Missed NOTA Opportunity

Every moment in life has challenges; and also opportunities.

Yes. Every moment in life has both challenges and opportunities.

Human being could perceive and may turn the challenges into innovative opportunities.

That is the nature of human being.

Somehow, nowadays, most of the human beings lost this nature.

Nowadays, human beings are loaded with knowledge; and the accumulated knowledge becomes a huge burden. With that burden, human beings couldn't effectively face the challenges and miss the opportunities.

Vishal had enthusiastically filed his nomination for the Dr. Radhakrishnan Nagar election.
Somehow, Vishal's nomination got rejected.

That was a shock not only to Vishal but also to all, citizens of India.

Vishal did go around and expressed his frustration in the media.
That was the right thing to do and Vishal did it.

After few days, Vishal could have explored opportunities.
Had Vishal found a good candidate with a character of integrity, Vishal could have campaigned for that candidate.

When Vishal couldn't find a good candidate, Vishal could have explored other options.

Had Vishal explored, Vishal could have found the NOTA.

NOTA had been the best option for Vishal.

Vishal could have campaigned for NOTA.
Vishal could have educated the citizens of India about NOTA.
Vishal could have trained the citizens of India to express their protest via NOTA.
Vishal could have effectively made a huge impact in the democratic process of India.

For now, 2373 is the NOTA record in the history of democratic election in India.
Perhaps, 2373 is the world NOTA record.

Vishal could have created history.
But, Vishal missed.
Vishal missed the opportunity.
Vishal missed the wonderful NOTA opportunity.

Once again, let us stop complaining about 'Cash for Vote'.
Instead, let us appreciate those 2373 responsible citizens of India.
2373 citizens of India didn't stay away from the election and didn't comfortably stay at home.
2373 citizens of India did turn the democratic process upside down.

Opportunity knocks our door only once; when we miss it, it becomes a missed opportunity; and it will never come back to us. We may get an other opportunity; but not the same one.

Let the citizens of India observe; sense; perceive; face the challenges; turn the challenges into innovative opportunities.

But, the effort; Vishal's effort needs to be appreciated.
Vishal, well done for the effort.
