SKPS school head boy/girl elections …. hmmm…. quite nostalgic !!! I hope it still has the hype and glamour what it had…. I was fortunate to be the part and parcel of 4 such election campaigns right from the year it started.
when I was in 9th, that is hmmmm… 2002…. our then new principal Mr. Francis KA came with such an idea of American Model School Elections… where every one from class 4-12 can vote and directly elect the School Head Boy/Girl.
The one week long campaigning ,biasing votes, posters all around, the small little ‘bribes’ for the young voters, spreading rumours, getting beaten up, those stupid fights …..
and not the least…. the Meet the Candidate Programme…. (Trust me! Its a night mare…) all were the key features of our own SKPSian Politics.
And the best thing, after the elections….. after all these dramas, allegations, fights….. skpsians could reallly gel together and work as a team allways!
Though the present skpians are not allowed to go so ‘wild’ during public campaigning I guess all that it still happens ‘under cover’ in skps with the same ‘josh’.
Hopefully someone is there to carry forward the skps spirit and keep it alive…..
I suddenly felt like blogging on this space bcoz in our college we are speaking about elections and we have started with some of the so called ’political’ games !
And I was just rembering that we have seen much more of all that in our own school and actually thers nothing new that our college mates can surprise us with !
Bottom line:- Whatever be the field……………..
SKPS ROCKS !
