The Statue...

Steadily gazing, over the rolling sea,
All alone in the shade of a solitary tree

He faces the west, with sightless eyes
Standing still under the endless skies

Democracy...

Elections… a cause of so much clamor in all cities, a source of so many arguments among all who can think, the big day for all politicians and their entourage… and a major nuisance… to me.

I finally became eligible to cast my own vote this time around… something that caused unwarranted (according to me) excitement to my parents. I had first decided not to bother… choosing instead to sleep in on a holiday, a far more enticing prospect than casting one vote that would change the nation….
