Well, to tell you the truth, I did not believe in voting - simply because I thought that the processs of elections is only to choose who will rob us for the next 5 years. But, lately, I have had a bit of a transformation, and now I want to cast my vote.
The change is in part due to the "jagore" campaign, and also because I finally got my voter's ID card made. And now, I find that I can not cast my vote, because I will not be in my city when the election is held there - I will be in Hyderabad - where I am not registered as a voter.
Makes me think, a lot of us are away from home, and some are also abroad. Shouldn't there be a mechanism for us to cast our vote irrespective of where we are. Maybe we can have an online poll, where you can login using your Voter ID number, and also a security question whose answer is difficult to guess, and then cast our vote on the date of election at home.
Don't really know if there is any option for people away from their home to cast their votes. If anyone knows of anything, please do tell me.
Before signing out, I would like you people to check out the video of "Shutup and Vote", the anthem of the jagore campaign.
This is Hashir, signing off.... (and hoping that everyone who has the chance to vote, does so).
Over and out
