Grand tamasha!
The CEC headlines and the interesting cartoon alongside (DS: 26 June) are amusing. But I could not decipher who represents the desperate swimmer and the man-eating crocodile chasing him in the castle moat? The only thing very clear is that the CEC badly needs hair transplant, with the willing donor standing right behind him, landing probably by hair-raising parachute accuracy! May be the hair transplant will cool his brain and he can think coolly without guns or gums to stick to.
After all is said and done, our election is a grand tamasha of snakes and ladders; now with a few crocodiles thrown in for good measure! The party with the longest ladder of fake or firm (gummed) votes attains the goal! The rest are thrown to the snakes and crocodiles.
If dead people can apply in the voting game; what about unborn babies in the womb? The election game is posing interesting options and possibilities. Hopefully, the last will and oral declaration of a dying person should be a sure entry of his or her vote!
