Went
early to vote this morning as I did not relish the idea of waiting for half an
hour in the hot sun to vote for some undeserving fellow. All of them are
undeserving but I have to vote for the best of the worst. I did.
I had
reached there by fifteen minutes past seven hoping to be amongst the first few but
there were already about twenty five people in the queue. People smarter than
me. I stood in the line mentally preparing to be there for at least forty five
minutes (Based on my past experience). Pleasant surprise. I did not have to
wait for more than fifteen minutes. The line moved very fast, I was done in no
time and I came back wondering at the orderly conduct of polling and the
efficiency of Election Commission of India.
I
had been following the exchanges between the ECI and the West Bengal chief
minister for the past few days and had noted the audacious statement of the CM,
WB. It was gratifying to read that she had to bow down to the ECI and follow
orders.
We
hardly have any institutions in our country worth being proud of. I feel ECI is
one. A big LIKE from me for our Election commission.
