The Vote!

I was really excited about the elections this time even though i'm not much into politics..

this was the first time i got to vote and it was an exciting experience!

i have to owe it to my father who made sure that our name was there in the list as normally either his name or mum's name is omitted from the list and they give some really senseless reasons as to why their names were  not there in the list!

I had initially planned to vote for an independent candidate from my state as i was very much inspired by his ideas and his really wonderful plans as to how he would make a difference in bringing about the 'Change' but sadly he was not contesting from the constituency i stay in so i had to vote for someone else who was a former personal favorite of mine...

Many of my friends on the other hand had their own reasons as to why they did not vote some of those reasons being-

their name not being in the list

they had other important things to do

they really dont care who wins and who does not win

they are not interested in all this

i was initially disappointed at their lame views about elections but then they have the right to choose what they want to so i had to just keep my disappointment to myself..

Anyways i am glad i voted this time and i only hope that most of us realize the importance of voting sooner or later..
