Debkumar Palit, 81, plays a mouth organ on his way out of the polling booth at Bhagabati Devi Balika Vidyalaya in AE Block as 11-month old Aarya Manna listens spellbound in her father’s lap. Gender benderWhile others took umbrellas to the booth, Suranjan Bonnerjee contemplated taking along a sari! As he waited, the Insas rifle-bearing guard spotted an elderly voter joining the queue with a packet of sweets in hand. “I am worried about him eating up my sweets,” the elderly man protested, making others in the queue chortle. The security guard stepped up and assured him that it would be he who would be responsible for the sweets.
