The last decade and a half of Indian politics has taught me that all
this is indeed true. The only change I'd make is in the first sentence -
'Whoever wins, it would be relatively ok, most places, most of the
times'. As for the rest, well while I have accepted it, it is still too
dispaasionate a position for me to take during elections. I am always
excited from the night preceding the elections until the announcement of
results. This is the first time I have ever been excited by a non-Indian
election though. :)

And on that note, could somebody be kind enough to let me know when the
voting starts and when the results are expected, preferably in GMT?
Thanks. :)
