I have not written an op-ed before but I decided to put down my thoughts after the much awaited Tamil Nadu election results. On April 13th, I was extremely thrilled to vote after a long gap. As I had been out of India for almost 5 years, my name did not appear in the voter list of 2009 parliament elections. I didn’t want to miss the chance this time and made sure my name was in the list. The day after the polling, I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of my fellow colleagues had voted and that some of them even travelled hundreds of Kilometers away to their villages to cast their vote. When one of my colleague commented that it didn’t matter whether Rama or Ravana rules (like the Tamil song which goes:Raman aandalum Ravanan aandalum enakoru kavalai illa), all others pounced to correct him.
