My Tryst with Politics

Being a student of Political Science, I read Aristotle saying that man (human being to be more accurate-I am not gender biased) is a political animal. Naturally I have interest in politics-both keeping a tab on political news and participating in political activities. My friends know that I have unsuccessfully contested in university election.
I was excited from the beginning of this year, as implementation of Delimitation committee report created some sort of opportunity. I downloaded the voter list of my assembly constituency, did some research regarding the procedure for contesting election (this is one reason of being irregular in posting blogs though I have a dozen topics in skeletal form).
But I did not apply to any political party for ticket. You might be thinking which party would have given me ticket! Yeah you are not completely wrong. As there is nothing wrong in trying I should have gone ahead. But I was plagued with the middle class dilemma- what to do next if I failed in my attempt. Anyway I am jobless, so there is no fear of losing my source of income. But here lies the exact reason- as I have no income, no savings and nothing to spend in the election campaigning.
The objective of posting this blog is to make an appeal before my friends and well-wishers. It may sound rude, but moral support is not enough. I need financial support. So I request all of you to save some amount of money for me regularly and I will need that next time. In the meantime you enjoy your life and keep visiting this space- it is free.
