An Indian in Louisanna

January 14, 2008 Bobby Jindal became the first Indian American to hold the office of Governor in the United States. He was elected to Congress as the first non white Governor since the Civil War.

The guy is only 36 years old and uses modern media to his benefit. Evidenced by his formal website in which he posts videos, links to blogs, lists friends on Myspace and Facebook.

Despite the fact that he's a Republican, I gotta be proud. And I'll watch his journey closely for he represents the idealism that many of my family members sought in America before the gross mis-management of the Bush administration.

Should be interesting to watch Piyush (Bobby is the name he grabbed from Bobby Brady while watching an episode of Brady Bunch) as he traverses Congress, Republicanism and the post Bush era.

But then that's something we're all waiting for isn't it?
