'VOTE' an idea.....

With the elections right around the corner, every second day we read articles and blogs on why and how and whom should one vote. We have been bombarded with voting appeals, rallies and advertisements among others. Bollywood with all its might, has come forward and asked the youth to finally get their index finger inked. Aamir Khan campaigning for the National Election Watch campaign and Shah Rukh Khan flying in from South Africa amidst the IPL Season 2 just to vote. All this shows increase in awareness among 'star' voters, which in turn encourages 'common' voters to vote too.

The word doing the rounds in these elections is - 'change'. But change is never easy, you fight to let go and you fight to hold on and we see a classic example of this as we watch the senior most politicians in our country taking digs at each other. What we need is no sound administration but a sound leadership. We often see people criticising our country is run but as they say if people start criticising, hurting and shouting - don't be bothered because in any game, spectators make noise.

Let's do it.

At this juncture, what matters most is that we vote. 70 per cent of our population consists if the youth. They need to think about life beyond their college and office gates. A system cannot transform overnight, and change cannot be brought about in a jiffy but efforts can be made to improve.

Our country has seen some of the gloomiest phases in the recent times, from fighting economic slowdown to taking a stand against terrorism, but has the common man come forward? Have you tried to make a difference? We can all be a part of a happy future, if we vote.

Vote not because you want the misery to end but because you want to start a new chapter filled with hopes and beliefs.

Vote not because you have to, but vote because you want to. Vote not because it is the need of the hour but because when the clock struck midnight on August 14, we promised ourselves a flourishing democracy.

Every vote counts they say. I say let us make every vote worth counts.

In my view, if you do not vote, you don't have the right to curse the government for the next five years which gets formed because of your not voting.

THE DOT ON YOUR FINGER IS HOT..... Flaunt it !!!
