One day when you are truly alone

Today is day off in Ahmedabad for voting of the third of the four phases of Lok Sabha elections. The air is positive here, but not one candidate or party is fully convincing. Not one talks truly for understanding the culture, development needs or economics of the country, but the righteous media blare for everyone to go out and vote – either for change or for preserving values. They instigate to go and vote for political parties who are clearly speaking their own undertones. For a voter left alone in this democracy for a while, he doesn’t has a choice, except, ‘to vote’ or ‘not to vote’.
In my view, to vote means one hopes at least for either of the following –
  • To get some monkeys to represent and run the society
  • The new elected may be better than the last
  • To reduce the vote margin of a contestant one thinks truly sucks

Not to vote means the individual either –

  • Doesn’t cares, or
  • Doesn’t know who to vote for, or
  • Protests on the quality of contesting candidates and parties

If any of the bullets I listed above imply to you, so as to not to be alone I suggest you better communicate your stand clear when you either vote or you don’t vote. Its your choice, its your democracy. There is no silver bullet (pun).
