None of the above

Sir, — George Bernard Shaw was invited to a play to review it. But he slept through it. When the playwright questioned the wisdom of his act, Shaw replied, "sleeping also is a review." Not going to the polling booth to cast one's vote is also an exercise of the "none of the above" option.

N. Balasubramanyan,

Tiruchi, T.N.
