So finally Apr 20th arrived. This was my first chance to vote. And i was going to make most of it. I keep having this statement in my mind which says that - "If not now, its never". To be a bit more objective, i believe every moment is worth living for. Never say no or make a wrong decision just because you feel you can do a better job later on. So with regard to Elections '04, i decided to to do a bit of a research and profile the candidates in my constituency. Well, half my research wouldn't have materialised were it not for a bunch of my friends that meet every sunday. So anyways, i made sure my first ever elections remains etched in my mind.
Surprisingly i hardly came across anyone this time around who said he/she wouldn't vote bcos "it doesn't make a diff". I mean, what's the problem with the educated classes anyway? They are literate. They have the power to analyse and infer. But why the f*** do they have to act so lazy and haughty as though the country is doing them a favour in return. I believe that every person is a product of his/her surroundings and his thoughts are obviously affected by those around. So if you have to be proud of anything, it has to be the school you were brought up in, the college you studied in, the company you work for and the country that is giving you all this. Well, there are always difficulties and problems posed by the society. But then there are two choices that follow - Choice A: Take a defeatist attitude. Blame every one but yourself. cry over it and wonder why me? Choice B: Look at every step as a challenge. Another segment in the learning curve and fight! I've tried to live in choice B from as long as i realised choice A existed.
OK!OK! cutting it down into 4 simple words - "VOTE FOR YOUR COUNTRY"
Hey cracked nut, best wishes on your blog dude :) Dont ask me if I voted tho' ;)
