CASTING MY VOTE.......

Today was the first ever time that I had cast my vote. I was pretty excited this morning when I found out that I could vote because until last night I thought I couldn’t since I did not get my voter id due to unknown reasons.
But I was a little disappointed when I came to know that my voting booth was in the same school I had studied for fourteen years. I was looking forward to go to some other new place. But at least I could be thankful that it wasn’t in my college.
My parents decided to go in the afternoon to avoid the crowd and queues. Just as we predicted the place was quite deserted and there was no queue at all in the room in which I had to vote, which has also happened to be the same class I studied in second standard.
I was so damn excited about voting that I had a big toothy smile plastered on my face throughout the whole procedure while they were verifying the details and applied the ink on my finger ( I was actually planning to apply the ink mark myself in the occasion of not being able to vote, thankfully such a situation did not arise).
And finally came the best and the most awaited part of all, casting my vote and fulfilling my duties as citizen. I took my time to check out all the symbols and rating them on how cute they were. And finally after making up my mind I cast my vote. It felt so good that even the beep sound came to me like a melody. I could not stop smiling all the way home. Everyone would have thought that I had gone nuts but who cares??? I am a very proud Indian exercising my duties as a citizen for the first ever time.
And now, I can’t help flaunting my index finger now. I am so proud of myself that I want to show it to every person I meet( blogging about it was another means of show casing my pride, hence this post). I have also started checking out every ones index finger for the ink mark and gain an instant superiority complex over them in case of the absence of the ink mark. Im gonna end this post as a very very very proud Indian citizen.
