Election time begins

and this time its on campus! In ISB, there is an elected student body with several arms which basically interfaces between the student population, School management and other external organizations. Now all members of this body are elected by a simple majority and the candidates arent allowed to do any print campaigning just a Soap box event where the candidates express themselves regarding their suitability for the post.

Having said this, anyone would assume that it is a fairly simple and uncomplicated process but not at ISB! When you throw in 428-odd highly competitive students together there is so much of leg pulling, mud slinging, etc that the likes of "Amma" and Karunanidhi seem like novices at this game. People are drawing up their manifestos, creating core campaigning teams and working so hard that you might wonder what perks the post has. On the contrary, you will have to sacrifice academics to actually be able to contribute and justice to the job. Anyways, its all fun and I am loving it so much that now I am thinking of standing for one of the Club presidents post!!
