Quickie Updates!

My Std.10 CBSE pass certificate proved to be quite useful,stigmatizing the Electoral Officer present at the South Chennai voting constituency into letting me enter even when I didn't possess the voter ID-card.I had harbored hopes that my name would feature in the voting list,thankfully after a lot of running around,the officer's forefinger found -
K.Dinesh Kannan
Age:18
The beep when I pressed the button against The Slate fuelled a sensation of satisfaction in me that Democracy was still alive even though it wasn't kicking.Frankly,I never knew there were only 17k intelligent residents in South Chennai,a commendable number of votes for an Independent candidate - Sarath Babu.
A popular website www.sify.com had this interesting 'Start your Party' election in which Indianize The World finished Fifth among 31 other parties.

Look out,South Chennai,ITW is here.During the L.S '14 elections,there are going to be 44 and not 43 candidates.:P
Mumbai's 'Enough Is Enough','Call for Change' campaigns after the 26/11 attacks remained confined to the lips as the electorate simply refused to step out of their houses.A mere 42 percent voter turn-out.Nothing short of pathetic.Cutthroat politicians and Danny Boyle will continue to survive, courtesy the remaining 58 percent Mumbaikars.
One needs to appreciate,admire and gape(that is all one can do)at the consistent growth of the number of politicians occupying L.S seats even while they are charged with criminal cases.
ITW's 10th post reads-
"a staggering 125 out of 538 seats in the Parliament, last term,were occupied by men who have been charged with criminal cases. The least that I long for is for that number to decrease."
Wishful thinking.An even more not-surprisingly,staggering 150 seats host criminalised politicans.Stiff fight though.42 from Congress and 43 from BJP.Look at the dirty competition.

With 500 bucks from my parents-

• I can entertain a club of five at Inox.
• Represent a Corporate in the Tribology T.T league and hopefully not end up as KKR.
• Play the fool and pocket it.

Guess what?One can actually end up with a valuable vote from an irresponsible citizen in the Temple City.What more?The same 'one' can rightfully stride into the Cabinet without the slightest of conscience.It runs(wheeled by)in the blood.What a sight - Shashi Tharoor amidst any other M.P and the Family Man in the Cabinet.

Brilliant,Congress.India is light years(or five)short of development.
