The invitation. The election. The sleepless nights

"Give the importance it deserves" wise words coming from a wise man. But what people understand from these sentence are different interpretations indeed. While some think its about giving appropriate importance, others simply believe that the context is important. Hence finally the picture emerges where 6 B-school grads devote there 45 minutes to come up with a 6 line memo. And we are talking about "give it the importance it deserves".

As soon as the college election comes, the behaviour of people changes with it, so much so that you somehow begin to like some and hate the others, the ego clashes among candidates are as big as their aspirations. The glory attached to being accepted to be a leader in a place where everybody has the sole perpose of ruthlessly climbing on one another to be at the top of leadership level seems to play its part. I have seen college elections in two of the most prestigious institutes in India and both have their similarities and differences. While the regionalism is at a all time high during the period, so is the attempt to mask it when one approaches on the public forum. While on the inside people try to get as much as they can from regional sentiments, class unity and such similar criteria. The advice for the fellow candidates and open electorate always is to go for the "Right Candidate". The person as in should be genuinely capable and really interested in the nitty-gritty of job. He shouldn't be a persuer of glory attached only. What strikes me is that there are more than required persons of the capability here, but when it comes to interest, they actually change with time. The point comes back to voting for the person you know, Sadly though :(.

The sleepless nights , actually I can write a blog on that each night and stil will have thoughts to share , because most amount of time I am devoting in a day is on waking up in nights. Not studying or using it for productive purposes , just waking and thinking that its my utmost duty to remain awake, how can I be sleeping when rest of the poor souls in the campus are still crying their hearts out studying , writing memos and doing assignments. Just this thing keeps me awake. Anyways, now I have a task while awake, this blog :)
