Sveltering

Mumbai nowadays is sauna! Cant stay outdoors without dripping in my own sweat!
That can be a pretty good reason for low voter turnout on April 30th! I hate going out in the sun, but i did go out to exercise my franchise! And vola! My name was not on the list even though i had filled up the required form two months ago...How long does it take to register a voter in the neoghbourhood is beyond my grasp..And the list where i was searching my name could well have been the 1970booklet of voter's list! Scrambled, with no particular order of registration and no english version! (Here all govt. work is done in state language!)

Well! I came back walking comfirtably under my parasol and glares...And wondering when will democracy will actually become accessible to each and everyone without any hassles? Needless to say, my maid was quite excited the same morning because she had to go out and vote(because a certain political party had offered them quite a sop!)....She was registered and enthused....Her day to feel important and powerful because political leaders at these time come begging at their doors! Ego masssaging always works.... :)
