Democracy 40 %

40.66 per cent voters cast ballot in Pune, my hometown, yesterday.

(I too voted.)

Our 90-year-old neighbour returned from the polling station without voting. His booth was on the first floor. He didn't mind climbing the staircase, but it had no railing.

Where were the 59.44 per cent?

No, it wasn't hot. Not by summer standards.

We deserve our Pappu Yadavs, Kalanis and Sorens, really.
