  Barefoot walking Luscious mangoes and melon Cool curd rice Lassi and juices Plain water and showers With the blessing of a fan and aircon I love summer..                

Election carnival

I love the election time. It is like a  fever hotting up, a carnival where everyone can participate.It is also the only time when the common human feels important. every vote matters. Yes it is like choosing between the devil and the deep sea. But there in lies the excitement. At least if we vote we can criticize without guilt! I voted today. It was refreshing to see the police doing their duties with care and commitment. A politician's car was effortlessly removed from the vicinity. This is the only time they feel empowered! Lot of care was taken towards senior citizens. I enjoyed taking my father to vote. To see him so duty bound and committed to voting, in spite of him having difficulty in walking, made me so proud. Above all the lack of traffic and crowd made driving so heavenly... Now to follow the counting.. and the news ... loving it.

You do not lose anything. 4. Each one's values are different. Your personal likes and dis
