Its not uncommon to see primmed up fastidious young people mourning the state of affairs in India today. There are endless crib sessions about how the future of countless Indians lie in the hands of moral underdogs...The conversations have elements of serious concern ranging from poor infrastructure to the state of farmers in our country, from food prices and inflation to crime and injustice crippling our country, and just about anything one can think of under the sun....Ask some of those individuals about whether they exercised their most important right - voting - in order to undefile the debased political scenario, and more often than not the reply will not be in
the affirmative........There'll be a host of pretexts...and all you can do is sigh..
I think its high time we take a pledge...to not talk about swaggering politicians who do nothing except shovelling in hoards of money, when it is us who need some moral police...Lets not go overboard talking about our above average demeanor.....If we cannot be earnest enough in sparing 15 minutes to cast a vote....n if all that an election day means is another holiday then theres little point in talking about anything at all..
just a word from me ... greetings!!

Hey Prach,
Good to read your blog...
Strong post I must say...
Well I admit it, many of us havent voted... but what If we're not feeling so motivated to vote for anyone seeing all the candidates ? Do we vote for the "best out of the worst " ?
Hey chi, keep on writing. Waiting for the next blog ;-)
Yah. This is very interesting. One thing must be taken into consideration. Young Indians work all over india. Their name exists at the voter's list of their respective native places. So in order to vote they must go to that place, which may not be possible everytime. Of course there are other ways of voting, but a bit complicated. Time is another factor to go through all these complications.
