*No offense meant to anyone!*

Voting Time - My struggle

Election day - the excitement starts early in the morning; the day where the whole "responsibility" of selecting the right candidate for the country "overflows"!

MY Struggle!
*
FYI - In Karnataka, for convenience, we translate the common English words to Kannada by adding an extra 'u' at the end of the word.
For example -
'List' in English
'Listu' in Kannada :)
*

@ 6:30 am -
I with my family reach the polling booth (i know that's a little too early!!). We are reminded that Polling starts only @ 7.
Oops! we opt to go for a morning walk! :)

@ 7 am-
I stand in the queue. My turn comes, but people inside the booth say "Nimma hesaroo, listu nalli illa!! Alli hogee amma, number nodikondu banee!!" (Ur name is not in the list. Go there Mother, see the number and come back!)
FINE, we march back to the "booth help desk", to find our names and number in the list.

@ 7:30 am -
I start wondering when the list will be "Ctrl+F" enabled!
High time 'technology' is introduced in elections!

Unable to find our names, they say - "Aa booth nalli hosaa listu irrathe.. alli nimma hesaru irrathe nodee!" (In that booth, there will be a new list, u will find Ur names there!)

.. We March back. Again back in the queue. This time the Police fella recognizes and gives us a smile. My turn comes and Guess what! I get the same stupid response.. "Ur name is not there is the list!!"
Grrr.. !!

@ 8:00 am -
BACK HOME

@ 8:00 - 8:30 am-
Thought process - "haudoo, yaarge vote-u madodhoo??" (btw, whom should I vote for??) .. BJP naa, Congress-aa ?
Anyway no name in the "listu", what's the point in pondering!

@ 9:00 am-
One of the Help desk local guy delivers the identity number home. We again gear up and go back to the polling booth (Hoping it's the last time for this election!).

@ 9:15 am-
Same Police fella after seeing us for the third time - "Yenu Madaam, Innu vote-u haklilvaa?" (What madam, still haven't voted?)
Me - "Aiyo, Innu Illa, Ivaage number sikthoo.. !!" (Not yet, we got our numbers now!)

I enter the booth..
Polling-Booth-Fellow(PBF) - "Yenamma numberoo??" (What Mother, whats Ur number??)
Me - 1149
PBF searches, finds 1149 (Ah At last!!) BUT, it was some grand ma's pic.
He raises his head, adjusts his spectacles and sees me to see if the grand ma's photo matches with mine!! :|
PBF - "Nimma hesaru illamaa!" (Ur name is not there Mother!!)

OH GOD NOT AGAIN!! :|

Back to Help desk
Me - Yenu idu, tirga hesaru illa anthatre avaru!! (what is this, they again say our names are not there in the list??)

Help desk fella to his assistant- "Nodu rajaa, avara hesaru sareege hudkoo (See my King(dear), search their names properly) .. aamele card kalee beda chinna (and don't lose the card, My 'Gold')

In the mean time some other Help Desk fella - "Madam, Nimma hesaru sikhtalva.. bere booth nalli idde.. 66 alla 67 booth-oo" (Madam, we got Ur names already, its in Booth number 67 and not 66!!)

9:30 am-
I go in, I vote. That beep sound which had scared me Last time, didn't bother me this time!
2 hour struggle to get my index finger coloured with the blue ink..



Sigh!

Turn-off Factor

It's been 5 minutes that he left my place.
But I still feel his presence. Wonder if its the centralized AC which
makes me feel that way or just the stupid nose of mine which is not letting go the air it breathed just few minutes ago.

'He', my colleague just walked over to say the final Good bye before quitting the company. Everything was fine until he opened his mouth. I literally had to push my chair 4 feet back from it's original position. The gush of wind can have so much of an impact.
BAD breath !!
God! It's such a turn off factor!!

How can one not know how to brush properly ?? Is it the lack of Dentist camps in school days which make people careless ? or is it simply laziness ?!
How can the 'close' friends, parents, relatives choose not to complain ? Don't they find it disgusting?
If not them, who can really tell them that they need to see the dentist IMMEDIATELY for a clean up!?
Gosh!
God Bless ALL.

PS.
Did Sleeping beauty have the habit of brushing twice?!
I'll assume she did; otherwise Prince charming wouldn't have cared, dared or even risked a kiss!

The ink on my finger!

At last!
I used the right i have been gifted with - 'The Right to vote' ! :)

Like any other first time voter, i too had my apprehensions about the procedure of voting. I had questions like -
- How to vote?
- What's the procedure?
- Which button to press!?

I felt like a child. It made me feel as if i was standing in a queue for an exam or a viva voce..!
But at the end, except for the looooooong beep from voting machine which made me feel a little scared, rest all turned out to be simple and fine.
(Now, that was because i had pressed and held the button too long)
:D




.. the ink on my finger fades away but i wanted to put here for rememberance.
Love.

ps.
Have u voted?
Write to me if u need some coaching classes on that.
It's absolutely FREE !! :D

What Guys should NEVER wear ! ;)

/* The post is dedicated to all men who consider themselves "Metrosexual" (blend of metropolitan + heterosexual) * /

Oops, I can’t stop myself from using /* */ for comments!

The giant search engine helped me in listing the individuals who consider themselves metrosexual (one who spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle). The list not only includes personalities like David Beckham, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, (now how about some ‘Desi’s here) SRK, Manish Malhotra, Upen Patel… but also Donald Rumsfeld (21st United States Secretary of Defense).

Looking good is really good - it depicts ones personality .But, (there comes the but!) as men join the race to “look good”, few of them mess up as they dress up. I am NOT here to highlight what one should wear, but what one should NEVER wear! ;)

• The “Flowery” shirts: or call it Floral shirts! Who (the hell) said it looks good n trendy?! (That person needs some serious counseling :P) It's just good for the "Go-Goa" mood!

• Oh “Pinky”! : So what, if Saif Ali Khan flaunts his pink shirt ("Salaam Namaste", refer Bollywood)?? A man getting facials, manicures, and pedicures done is "Okay" BUT wearing pink?! Trust me dear ones, it suits guys more in reel life than in real life.

• Body hugging shirt: Let it adorn the body with curves ! If u don’t have one, try something else.

• Jhataang” Colours: AHH! One needs glasses to protect their eyes from the glare that’s caused by these “Jhataang” (flashy) wears. People who wear such colours (Fluorescent and its combinations) should be FINED!! Seriously!:D

• Red/Yellow Pants: I think here, I need some counseling. Why only red/yellow, when u have a wide range colours available?!

/* Will keep adding as in when I find men - who inspire me to write :P */

Now after getting those "valuable" tips (oh crap!), if you have decided to follow actor Salman Khan (wearing Nothing at all? OH NO!), I’ll have to come up with - “What Guys should wear!!" (This surely will be a disaster!) ;)

Take Care!
