My middle finger

I made use of my middle finger as did many others in India. Yes! I went to vote... and the entire exercise wasn't all that taxing given the fact that it was a holiday in office... i realized that most of the times, all it requires is a little bit of perseverance from our side esp. in states like Maharashtra where Govt bodies don't completely shy away from their duties.

I voted for an independent candidate. I ain't sure if he would win but the fact that in the last Generl Election he managed to get 60,000 votes does make me hopeful. The national parties not giving ticket to such candidates is the reason why we don't have enough honest people representing us. An inner feeling - i don't want this indelible ink to go...
