we did it

Like many others, I could be seen crying my little eyes out yesterday. jumping for joy, inspired to believe in change, or at least, inspired to believe in hope instead of fear. I don't know if things will change much. But it is important to at least have milemarkers along the road. Moments when we can rejoice and believe for a short while. A day to be proud to be alive.

One small comment from a broadcaster here in India, before the election was called, as a picture of the crowd at Grant Park was shown:
"Well, we usually associate this type of crowd, this sheer number of people, with India, but it looks like today the Americans are in the streets."

I was proud to hear a citizen of the largest democracy in the world give that compliment to the citizens of my country of origin.
