Note for future me: I'm writing all of this in mid-November because I feel bad about not writing a thing during my VA trip.
I might have admitted this earlier in this blog, but considering there's federal elections in Nepal ongoing, they recently had the local elections, and I have had aspirations for running in local elections myself, it's time to come clean. I have never voted in an election. The closest I got was in the 2017 cycle when I got my name in the voterlist and got a votercard, but ended up not getting the opportunity to vote. We didn't have elections during the two years I was eligible to vote and still in Nepal, and since then I've never been in the country during the elections. And obviously, they won't make it easy for Nepalis abroad to vote because my god what ridiculous situation that would lead to, right, such destruction, such awfulness! I've never had the opportunity to exercise adult franchise at any point in my life, and looking ahead I might actually never get to vote ever, in any local or national elections.
Sad, very sad, but what can one do. One can only play with the cards one is handed.
