VOTE.....MCHHHH...!!

Elections are around and there are still people roaming aroudn the post offices and the e-seva centres. they are not sure if they will be able to cast their vote atleast this time. there is a lot of confusion every where and there are leaders who are not concerned about it but then come and ask for the vote.

where do they vote from if they are not having one?? it is the situation of many of the voters today. why take the case of any other? your blogger here doesnt have her vote. yes, i dont have my vote. i have applied first in the year 2007 and from then, i have been waiting for it. on the whole i applied for the Voter ID card for three times, but then today i dont have my vote to cast. atleast i dont find my name in the voter list. when i ask my post man and find out in the central PO in hyderabad, they say, they are concerned with only the votes of those who applied in the post offices. if this is the case of someone like me, then how about those live in the rural india? who is gonna give the answer to the questions of people like me?

the other day, there was a live program with the Election Commissioner on phone in a news channel. i called him up and asked about how do i get the problem solved. he asked me to check out in the nearby post office. when i did the same, i was told that they are not at all concerned about it. what do i do now?

the problem is not about not having the vote. it is about the administration. if the government is not concerned about the voted that they require, then what is it gonna do with the problems of the people. this is not the case of the present government. this is the case of every governement that is competing today to grab the power both in the centre and the states.

i accept that i am not the only one whom the government is concerned about but i say, i am not the only one facing this problem. if it cant solve such a small issue then what do we expect to get from them once they get the power they are fighting for??

to me in feel, the voter cards should not be a termly process. there should be an office setup like for the passport, where the citizen is free to go at any point of time and get the name listed as soon as he reaches the ge of 18. if this is the case, then may be the problem can be solved to soem extent. what do you think?

GENERAL ELECTIONS 2009

It has been a long time that I didn’t post here in this blog. Was a bit busy with the last days of the college and the series in the main poems blog. But now, I am here with a series too.

Since independence, there has been a special place for every General Election. But, today these General elections have changed a lot. So, this is gonna be my series. I am not sure about the number of days I am gonna do this, but then I find this to be the right place to put up the views of me and my Dad on the current politics which is the topic we mostly discuss these days.
All the issues stated here are purely the views of two citizens of india, and I request not to take anything to heart and get against to my blog and this dear friend of yours. I accept all the views of yours too..!!!

Starting the series, here I am with the general topic.
There has always been a good competition between all the candidates at every place. There is a lot of campaigning done by the contestants. There is a lot of money distributed to the voters. There is a lot of tension all around. But there are some questions to be answered.
What are these elections for? Just to transform the power from one party to the other? I feel the same. Every time a voter goes to the polling booth he expects the leaders to do something for him. But then he doesn’t think about how many times he is cheated till then. There are nearly 714,103,070 voters(according the EC) and almost every voter thinks the same.
Will the leaders think about the people in their span? Seriously yaar…people who are more concerned about the retrieval of the amount that they spent during the elections, how can they think about those who are in need of help? There are some candidates who hardly know about their own constituency and how do we expect others to think about the people?
Will they ever put up their promises? I don’t think so. There hasn’t been any candidate who put up his promises after he is elected as a minster.
Even though all the questions here remain unanswered, we still think of the better country and vote for the candidate. We always complain about the dirty politics ant the dirtiest leaders but then, elect them with a hope to see the better country .

Don’t miss the series here. Some more hot topics to come up with the views of a normal citizen of India.

THERE, NEVER BEFORE...!!!

hello friends.....i am being very busy these days that i hardly get time to write an article....so here is my first ever short story on fiction...i had had an experience of writing love stories, writing problem raising stories, writing fantasies but this is the first attempt on fiction...i dont know if it is good but i thought i will let you people judge me..!!!

*************THERE NEVER BEFORE*****************

A sudden thunder woke me up and I could feel the cool breezes flowing outside. I switched on the light but there was no power. I was afraid of the darkness, adding to it were different sounds heard from outside. I managed to get up and move out from my room, but nothing was seen except the darkness. I counted my steps, was a pass time when I was alone, and went to the candle stand that was standing near the staircase that leads to the main living room. I lit the candles and took one of it by hand and carried it to my parent’s room. The way was all dark with a small light, but still I found it different now. The paintings on the wall were different; the furniture is changed. It seems like everything changed with just a power cut.
I knocked my parent’s room but there was no answer. I thought they were still sleeping and so opened the door myself. I could not see the room properly as the candle light was not just enough. When I managed to see, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My parents were not there.
I was shocked and couldn’t think about what was happening. In that colossal building I was alone and moreover, I didn’t know where my parents were. I couldn’t stop the tears rolling down my eyes.

I went back to the living room with the same candle in my hand, but couldn’t think of any place where I could find my parents. While this was squeezing my brain, I observed that the objects in the living room are all scattered. The fear rose in me and I was unable to move. Suddenly the candle blew off.

I wanted to shout for help, but couldn’t do it because of the fear that blocked my throat. I wanted to call my father’s mobile and so got up from the sofa and started moving to the phone that’s there near the stair case. On my way, something struck my foot, I was taken aback.
It was a wet palm and when I shook it, the sound of the bangles tensed me. I couldn’t think whose it was but was having lots of doubts in my mind. I then again started counting my steps back and went in the way of the other candle stand and lit one candle. I hurriedly brought it to the place I was standing a moment before, I could see my mother’s sari with some red stains, and I then hurried the candle to the face. This made the candle get blew off once again. I went back to the place I got it and lit it once again, this time I could feel my heart beating very hard, and my hands were shivering. I went back to the old place, to see who it was.

The light was just on to the face, by then I was almost confirmed that it was my mom but still wanted to assure. When the light was getting on to the face, my phone rang.

Then I realized this was all a dream.
