VOTE
SO i did it...I voted...i knw i havent done a very "out-of-the-world" work....but yes,i voted today.It took me no more than 3-4mins to reach the booth as it DAYANAND School isnt more than 100 mtrs frm my home.But there was a feeling when i began to walk from my home to the booth....a sense of responsibilty towards the country.
I realized that its a democracy for sure..nd my vote wont matter to the one whoz gonna win(or loose) bcoz if he wins he wnt thank me that i voted for him...he would never knw i was there at the booth to support him....neither he wud care if i have complaints regarding the atmosphere of faridabad.......but still i voted.
If i had done nothing....just given it a thought that my vote wont work....then i would have stayed home....just like those 50% who might have thought this.....nd said to themselves......."we know nothings gonna change...so y care"...
So it wasnt a good feeling to see no people like me........no 22 year olds...or even 20....my frnds are not interested....PUNEET never cares....MOHIT thinks its a waste.....nd RAJA is too busy with his girlfriend.....only one person that i was happy to see vote was DANISH.....he might have not voted for my party but i was happy he did vote.....to ne1 he liked.......but the thing is ...HE VOTED.And "T" too..........i know u voted.
I wasnt much surprised when MUMBAI did nt vote........they have always been indifferent....26/11 was a fresh issue till it was forcibly cooked.......so that it remained fresh.....nd as soon as the cylinders ran out.........MUMBAI was back.
Yes i know it wont matter much to the country.....one will go the other will come.....but at least the former will leave with open eyes........guys.......at least we can show our grudges to the one who did not work for us...........its we who give them that place........we can put them down too...
I dont know when we would realize this...........the thing that hurts me today is my friends dont care....their personel lives are much too important for them.....nd they think m stupid that i voted...
I may be......yes.......i am.....but what are you guys........irresponsible citizens...at least i am stupid citizen but not ignorant.
So this mark i have on my left finger.....is something i was proud of today.....i have shown it to almost every1 i came across........even to the ones i didnt knew at Crown Interiorz where i was the whole evening...but i showed it with pride.
I liked when every1 was looking at me at the polling booth bcoz all around that place were uncles and aunties.......nd i think they looked surprised when they found a boy..coz i cud find none.
(I knw i still look 18...so they must be adoring me......hehehe).....and as i always say to ALOK........my colg frnd.......thatm not 22....i am 18 years old with 4 years of experience.
But thats another thing....self praise........i am here to write my First tym experience of VOTING...it was mixed.....my voter card never came to home.......nd still i go the court to ask for it.......nd they say its being distributed.......its been 4 months.
So i voted with my PAN card as my ID proof.....nd i was happy to see the EVM...nd hear its beep when i pushed the button in front of "HAND".
But as i said....i found no youth....and it was pretty bad....no pretty gals who can hang around in one or the other malls shopping and no smart boys who burn their petrol thinking its a great deed to show off their bikes.........come on guys.......where are you when you are needed???
So as i said it wasnt a great work i did but it was kind of a lesson.......something which tells the inner thinking of INDIANS........i used to think we are much of Regional lovers than country lovers.......but today i realized we are not even that.
So i have some ideas now........i hope life takes me at a point where i can ask a great chunk of people to at least vote..my first target will be my ignorant friends.......
Someday change will come........we just need to bring in that "someday" one step closer.....everyday.
