Elections

I really look forward to elections; it puts some fun into the otherwise mundane lives of us villagers. Everybody has their version of conspiracy theories which are debated in tea shops. Political celebrities come out of their cocoons and pose for awkward photographs with filthy looking children and mothers, cartoonists have a riot, scandals, TV shows filled with sketches, SUV sales increase, polls, exit polls, politicians changing allegiances every other day, repercussions of the change, polls on that, lazily worded, often grammatically wrong slogans, election songs - the horrible tunes, the publicity stunts, Laloo, few people getting beaten up by the police, politicians going and seeing them, cheap sentiments, stats, news channels, newspapers, the actual elections, the stubborn stain - which you try to remove even though you know that it is meant to stay, the awkward silence, the results, the winners rally, the looser retaliating with small skirmishes, changing of allegiances again, stats, news channels, newspapers, more discussions at the tea shop, finally somebody gets sworn in.

We then cross our fingers and hope that the idiots we elected to parliament would make our lives a little better. Take charge, vote for a better country. Jaago re!!!
