Having believed in individual #rights and #democracy, the
#LokSabha2014 (Karnataka- April 17th) election was of some
importance to me…
The big banners and full size hoardings which are flat on
roads and footpaths today were then beaming up in sky all in style. Those
extravagant advertisements & awareness… Yeah! They had an impact on the
borderline voters who were in dilemma as whether to vote or not to cast their
precious votes, for the rest it didn’t matter much anyway. They had had their
decisions made already!
Coming to my case, not that I fancied seeing the polling
booth or getting my finger inked by an ink which claimed to be erase proof for
a certain days. No, absolutely not. All that I had while casting my vote was
totally a different picture. I probably was sincere enough to perform my maiden
voting, which is considered to be the duty of every citizen of this country and
hence make sure I become a part of World’s largest Democracy!
On the other side of the spectrum I had another picture,
big-picture- brighter than the previous one. We vote, we choose some candidate
from some XYZ party and then we rest in silence for the next five years, that’s
the routine. As a result we have cultured and nurtured political clowns. Some
with notes and some with strings attached.
I pity victims of my last mention though. :P
When I mentioned political clowns, I’m not targeting any
political parties, because all are equal thieves and all are equal clowns in
their own sweet way. The only difference we might experience by bringing in a
new party, rather non incumbent party into power is new entertainment, new
scams, new funny one-liners, and new clowns!
Now I guess I gave you all a reason why this maiden voting was
important to me. I did my best to get new clowns on board in near future. No
offense, I did my duty sincerely in my first attempt. Didn’t I? :D
New clowns mean new set of wholesome entertainment.
"All is Well When clowns set us entertained!"
