Here's a nice generic political message....






Nice to see a political message that is also so politically correct. Freedom, the essence of democracy is preserved; there is no mandate as to WHO to vote for!

I followed one man as he went to vote on Super Tuesday.

( you want to follow, too? )


After voting, the man came out of the dark church basement, wearing this sticker:





An important thing for us Indians to note...I was at no point of time asked not to come in because I was not a citizen, or prevented from taking photographs. I am SURE that in India this would not be the case. There would have been SOME "Do Not"s forced upon a non-citizen, especially one with a camera.


Adult franchise in a democracy....one of the most wonderful things that a free human being can think of.

...so, if you haven't yet, do watch "An Inconvenient Truth" , a documentary on global warming, presented by Al Gore. It's a scary documentary, no matter what he says about there being a message of hope.

Gore lacks the charisma of Clinton, but he comes across as a man of substance. If I had a vote, I would vote for him rather than the known Hilary or the unknown Obama...

And if you want to be right royally depressed, read The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai, the Man Booker Prize winner.

Expecting reactions to this...

As I could not vote last time ( my name was not found in my old constituency) I decided to register afresh on the Election Commission website; it's so convenient. You can register, too,if you live in Karnataka, at

Remember..each and every one of us needs to vote. The last time, a huge section of us didn't vote and that's how S M Krishna went and we got the pack of jokers who have let Bangalore (and the rest of Karnataka too) go to pot and pothole.

Nothing will keep me from voting this time round....
