Palvi for Prez.Yeah rite.
hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaaha…i c-a-n-n-o-t stop lafing!
seriously?!seriously?!!! i mean….seeerriiooussslllyy?!!!!
here’s the deal : no,i m not contesting. i kno i kno…go ahead curse me n call me a cheapfuck…..LOL! but maaan,was it funnnnn!!!!!!!
it all started out as a stupid joke ovr breakfast…ok,maybe it started earlier—-u shud ask nil,my “campaign manager”. n trust me,it wsnt exactly planned…it ws the ”yeah rite”attitude the whole time…but before i knew wat was happening,i ws gettin calls n buzzes n msgs n wat not!…ya,a totally uncalled-for 60-seconds of hall of fame…jeez.
but as it strted spreading further n further…the hilarious part of it faded off—-coz believe it or not,it actually got me thinkin…
i look bak now…n think as to wat made me pull off such a silly,hack prank AND succeed ….i mean…a presidential candidate is not exactly a joke,is it? n thn i went a few days bak…n i smiled.in the current scenario of bitsian politics…where most of us wud rather go for “none” than a fairly qualified guy…yes,it is.n i suddenly stopped feeling bad abt the fact tht i didnt feel a shred of guilt for playing a smartass!
and yet,i owe a genuine apology to a bunch of u…i kno u wud’hv rocked it if i had filed my nomination.n hence i shall make this confession:
jus the way u believed me…in the exact same innocent,naive n honest way—-yes,i seriously did consider it…not to start with…but later on at 2 a.m. as i lay on my bed,wide awak,thinking abt this…coz trust me,even the phoney excitement of politics cn give u an astonishingly n unreasonably strong high…i zeroed it down to mere amusement—-but hey,even thts worth it!
i kinda felt taken aback to know how so few of my frnds know me real well…coz if u did,u wudnt hv bought this-atall.but thn,it also means tht u guys cn take any freakin bizzare thing frm me—-n i m jus gonna take tht as the highest compliment i hv ever gotten!
in either case,jus in case ur wondering…here’s why i didnt do it inspite of beliving tht i wud make a fine president if i wanted to (yes,i do kno wat i’m saying.)…
1.i dont believe in leaders:
i kno wat to do.so do u.n i respect both of us for tht.we dont need sumone to look up to or to follow.atleast i definitely dont wanna be the one.besides,the glamor of being “the one” is too empty n temporary.
2.i dont think support is sumthin to be “built” :
support comes from trust.and trust is based o competency. i.e. support is a direct consequence of competency…or shud i say “shud be”? so,ya,barter system seems irrelevant to me in this context…but clearly,as has been proved time n again,thts not how it wrks in today’s world.
3.politics can be fun,maybe….but there r better things to do :
a typically free evening (even if it is jus for the very few days of the peak campaigning time)—-i wud rather be reading “phantoms of the brain” thn be making deals on which base mite benefit frm baking me up…yes,i wud literally walk out of such a meeting if it bores me.
4.exorbitant cost :
inspite of all the above,i wud still grant it an honest n hard shot for the amusement…but time,mental peace,loyalty to my principles and my happiness r 4 things i m stingy abt.i dont think anythin is worth them.
so ya,i tried to frame it in a way it’d look like a manifesto coz sum of u wanted to kno if i ws done with mine…but again,i suck at formats—-i find thm too binding and pointless.
thts pretty much it…i’m not sorry if i sounded sarcastic/mean/harsh in any of my opinions…coz they r jus that—-my opinions…n i mite as well add,tht i do truly respect those of u who enjoy politics…afterall,to each his own.
but before i stop,i wud like to thank each of u…
1.for ur support in “popularising” me in a way i wud hv nvr imagined.(HA!)
2.for helping me to get in touch with myself in a way i wud nvr have…it truly revitalised my ideas abt wat i really care abt.
3.for a day-long laf i wud nvr forget…. :P …u gotta accept it ws awesome fun!
signing off,
Palvi…for nothin.
