SO , finally the pandemonium over the elections is over , in hindsight a decent ending perhaps. Every year ,with candidature getting cancelled seems to becoming a rule in bits ,getting sms from some obscure number to vote for PRIDE, for NONE(people plz wake up and smell the coffee,i don't know what's the definition of pride for them, but i do know 1 thing, they seriously need to introspect themselves ,if being a bitsian they can't figure out of what they really want from election.) and the big daddies and arbiters of politics assuming centerstage in the later fortnight of the month didn't seem to help.This election has really spun some interesting numbers for statistics buffs.viz the winning candidate pulverizing its opponents getting almost double vote and of course a landslide victory, which has two connotations-either people have voted for him or have voted against the losing candidate.
As the old adage goes "i never voted for somebody , i always voted against",the day people shed this mentality, i guess it will be win for democracy.
In stark contrast , we bitsians perhaps witnessed the closest fight ever for gen sec in the history of BITS, winner pipping his opponent by a narrow margin of 12 votes .It just left me ponder what's going to be aftermath of election, for many will be cursing themselves for what they have just done and would to give arm and leg if they could go back in time ,for they have had sleepless nights in the past just for the D day .Obviously it's going to take while for the one's involved intricately in poli-tick to recuperate from hangover of elections.Newaz best of luck for winning candidates , for half the journey is over , now the tough phase starts to live up to the expectations of bitsians as those will be the one's wearing the insignia representing BITS PILANI.The hullabuloo is still not over and i can still hear the supporters rejoicing and their shout dying at a distance.
