Still, she told her audience, "I think that there will be an election that will elect a woman." As for herself, she says she is done with the political high wire and looks forward to life as a private citizen. "I would like to come back to India and just wander around without the streets being closed," she said. "I just want to get back to taking some deep breaths, feeling that there are other ways i can continue to serve."
