Politics and Me

Where on earth, the "Politics" doesnt have its existence? Be it the world, be it India, be it West Bengal or narrowing our view, be it IIT kgp. When i came here for the first time i was very much excited about the studing environment and student facility that it had. But after spending damn 4 years of my life here in this hell, it would have been better if i would have continued my higher studies being at home. The politics among the higher authorities is somewhat that can be thought of but among students, impossible for me to have even a remotest idea. I dont say that this world should be cleaner and whiter to live in, but when this creepier thing comes to supress your talents, it becomes a nuisance. People work very hard here for winning the "General Championship" for Social andCultural events as well as for Sports events (we call it GC race). Whereas in sports the results are pretty clear and everything depends on how u perform on the spot and on the field, soc-n-cult events have a different story to tell. Here its the participating halls(word used for hostels) who decides who's gonna take the prizes long time before the event is organized irrespective of how you perform on stage. This is called Inter-Hall politics which is very much filthy that u cant even think about.

Come the days of elections for Gymkhana (a body which organizes student activities), politics takes a form that can teach the regular 'politicians' a lot. Although, i was out of its reach and keeping myself away from all these till last year, this years comes with another story which shocked me totally. Initial days of my final year were totally devoted to my hall and to the politics involved in it. I know i am very bad at it when i realized that it was me who became the target of Intra-Hall politics. Finally, there was only one way out that is to leave everything and enjoy peace. One of the safest way is to just blog and think of nothing
