stop it from making an impact. Maybe a few more specifics and plans, not that I care too much, and he would have scored a home run.
