For one so eminently qualified and well versed in aspects of governance, it must be quite an unenviable experience for Dr Manmohan Singh to be at the helm of affairs in governing this problem ridden country. Made worse with an inadequately bunched Congress in Parliament propped up by several idealogically disparate parties, thrown into an uneasy allegiance, to keep a marriage of inconvenience branded UPA running.
