Homo Politicus by Tirumal Mundargi
"What a voter?" Homo Politicus said, garlanding the departed voter,
wiping his tears off.
"What type of voters you like, Homo?" I asked.
"I like elephants."
"Type of voters you don't like?"
"Techies are empty bottles."
"Why don't you allow them to vote online?"
"I'll try during next famine."
