VOTE FOR .....nanana... vote against..

This sounds really weird and preachy to me but it’s the ‘in thing’ as we say…
ELECTIONS I know the word is as tasteless as an over chewed chewing gum but cant escape it. As a matter of fact my last dream was all about elections and voting and I encouraging people to vote and all…btw I had another dream of a nice metro meetin…well that’s a different story. Coming back to the theme…as the nation decides its next govt. me as a soon to be adult am just too confused to decide the importance and real use of voting.
Well Delhi is still to have elections but with the trend set by rest of metro cities it looks like that there is not gonna be too much of voting here …reason being??? Reason being
‘who cares??” attitude in general and some set notions in particular…I mean people have conditioned themselves not to go for voting. All right they have their reason and I am no one to question them as each one looks at their reason as a genuine one and to be frank it’s a democratic country , and its their prerogative to either vote or not… . Nonetheless its great to see everybody making a sincere effort in making everybody realize the value of each vote .Loads of personalities coming up for the cause but the results were not good…people didn’t bother to turn up to cast their vote…it was like- by the personalities ,for the personalities and to the personalities….all u could see was celebs proudly raising their middle fingers posing for the camera to show that they voted…I mean surely all heads turned their way and people were excited to see the stars come and vote and expressions like’oye bhaisaab tune dekha aj ka newspaper...abbe wo inkalab bach-chalan and his whole family voted and were showing their middle fingers, mast tha yaar’were seen and I was more inspired by the owner of Calcutta knightmares who was so much conscious of his duties that he came back from SA and thus forgo to see another thrashing of his team just ….just …to cast his vote and …and,more importantly to attend a function for which he had been paid a hefty amount to dance and entertain the people there…that’s truly commendable, him being such a sheer professional …hats off man…
But the actual picture was dim ,dull with a voting even less than previous time showing this campaigning didn’t help. Its does not seem like democracy or maybe it is , of a higher degree – people democratically not voting..maybe they are right on their part…who isn’t? So no probs…….
