5 point something: Reasons why you may not vote today...

1. You decided to create your own long weekend away from Mumbai by skipping work on Monday.
    
2. You thought it was the weekend and were too hungover from partying the night before or were just feeling lazy to step out of the house.
    
3. You lied to your family or spouse that you were going out to vote but used the time to go see your boyfriend/girlfriend and ink yourself.
    
4. You were not aware that elections were being held in which case you should really go stay on another island, only this time make sure it’s deserted.
    
5. Contrary to other days when you believe that the world revolves around you, you decided that your vote really does not count.
