Campaign...

Phat phat doom dooom...and a bigger one Dhoom..

Some absurd sounds and bursting of crackers were things that woke me up on the day of the elections. Some very artistic soul had plastered the compound wall of my neighbour with posters and graffitti.

Smiling ear to ear the candidates picture was seen all over the place, the tree decorated with garlands and posters, and make shift shack had cme up on the road which acted as the podium where the candidates addressed the public not more than 10 at any time.

As the candidate went through the campaigning he made it a point to include the loud noisy announcers too.."Itha ee vazhi kadannu varunu, niglude swantham sthanarthi_____ "

Parody songs, poll dramas and skits all were on display, election rallies were held at the make shift podiums set up overnight for election purposes.

Election goodies? Dint hear about anything being given other than "expenses" and "food and drinks".

The campainging nonsense peaked a day before the poll.

The smiles are done for next 5 years. Polls are over and there is no use beaming aimlessly at 'foolish common man' anymore.
Its dark and misty. No hope for a sunshine. Let it be. No one cares either.
