One of my company&rsquo;s clients is a major news channel, and I was at the studio late into the night, until the election commission announced that they had cancelled their press conference which was supposed to make an announcement about the final vote counts in Madhya Pradesh. A colleague offered to drop me home, and I got off at the gate of my colony, not wanting to subject my colleague to navigating the labyrinth that is any gated colony in South Delhi. I made my way home, humming to myself, thinking about what the elections portended about 2019 - as any dutiful Indian would. (Everyone in India is a political Pundit. Say &lsquo;politics&rsquo; to the nearest Indian and you&rsquo;ll know what I mean.)</p>
