CAST MY VOTE!!!

Hurray!!!! I cast my vote. This is second time in a row that I have cast my vote in the democratic system of India. The first time I voted I was on cloud 9. I was really happy that time and so was I this time. This was my first time to vote in this constituency. This time I was voting for candidate from Mumbai South Central. In 2004 I voted in Mumbai South constituency.
The process was a cake walk today.I and Mom arrived at the polling station. The station was near our house. It was Raje Shivaji High School. We went to the room assigned for our numbers, gave the officer on duty the election card, he made the entry and made us sign. Then I went to get the ink applied on my middle finger. This ink is important yaar. It is the proof that I have really cast a vote. Funny thing happened at this time. The person was trying to apply ink on my finger but for some reason he couldn't leave ink on my nail. He tried 3 or 4 times before he succeeded. Then I went to the polling station and cast my vote. It is as simple as that. I don't know why people don't vote if it this simple. The reason that we give are just to cover up our own weakness and laziness. If we want to then we can find ways to cast our vote. Anyways people have the brain to think for themselves and hence I now leave it to you all to decide. I did what I felt was right thing to do and I am really happy about it.

SHUT UP AND VOTE

SHUT UP AND VOTE!!!!
Yaar I don't understand why we can't just be good and responsible citizens of this country and vote. It just takes few precious moments of your time during a day and guess what that day just comes once or twice in five years. Once during general elections and once during state elections. We spend most of your time just loitering around, doing nothing. Wouldn't it be great if we just spend some time out of this "doing nothing" time and go out to vote.
We are a sovereign democratic country and as citizens of this country it is our duty to preserve the essence of this democracy. We have been given the right to vote. We can decide whom we want to see in office and whom you don't want to see sitting in the high chair. I know it well that politicians do not have a great appeal to everyone. But remember that politicians are also one of us. We are the one who can make them or break them. I agree that once they get out votes they never show their face for the next 5 years. But remember this guys, they do have to come back to us every 5 years. It then when we can decide if we want to keep them or kick them out. But you can do so only when you VOTE. Just sitting at home and cribbing about it would not work. Starting today, we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and make new beginning. My earnest request to everyone, please go out and vote.
"Ungli Utha....Button Dabba!!!!"
VOTE!!! VOTE!!! VOTE!!!

Finally I got my voter card!!!

Yipeeeeee!!!!! I finally got my voter card. It feels great to get the voter card. I have braved the crowds, stood in lines, gone from pole to post and finally have secured the card. And the best part is that I will be able to use it when I go for voting on 30th April 2009.

I have braved lines like this. This is just a trailer. The actual movie is what I had to go through with the people at the election office. But then it was all worth it as I got the card before I cast my vote. I would suggest every responsible citizen of India to get a voter card. It just makes us some what more responsible citizen of this country. Trust me when I say that our country does need more responsible citizens. This is just a small step but then you have to start with baby steps before you make that giant leap. I know it will be some trouble but trust me the feeling in the end is just great. I forgot all the troubles I took to get the card and in the end the feeling of complete satisfaction was what I felt.
