Cast my vote y’day.. Its not my first time at it.. done it a couple of times before..The responsible citizen i am but thats not the point here..It that black indelible mark on every voter’s index finget that catches my attention..

The sole supplier of indelible ink to the Election Commission of India is situated in Mysore. This 72-year-old Mysore Paints & Varnish Ltd (MVPL)  is one of the many industries started by the Maharaja of Mysore..

And looks like its just not the indian voter who has the Mysore ink on the fore finger but citizens from a list of other countries too..   Just another of Mysore’s contributions making its mark.. this time literally  :)
