It is Dhanesh's voting experience. We took him to the near by school, yes that is where the people were listed to cast the vote in our area.
Dhanesh, does not like going to school as most of kids, but as it is for casting vote, he came happily. He was firing questions to me and his grand parents.
On entering the room, he asked in loud voice "are we going to vote here only". The polling officers who were busy at work, just looked up and again started to work.
We replied to Dhanesh as "yes. keep queit". But he was not able to keep quiet. He then asked again , "how to vote?" We then pointed the desk where the voting machine was kept and told, we will cast vote there and he has to keep quiet till we leave the room.
My mother voted first, me second and my father next. Dhanesh was with his grand father.
On returning home, we asked him, how do we vote.. He replied as below.
"There is a machine and we have to press the button. Red light glows and then a sound comes in as piiiiiiiing.. he thought for a while and then told, they kept black ink in the finger."
For a three year old boy, he can not understand the purpose of the election and the voting. He will know more during the next election.
