Cynicism is the nemesis of hope. And hope is never a bad thing. But great hopes bring the risk of great disillusionment; and an overhead too. In addition to crushing our hope - it brings down our ability to hope further. The hope that AAP has brought to the masses is in itself their greatest gift. But we have seen our hopes crash earlier, when we hoped for a corruption-free India in 2011 - courtesy Anna's Jan Lokpal movement. It did not work out despite Anna and co's greatest intentions. Will AAP learn from those mistakes? Avoid the same now?
