How many times have we chatted with our friends about the bad state of our roads ... how many times have we fumed over the untimely and long power cuts during summer ... how many times we wished we could do something to improve the current bad state ... but how many times have you thought that - 'I have not elected the leader of our constituency. but now let me elect my own leader and see if it makes a difference. when in school, I had the right and the privilege to elect my own class monitor, but now I don't consider it a privilege anymore to vote for somebody who will lead my constituency because I know it won't make a difference!' Yes perhaps you are right, not voting may not make a difference, but voting for and electing your leader _may_ make a difference. I mean, you have nothing to lose right? So what the heck, this time just vote and see if your vote counts and makes a difference!
To help you vote, jaagore.com has come up with one of the most fantastic websites I've ever come across. I think I can unarguably say that no Indian govt process is as effective as getting your name enrolled in the voter's list. The process is as simple as brushing your teeth:
Just logon to jaagore.com
fill up their form which would hardly take 3 minutes.
take 2 prints of the forms that are generated for you.
go to your nearest constituency and submit the form.
once done, you will be updated about your voting registration either online or through an SMS.
Has any Indian govt procedure been so simple?? So for those who haven't registered, please do like how I did today. At least appreciate the work done by passionate Indians who have given this movement the required momentum. Lighting candles is not the only way to bring a revolution... but voting is one way to bring a revolution.
So I am going to vote and elect the leader of my constituency. Hope you catch up with you in the voting queue on the D-day
Cheers!
Mihir
