Bangalore techie club jubilant for Obama

Bangalore: They will have a big bash this weekend. Not only that, some techies in India's Silicon Valley who had all along rooted for Barack Obama in the US are firming up plans to attend his oath-taking ceremony Jan 20."

We are very delighted that Obama has won the election," Balaji S. Venkat, president of the Barack Obama Bangalore Fan Club, told IANS. "We have decided that two members of the club will attend the inauguration.

"We've sent congratulatory messages to Obama and the Democratic party on the historic win and have started celebrating his win. We have planned a big bash coming weekend," added Venkat. The support from techies comes in spite of fears in India that the global financial meltdown may force Obama to turn protectionist and put curbs on outsourcing.

Okie so what are you supporting >?>??????

Since August, the members of the club had taken out 15 road rallies in Bangalore, mostly on Saturdays and Sundays, carrying placards and distributing pamphlets to passers-by on why the US as well as India need Obama in the White House. The club has also raised Rs.200,000 ($4,100) from fellow Bangaloreans as contribution to his election fund.
