Nothing to my credit, but i happen to belong to the most talked about constituency of Gujarat... for outsiders...it's the Gandhinagar constituency....of the 17-18 candidates in the fray, the most happening ones happened to be L.K.Advani, Suresh Patel( from the Congress Party n representing the Patel community, n wanting to cut into the 'patel' votes of Advani....who really cares, not me...) and and....Dr. Mallika Sarabhai(does she need an introduction from me or does she???).....
Arre re re....i've got into the wrong side of things, as usual....i've swayed away from my very purpose of writing this post....it's been 4 days tht i voted, but this stain or mark (or whtever it's called) on the index finger of my left hand is just nt getting lighter (rubbing n rigorous use of soap hv not helped), n it was so very half-heartedly n uglily done by 'the madam' who was assigned this job tht she din't even care tht some of the 'ink' trickled, found its way n spread into the fold at the junction of the nail n the skin.....not to blame her completely.....some of the blame to be shared by the maddening heat (the temperature was a soaring 43*C n it was 2 in the afternoon, wht (in)correct time on my part to choose to vote)...... an indelible mark for a very delible act....irony,irony....
i'm forced to sing, "Laaga ungli pe daag, mitaon kaise?"...but the histrionics n expressions r just nt coming...eeeks......
Nevertheless, i'm an eternal optimist, n as always, i see the brighter side of things......having my finger stained, i'm suddenly in some august company, i'll let these pictures do the speaking......
interesting photostream..whatsay guys?? this has been the most picturesque of my blabberings so far... if ur still wondering who the man in the brick orange shirt is, it's me.....hmmm....i've dared to place myself amidst these stalwarts(it's perfectly ok by me to daydream, kya harzz hai).... it's a fad to flash ur finger in this season of elections, wht's the harm in joining the bandwagon....lol....
if the mighty Bachchans n Aamir chose white, Hrithik sported blue n Shahrukh grey, Ranbir flaunted pink n John (probably) wore a shade of mauve, i had to look different...but this is just a blemish of a difference.....the bigger n the more important difference is - while all of these were seen brandishing their middle fingers, it was the index finger on my part....reasons could be any...take a google search to find out....am already feeling worn out writing this post.... so i'm the most decent of 'em all, 'coz all of us know wht it means to flash ur middle finger....chhi....
while typing this post, time n again, my attention gets drawn inadvertently to this 'daag' on my 'unglee'....n i'm forced to think tht it shall fade away in time, but wht 'bout the 'daag' tht our 'netas' hv given to the country, shall it ever get washed away?? Not surprisingly, many people refrained from voting n getting their fingers' stained 'coz they din't know whom to vote for....sabhi to 'daagi' hain....
