Children too catch poll fever, play "vote-vote game"

The children have trespassed into the domain of the adults but their parents do not mind, at least in this case.

As the lion's share of reports in media, particularly television, and discussions among people in public transport and at home revolves around the on-going Lok Sabha elections, children take note and improvise it in their own way.

They have invented a new game - the "vote-vote game" - that they play in their pool car while going to or returning from school.

"Our parents say vote is very important. But we cannot vote till we grow up. So we are playing vote-vote game," said Samadrita, a 10-year-old girl who studies in class 5.

She plays this new game with her friends in the pool car - Trisrota, Nabanita, Ayush, Vidissa, Soumili and others
So, how is this vote-vote game?
