Voted for the first time!

Oooh! It was Election day across the State!!
Was desperate to make a difference with my '1 vote'!!

What is supposed to be our right, doesn't come easy in this country!

Though I had a Voter's ID issued a couple of weeks ago - albeit, I am a female according to that - it wasn't all that easy.
Our names were missing from the list ... as we were about to give up and return without casting our precious votes ... the guy at the counter noticed a name written in Kannada, but spelt wrong.

So eventually, Carmen & I found our way in and cast our votes for the first time. Didn't have a clue how it worked also, but I think we did it right!
Great feeling - yes, it is!

I was challenged by the fact that, as Christians we seldom vote .. but then we expect God to do a miracle in raising up a righteous leader!
So, though we had to wait in queue and run from pillar-to-post, we are finally there!

I think we need to be a bit discreet here in not disclosing to whom we had voted for - as that will land us in all sorts of trouble :-)

Let's wait for the final results on 16th May - i hope our 1 vote will make a difference!
