My first voting experience…

It started off on a really bad note… I had woken up late on the polling day and as soon as I did, was made to brush and chased off to cast my vote…As I reached the polling station which was just about a shouting distance from my home, the sight of serpentine queue of voters greeted me…Apparently the voting machine was not working….. HOLY S***!!!...Half heartedly I joined the queue along with others to participate in the biggest democratic elections, a month-long process expected to yield no clear winner to lead India …

I might be pessimistic but I just exercised my voting right out of moral responsibility…The likelihood of my vote mattering, is about as close to zero as you can get in this election…
