Balajee, I was thinking. Maybe we can persuade Monisha Koirala to apply. She'd make one hubba-bubba Goddess. It'd be fun worshipping her, wot?
I mean, I’ll let you folks be the judge, okay? Here are your candidates for God(dess). Take a good look-see and then tell me if there is any room for doubt.
God Candidate #1: Mata Anandmayee Pujjya Sri Sri Sri Sonia-ji-ji-ji (A single Ji can scarcely convey the reverence an average Indian feels for her.)
God Candidate #2: Dubya
God Candidate #3: Monisha, in her God work clothes (left) and in her chill-out, "I so Human" clothes (Right)
It is not even remotely a contest. Oh, and in case Monisha is busy and cannot be bothered, my next vote would go to the entire Russian women's tennis team.
In a related development, upon hearing that George Bush and Sonia Gandhi have applied for the position of God, (A) Bin Laden, (B) Mr. A. B. Vajpayee and, (C) all Democrats who rooted for John Kerry, have submitted their own nominations for the post of Satan.
This just in. In a late move, Ralph Nader, seeing how it was an election and all, has submitted his nomination also. In an even later move, both he and his Ego have been stripped naked, whipped raw and chased out of town by some seriously pissed-off Democrats.
Postscript: Here's some food for thought, though. If Monisha does indeed become Goddess and her administrative skills are anything like her acting skills, we are looking at serious trouble.

I really enjoy your blogs. You totally missed one candidate - Gen
Mush. See if this provides any food for thought http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/241485_kristof21.html
Anon,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I did miss the good General.
I checked out the link that you posted. Mukhtaran Bibi has become quite the embarrassment for the Pakistani government.
I was surprised at the stark diplomatic naivete of Mushy's comments though. I thought he was more media-savvy than that. It's the kind of foot-in-the-mouther that you would expect a Natwar Singh to pull, not Mushy.
Buck up Mush, your slip is showing.
Welcome back, Rob.
You gave some of us a bit of a scare there for a while.
Sougata.
