In India, when you go to vote they mark a line on your left index finger's nail and cuticle with an "indelible" blue/dark purple ink to prevent voter fraud. This stain doesn't come off for a few weeks. What I didn't know is that there are several other countries that have also adopted this election ink and in some countries they stain the index finger tip completely!
It's 11 am here rn and already the temp has gone up to 38 deg C. I'm so glad that we left early in the morning today to go vote for the Lok Sabha elections. At 8 am it was cool cloudy weather and we didn't have to stand in the queue too long 🙂
