Beat the Heat.

The summer of Chintamani.The pictures says it all.

Rejection or Election

The response to the parliament elections was weak in Chintamani.People seemed to have resigned to the fact that nothing can change the state of their living and their voting doesn't matter.The turnout could be less than 50%.Chintamani did not see that usual excitement of the elections,not even the politicos seemed interested in generating any interest this time.The Bollywood film stars call for voting went waste.Probably Chintamani needed some local celebrities to bring about some awareness.Or, nothing will change-not even the public mindset.
