The Young Candidate (Episode 1)

Jagadish was quite popular in his Btech days, He was our College President.
When I saw him in Mtech after vacation, he came up to me, with a cheery smile.

"Hey Dhruv" he said to me.
point to be noted,he's my best friend.

"Hey Jaga, Have a seat at last" I said to him as we moved in to the last bench, when Bharth and Avinash arrived. he said something different which was awakening.

"I would like to meet Principal Madam" Jaga said.
"Why? " Avinash exclaimed.
"I thought of Standing for the council ward election" he said.
"Our college, haven't started it" Bharth commented.
"Are you speaking about our ward election?" I surprised.
"Yes" we three looked each other at fuddle, and Jagadish continued.

"I wanted to do something flavouring to society, I wanted to do be selective and noted, I don't want my life to be lived on my own self" he said and went out.

~•~

The next day he texted me to meet him in Basketball ball Court.
He's a smart guy, a gold medalist.
he's calm and lived his Bsc life soulfully.

I really wasn't so flabbergasted when he said about standing in elections, but winning is not an easy piece of cake.

"Hey Dhruv" he waved his hands while halting his bike in parking.
"Are you serious?"
"I'm" he said while chewing a gum, as he offered me one, I declined it.

"Winning isn't ensured" I remembered him.

"I don't want to win, I just wanted to try." he chewed the gum stronger.
"Trying in politics? you've are trying with people who are soaken in salt for long, you're new to this" I challenged him again.

"I know, people say this party doesn't do anything to them or that person is waste, are they mindful enough to change it? if I win I'll do my duty honestly, if I didn't, it's people's fault they lacked a dutiful candidate" his words smelt fresh mint.

I looked at Jaga, he was stronger in eyes and sportive in soul, I don't wanted to diminish his inner ripples of gut.

"I support you, and why you wanna talk with Principal? "
"I talked to her yesterday, I wanted to arrange a meeting"
"What she said? "
"She said yes, but she doesn't want to specific political party in nonsensical"
"Will you? "
"I do, but by her orders, I can't"
as we giggled we played basketball and went to home.

~•~

The meeting went well, he was handsome with vetti in white, formal traditional wear of Tamilnadu.

Many girls occupied the seats than boys, Jagadish spoke the Honesty, he got in heart, and it was mind Blowing.

"I would like to Thank the Almighty for this Knowledge and position I've been blessed within, I would like to Thank Madam Principal and Dean of Board Councils who accepted my Offer, Last but not Least, Our student presence, without you the world wouldn't be a joy to Rejoice" he smiled.

Some Claps where heard, he's a former president and his voice is deep after all.

"Elections are arriving, are we aware about it? We know it's coming but do we know how to vote it, DO WE KNOW IT?"

"We people are judging well, Sinners judging Sinners differently, We are ready to blame the leader, whom we choose, but are we aware to choose the correct one???

you choose the leader who wore jewels, who get off from an AC car and gives per person a 2000 to vote, and if you think they will work for our wealthfare is that fair? they will try to get back what they put in elections.

Vote the one who is true, your heart knows that, support the people who stands alone, even though they haven't won, if they see your support, they will protest and work for you, Peoples of the society needs to have brain, knowledge and awareness of it.

The Path I took is Determining, Still yet I Thrive my Best, Standing infornt of you as A Ward candidate, I would love to know your thoughts about me, you know me as President of this College, you know what I did to this College, if you ask me, Yes I did well, I tried my level best to do all this and that, And Standing before you to stimulate a change in Society, I would like to Have my Ward peoples around end of the meeting for some deep Analysis, hope you guys support for a change you're Striving to see.

We young India, need to vote a person knowing his or her background and not by their possessions they carry with, they don't going to give you a ride in AC car or buy you 10 Bunglow in different places,
for a true Nation, work on your own self, Thinking of corruption to get eradicated, don't be a part of corruption, you eliminate poverty don't create a thought of poor in yourself, Choosing a political leader isn't a fun game, if you choose one now for years we do things, let's your mind open up

Remember There's an option called NOTA in your list, Press it, if the Candidate are unworthy, Mainly support Young peoples like us to sprout and Work for you"

he winked.

Some girls whistled and the other laughed.

The Dean Members and Principal had congratulated him to the heartest.

I smiled and Prayed for his Success, Just by looking someone you know they are indeed and truly a good person, His Father the Head and Farmer of a Village, His Son Jagadish wasn't less.
God please make this Young Candidate Succeed.

India needs a Change on April 19.
