Prologue

Welcome!

Ever wondered how could a tea manufacturing company come-up with an online voter registration website? There are glut of IT firms in India, many of those firms sit on huge pile of cash, and some of them talk more vehemently about their philanthropy, but still the work of online voter registration was left to one organization that has nothing to do with IT. Stark realities of the world :. Although it was not end-to-end automation of the registration process, the Jaago Re website has done the process so simple that the only work left to voters was to go and submit the form at the address printed. Literally no head-ache to find out what is the process, which is the form to be used, where to submit? I think this impact of Jaago Re campaign promoted by Tata Tea has gone unnoticed. And probably this is the reason the Jaago Re website has stopped the voter registration. Otherwise, the whole Jaago Re campaign has been widely acclaimed for its creativity and catalysis.

Anyway, now that you have visited my website, I hope that you have a great time navigating through the website. For the viewers, who have seen earlier versions of the website, there are quite a few changes. About Me, Friends and Guestbook sections have been removed. Poetry section has been cut down to hold only ten poems - five english and five marathi poems. For the first time viewers - no you haven't missed a great lot. Some of the interesting sections from the earlier versions of the website have been retained.

Three new sections have been added: Bumpffiti, Downloads and Links. Bumpffiti section contains the one-liners that we find at the back of various vehicles. Downloads section has some of the wallpapers designed by me. Links section has few links that you may find useful. Take your time to go through the website. I will keep adding new content to the existing sections and also new section. So do keep coming back!!!
