Yup, that is awesome.

"I came to vote because wasting one's ballot in a democracy is a sin," said Mohammad Afzal, the first voter at the polling station in the Kashmiri village of Chainabal village.

Thanks for the heads up Thok!
And thanks for the pics Gautam! I don't know which made me smile more:
The enthusiastic faces of the voters...

Or the realization that elephants are still the best way to transport the voting machines...

I must travel that way at least once before I die. Smile

I really liked the photographs, Gautam. Makes all the excitement of the election very obvious. Thanks.
A question (that you don't have to answer if you'd prefer not to): What do you hope the outcome of the election will be? (if it's already been announced I haven't seen it yet, but can't imagine how it could, with so many millions of votes to count!) I'd love to get more insight on the issues that are important. Not much coverage here in Oz.
