Turns out my name was removed from the rolls. I guess the good folks from the Election Commissioner's office had checked my previous residence, found that I don't live there no more and happily deleted Sindha's and my name from the list. I don't exist, apparently.
Bah! This is the first time I've not voted, in the three elections that have passed since I turned 18.
Are you bangalore north or south? Which constituency?
ReplyDeleteCan't you get it fixed?
ReplyDeleteNorth. Varthur.
ReplyDeleteI could have, if I had tried earlier. Typically, I waited till the last day to find out my polling station and discovered this instead.
ReplyDeleteOh, he called me too, on my mobile. And Mr SM Krishna called my landline. Hung up on both of them - muhahahaha.
ReplyDeleteWhen Vajpayee called, I was in the loo.. so missed his call ! :) Then later tried calling back on the number - 011 30820151.. but he didnt pick up the phone !
ReplyDeleteLater realised that it was Vajpayee when two other friends got the call from the same number..
SM Krishna rocks. It is illegal in US/Canada to advertize/market stuff on cellphones. You can sue the guy if your cellphone provider co-operates and gives phone logs/caller ID logs to the cops. India has a long way to go ... :(
ReplyDeleteHelloooo granpa!
ReplyDeleteWaitaminute ...last time they lasted 13 months ..so umm..ahh Madav->UserInfo->DOB . *sheepish grin* 'etta' not even 'ungle'
That's strange. The same thing happened to my mother :)
ReplyDeleteThousands couldn't vote out here in Bangalore. There was a big hue and cry, some even calling for re-polls!
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of the former and given your super negotiating skills, we would be pleased if you ask for a huge corpus for the interior furnishing exercise ;p
ReplyDeleteOOh! Don't worry. You most probably won't have to wait for the full 5 years to vote again. :))
