Whatever it takes !

When walking past the streets of Mumbai,u cant miss out the huge hoardings screaming for attention..Besides a huge party symbol lies a supposed to be a radiant photograph of a person standing for elections and a huge list of photographs around him of people whom hez blessed to be with..Every few years ,We the people of India are witness to the grand comic of all sorts called ELECTIONS ! Inspite of stringent election protocols,nothing's changed i guess..With elections around the corner,at every nook and corner ,the grand old loudspeakers honk out everything from the party manifesto to patriotic songs to just about everything to make there presence felt.The election warrants an extra supply of nutrients to people ,and ofcourse the extra dose of liquor which comes along wid it !Years after years this gimmick has being going around and many a innocent people have fallen prey to it..If this is the case with cities I really cant imagine the pathetic state in rural India..People have definately become more sensible but the fact that being just sensible is not enough...We urgently need a change in attitude..for starters do somethin abt this than just blogging !
