Why does this film leave out the lakhs of citizens who live in Gurgaon's semi-urban villages? Are they not part of your vision for Gurgaon's future?

@artijaiman Simply targeting where the message is required. The semi-urban and rural citizens have near-100% registration and a very high voting record.

BTW, I hope you are planning to vote!

@subindergmail Subinder, I happen to have a fairly flawless voting record since I moved to Gurgaon 18 years ago, a time when Gurgaon was more Gurgavan and less the supposed Millennium City that it is today. My work focuses on marginalised community groups in Gurgaon -- be it local villagers or the lakhs of migrant workers who live and work here -- hence I found the video very limited. But I agree, if it is aimed at "people like us", I guess it makes sense.

@artijaiman If we have more people emulating you, we would all be a lot better off!

Great effort, and it will surely show positive results. With all the folks who have only recently adopted Gurgaon as their new home city, some help and direction on how to get themselves enlisted as residents would be great. And an end-note on the polling days will help in people know when they have to get their vote cast. Have not seen any announcements.
