Done.
Not quite. We’ve only just begun.
It was particularly exciting for me because this was my first time voting for a Lok Sabha election. I’d always been either out of the country or underage so far. (The polling booth ladies got their laughs when I unthinkingly said, “Mera bhai chaar sau bees hai”, but really, I was just referring to his voter registration number.)
Now to await the results and a government that we may need to flog into appropriate action.
And wait, I’m still not done. Today, I doff my hat to a gentleman who stood under the noonday sun, quietly, patiently, his body drained after 4 hours of being dialysed, just so he could do the very least as a citizen of this country. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my Daddy strongest.

I doff my hat to your daddy too! Truly inspiring. Many would do well to take a leaf out of his book and follow his example.
Good going girl!
Hats off to your wonderful dad, OJ.
Big awww for strongest daddy. Daddies do rule:-)
Off a manicure now after having seen your well-filed forefinger/ring finger?
Here’s hoping for some degree of competence in government.
Here’s hoping they do us proud and turn out to be non-louts.
Big hugs to your Dad.
I myself have sadness to report, after all the slogging to get registered, I’m still not on the voters’ list.
I see you kept your brother after all:)
daddy’s are always the best.
i hope he is doing well.
kudos to both of you….
Take a bow, OJ’s dad. Citizens like him, unfortunately, are very few.
I wish him the best health & the government of his choice 🙂
yep. like wj, am curious about why you kept your brother after all?
Yay for your father! 🙂
Nice nails btw
M4: Why, thank you, girl. 🙂
dipali: I think his bald pate might appreciate all the hats we’re offering. 😉 Been a while since we spoke. Must do sometime.
Mom Gone Mad: And here I was grimacing at how ugly my nails look. That’s my left middle finger. Apt in so many ways.
Parul: After the absolutely obscene voter turnout, we don’t have much to be proud of. 😦
wordjunkie: He was asking after you guys the other day. Come see him when you’re back!
sukanya: Yes, he’s doing decently so far, thanks. 🙂
Shivani: Thank you, Shivani. He’d balk at all this attention, but I’m sure I could convince him to take a little bow.
maidinmalaysia: He dug his heels in and refused to go. Mumbled something about inheritances and imbecile sisters.
DewdropDream: Are you ribbing me? 😕 There’s orange paint around the cuticle!
How come you only have a teeny weeny dot?..everyone else has this looong line on their middle finger.
And three cheers to your dad:-)
In love with my life: It’s my fabulous karma, girl. Or maybe because I provided them with some chuckles in an otherwise dull afternoon. In any case, it’s almost gone and I’m quite relieved.
