I so wanted to write a post on the upcoming elections and the fact that we must exercise our right to vote. but then being apolitical and politics illiterate I'm hardly the person to write it. all i feel right now is that we voters hardly have options from which to vote from. and its more of voting the lesser of the evils from the whole lot. that's hardly assuring isn't it? what amuses me and in turn disgusts me, is the mudslinging every party engages in just to promote themselves. there is no decorum or decency. moreover a new trend has made its presence felt, that is of flinging of the shoe towards the politicians, while it may just mirror the anger and sheer annoyance on the part of the common man, it however does not justify itself, for it was done in real bad taste. what is hilarious is the political manifestos... see them and tally them with the youth and the youth problems and you will have yet another reason not to vote even though the political parties are trying their best to woo the youth who constitute the majority of vote the bank. but hey does not mean you don't vote... do ahead and vote, for change.
check this link it is a video.. it was shot in my college with me and my friends... most of whom you will recognize! :) have fun watching the video and don't forget to vote.

now thts wht I call a vibrant discussion:)
one just has 2 vote.period!!!
this videa doesnt buffer all right. I ll watch it and then comment. OH btw, U look great :D
one must go for votes. if not to elect someone, atleast to prevent fake votes being cast in your name.
n its high time, the politicians realised that the state machinery n the electorate are not there to serve their needs, its the other way around!!!
even if one doesnt vote,it is very important to go to the booth and sign next to your name so that no one else can cast it in your name..
and i truly believe that we dont have the right o complain if we do not vote...
i mean you really cant criticise a book without even taking the effort to read it,can you?
I don't know much about the politics in India but, by listening to all that you and the rest of the people said on the video it is much like what is going on here in away.
I like how you spoke up for what you believed in...
Thanks for stopping by Tomato also!!
