Hah! Politics and Life…

Running in an election changes your life in so many ways. You learn so many new different things and it is a very interesting experience, atleast it has been so far. I’m going to briefly list a few things that I’ve learnt so far over the past week about life in general, they may be true or not but these are just my personal opinions –

1. There are 3 types of lies in the world – lies, big lies and statistics. (Yes, I know am a statistics student and that is why I can confidently state this)
2. Democracy is a flawed system. (Yes, I come from the Worlds Biggest Democracy but its the truth)
3. The average man doesnt care about who leads him as long as he can live his routine life. (Maslow’s Hierarcy of Needs)
4. Getting people involved is easier said than done. (Having run around half of the campus, trust me on this one)
5. Posters dont win elections, getting out there and talking to people does. (As Big T said)
6. Taking sides on an election really separates the real friends from the moochers.
7. Elections bring out the best from the candidates. (You would never believe the number of hidden talents that come out)
8. Winning takes real hard work and pretending to work just doesnt work any more. (The Hyderabadi Chalta Hai attitude fails in this aspect)
9. Women are crazy. (Dont ever try to understand them)
10. Dont ever trust them^. (They can make you feel like the happiest person on earth one moment and wish you were dead the next moment)

I believe I cannot campaign for the elections here so I can only redirect you towards our Students Union website where you can learn much more about it.
