Election '09


Have a lot of things in my mind to pen down.
But I am restricting this blog to the description of a small experience, pre India election 09.

22 April, officially all campaigning for election 09 was supposed have frozen.
I was really tired, had got up late that morning and had to rush to office (was really late).
I had friend who was traveling with me. We had hired an auto to reach office at a reasonable time :-)

On our way, (Note, before I proceed further: Murphy says: "If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway”)
So, here we came across the stuff we dint expect!!


1. Election campaign!! - Which was not supposed to happen
2. Traffic jam (close to 1030 hrs, least expected to have a "traffic jam" at this time of the day),
It happened because of the campaign of course.
3. Crackers (madness) - All thanks to the folks campaigning. They laid down a 1000 wala bijli in front of the
vehicles and continued their march. And guess what, the crackers were right in front of the auto we were traveling in.


Well, the above points are digestible. But, there is one thing that got me fuming.
There were 100s (I really mean 100s of bikes and 10s of cars following the leaders van.)
Who says its recession....? Atleast not for these folks. Take a look at one of the pictures I happened to take.
