Sanjay Kathar
Profession: BPO professional (currently unemployed)
Age: 22
On 26/11: Injured at Nariman House by grenade shrapnel while looking for his younger brother.
Voted in the last LS elections? No.
Did you vote today? Yes. My parents voted for the Congress the last time, but they haven't seen much change in their lives in the last five years. Moreover, it was the Shiv Sena that really took care of the injured during the attack at Nariman House. Also, I have been unemployed for the last three months and I hope a new government will usher in changes for people like me.
Anil Varan
Profession: Banker
Age: 30
On 26/11: Injured at Nariman House while throwing stones at the building.
Voted in the last LS elections? Yes.
Did you vote today? Yes. I was at my native place for the last three months, but have come to Mumbai to vote. There's a huge need to change the government in South Mumbai because our current MP only seems to care about taking care of his own class of people.

Did you vote today? Yes. What happened to us is unforgettable. We hope the new government will understand the woes of the public. Earlier we never understood the importance of voting, but now we do.
