Today we made it to the front page. In The Hindu there is an article about the mayhem created at yesterday's President's debate. The Student Union President, in case anyone is wondering.
It is that time of the year. The student's vote for their representatives today. Some time later it will be the turn of the teachers. Only we are more sophisticated. We make it so that the representatives are elected unanimously. But more about that later.
To get back to the student's election, there is a genuine fear that this time YFE(Youth for Equality) might win, ending the communist monopoly. Last year, there was a fractured mandate with two posts going to SFI-AISA and two posts going to AISF. They kept fighting amongst themselves, wasting away the mandate given to them. It had been a close fight last year with YFE garnering all the votes from the Science schools. For some time it had appeared as though they had won but the Social Science schools ensured that the communists won. This year it appears as though YFE has made tremendous inroads into the Social Science schools too. All the posters from SFI-AISA are targetted towards YFE. Amusingly, considering almost all the YFE students are from science school and I know many of them, the YFE posters are all about drawing tables and pointing out the differences between them and the rest of the parties. It all appears so logical and thoughtful. I just wish they would apply little of that logicality when they are asked analyze their results. Maybe we need to change their Ph.D. topics.
My friend, Rohan, expressed relief that at least the ABVP threat has been nullified. I wanted to tell him that ABVP is capable of decimating themselves without any outside help. Just reading the Hindu article will explain why. Someone should explain to them that Lord Ram can defend himself, thank you.
