I did not vote

... and I'm ashamed to say so.

Forgive me my fellow countrymen for not fulfilling the most important responsibility as citizen of a democratic country.

This is the first vote that I missed since I turned 18. I'm 28 now, and a Non-Resident Trivandrumite. And that's what I have become.
