Day of the election

It's election day today, and like everyother citizen in TamilNadu, I am wondering whom to vote for. Everywhere I go, the buzzing term - Elections. Most of the ones I move with, are the first time, or second time voters, and the excitement is more over the mark on index finger, rather than actually voting people to power. And ofcourse, it's a declarded holiday, which is the actual cause of the festive mood all around. On the other hand, there is a more matured crowd, that talk about the history, and talk in depth, as to why one shouldn't come to power, and why one should.

There was a certain something which I am sure we all felt, when in Social Science class they said, "You are the future citizens of India. The power to change the country is in your hands." The time has come, we are the citizens of India, and I realize what generations of people have learn through the ages - At the end of the day, we vote, not for the people whom we want to hold the power, but for the people who we believe can cause the lesser evil!
