I was a little apprehensive about it.. Walking from KBR park to Mindspace is not a joke! And holding banners all along was a complete different level !! But i wanted to experience it.. Wanted to be a part of this rare walk.
The intention was to walk to work with banners carrying messages asking people to "JUST DO IT"... to go and VOTE !
We were just 5 people who started off the walk from KBR park at 7AM. The others kept joining us all along the way. We met like minded people at the starting point who were also working for the same cause. It was really fascinating to know this aspect of the world around me. There was a lady in a car who stopped by to take one our banners so she could put it up on the rear glass of her car :) I realized... There are lots of people who are enthusiastic about this big event! The elections !
It was a little awkward initially .. to walk on the roads this way.. wondering if people will laugh at us .. or mock at us.. But all this awkwardness disappeared for me when an INDICA car (a taxi) halted in the middle of the road for me to cross it !! These taxi guys never stop for anyone !!
It was a very insignificant walk for most of them.. but for me it has been the rarest experience of all..
a)For 3 hours.. I had only one thought in my mind.. a hope.. that lots of people will read my banner and atleast some will be inspired by it.
b)At the end of it.. I felt more connected to the whole cause.. It felt like i was a "part" of this system.
c) I was the only girl to finish the 8Km walk !!
I am hoping all of you will vote and choose a leader who will meet your's and the country's standards!
- Vote is our fundamental duty.
-Young India's plea.. Act friends,dont flee.
-Stop complaining,start voting !!!
