We and melodrama

Saw this video. After this, if we (and I am speaking for Mumbai and Mumbaikars for now) record 40-odd percentage attendance at voting booths, will we then stop this whole melodrama?

We are so fond of chest beating and over-the-top reactions that we forget that these emotional swears and all are nice. But, if we want to effect change, first we have to be one, implement one in our daily life and be consistent in it to the point of making it an everyday activity and then speak that I did this and will continue doing so. We, the Mumbaikars have consistently proved that we don't care a dime for our nation and hence, I believe this melodrama and B.S. must stop immediately.

If, after the recent furore and all this melodrama, we fail to get past the 75% voter turnout mark; we will have (and rightly so) morally lost our right to complain and crib ..
