Seeing my name in the voter's list was an excitement which was like India winning the world cup.I was happy and upset as they ( Admin guys for election ) messed my name :( , DOB,address almost everything expect my Dad's name.I planned my visit completely .
V Day came 16th April 2009
I got up 6:30 am with help of an alarm of course ;D.Asked my bro to drop me at the polling station around 7:30 am.There was one of this sweet n helping constable who asked" Aapne Sl no likhaya kya ? I was stumped as I thought realize the Great Voting Confusion has started.
I was directed to a small table outside the station for getting myself a SL no.The table was looking like an subzi market as everyone was confused and shouting .I asked one of the lady sitting for this process.
I want to have a SL no,She looks at me with a surprise as if I am an alien who came on earth to vote(I was the only north Indian ).She promptly helps me with the SL no.
I met my helping constable again.He says " Madam did you get it?. I smile and nod.He then direct me to go inside.The moment I get in I feel nostalgic.It was a similar feeling I had whenever i used to join a new school.U know you feel alienated and alone.
I ask a person where do I go for voting as there were 5 polling booth inside.He says Madam take the last booth.On my turn I go in.They put a long ink mark on my Index finger which looked pretty ugly .The lady must be a very spiritual as she marked ink symbol in shape of a Tikka :D .They hand over one white & Pink slip and the lady advice me to use the Ballot.
I search for the person on whom I did some research online .Press the button "Yupeee here goes my First vote in last 10 years :D.
Finally I voted
