Vote! Show all the finger!
30 Apr 2009 I cast my vote early in the morning. Me, my mom and dad. Bijal (my wife) will be going later in the day. Although I and my dad voted for different candidates. We did exercise our fundamental right granted to us by the democracy.
And this time they are marking (very appropriately) the middle finger [...]
