The American story

I switch on the tele and every channel seems to be talking about Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama - the epic battle between a woman and a black for the most coveted position in America. These are two people who have really inspired me - despite the odds, they have dared to dream, to go where no "man" dared go before, t0 tread the unbeaten path.
Personally, the American election shouldn't mean so much to me considering I'm an Indian and at present it's only the plummeting stock market that seems to be making the headlines together with rising inflation. But, we have a lesson or two to learn from the primaries - to dream big and to believe that together we can.
