DPS Democracy Zindabad (??)

Hi guys, I’ve got something real new for you people today.

DPS, Bokaro is now a proud (read: swollen with pride) egalitarian school. And I mean IT! You know voting and all?

Yup. This time our school had the voting system for the first time in our school’s history of selecting (read: electing) the appointees. That is to say, we, the students, voted for our favorite candidates who stood up for the election to be Head Boy/Girl, Vice Head Boy/Girl, Cultural/Literary/Sport Secretary. And man, it was real cool. The most fun part was the campaigning of the candidates and the school being literally painted in different flamboyantly and luminously colored posters of campaigning and promotion. Real nice change.

“Please vote for me, baccho!” One of the didis came to our class. “Dekho, ok, main ga nahin sakti, dance nahin kar sakti…par haan, I can draw and paint and I was the leader for the Child Rights for the past two years…besides…I’m beautiful!”

Uh huh.

“Oh, Praveen…tun yahan?” A bhaiyya nominee asked as he entered our class to make us hear his pleads (we’ve been hearing it all the time from all of them…Praveen is one of my classmate).

“Arre, Vikram? Kyaa campaigning? Oh, yeh toh mera class hai.”

“Tera!? Wow…sun, iss class se saara vote mujhko milni chaahiye…thick hain nan?”

“Befikr. Ay, inko vote karna…Vikram, Sports Secretary.”

After all, Praveen is the don of our class…**shudders**

“Vote for Ankita!!!!” a didi came up, “ A for adorable, n for naughty, k for um…(I really thought it was going to be “Kiss”, but thankfully…someone for the back sniggered ‘ketchup’ and someone else ‘killer’ yo, she was this pretty) kind, I for Ingenius, T for talkative and again a for alluring…please, please!”

She’s nice you know…not bad girl. Moreover I didn’t know most of the people who were competing for the post of Cultural Secretary, so I went for her – most of the school went for her…you know, I was just thinking, looks do help you somewhere…alas!

“I always speak in English,” Sumit bhaiyya spoke up, and I looked up. Yo, I like Always English Speaking Students (AESS – EEEEE is there…it’s not ASS, although, regretfully, some people green with envy have converted it into that form…**sobs**). “I promise to be more of a friend! Everything we’ll discuss…although I’ll be a head boy, I’ll just be like any other student, there to help you out whatever it maybe.”

I voted for him…**blushes**

“Whatever you do, please don’t bring out Indian democracy over here. That is, corruption. OK, what choice you make here won’t really matter…but trust me, by the time you’re 18 and ready to vote you’ll automatically make sure that you go for the right one.” That was Rakhi, presently vice head girl going for head girl.

Actually, DPS is already fraudulent and crooked from the beginning…and when the corruption or sleaze thing is so chic in the entire India, who can thwart it from coming in our school. I don’t really believe this stuff will work out, honestly speaking…more so, I’m pretty much sure that the selection committee already have the winners selected out…this voting stuff is just a major show off and a bragger to other adversary rival schools…damn it.

Anyway, we’re going off beam.

One of the didis started singing some song I’ve never heard in my life (maybe she’d made it on her own, whatever), “Come to me”…cheap! Despicable! Go to some bar and dance, baby, you’ll get some bucks and make a life…provided the “Indian Gov” allows to dance at bars after what was it 8 pm? Never mind, you sang here at 9 am! Plenty of time, honey.

One of my fave didi, Anshika, for whom I voted for as Head Girl, said the popular and famous dialogue from “Main Hoon Na”…she’s a fetish for it actually, you’ll always find her brimming with movie dialogues showeing from her mouth at the right place and at the right time…you know, I really like her! She’s got all smarts, a modish way of doing everything, she’s sporty, I guess she can do a bit of singing, and what’s most essential, she’s topper in her batch…all rounder! Go girl! I really really wish you be the Head Girl…I’ll pray for you in my prayers to Christ at night!

One of the didi (I know her personally) had a ruthless cough and cold on her campaigning day…still she went about doing it sincerely and above all, with simple reticence…I really felt sympathetic towards her and yes, you guessed it…I voted for her as the Literary Secretary.

For Vice Head Boy, I went for looks and the name. **winks** He’s this real good looking chap, a fab singer, and his name’s Rounaq…my bro’s name…haha…I’m starting to think all Raunaqs are cool.

V H Girl…well, I’ve to say none of the nominees were good…cut off the “Come to me” singer, there was that cheap boyfriend-changing-like-weather girl, and most of the other too un-famous…like I never had heard about them…so I went for the nominee from my house, Ganga, Navendu. She’s nice. I think so.

All over…oh, I almost forgot…what about Sports Secretary? **smiles** I went for Vikram…Vikram, Sports Secretary.
