Taming Leena With Politics



Student participation in Politics: As I was sipping tea with a pretty girls in Naraina, my attention was caught by the television screen. Hillary Clinton was addressing the students and teachers in Delhi University. Her speech; “…we have to focus on poor women and poor children because that is the generational change that makes a difference” spoiled my day at Leena house. Our conversation shift from ‘sweet-talk’ to that bullshit politics. Leena was with the view that students should shun from politics, and oppose the participation of students in politics. Here our politics means students and civil organization. Leena was argumentative and put up a strong case but on that day I tame Leena with politics. The question of the participation of students in politics has always evolved a lot of discussion. It has been a very controversial subject. In my own opinion students participation in politics should be encourage. Education does not only mean near literacy, it also means a total and all round development of the student personality. It makes students aware of what is happening in his society and in the world around. It also develops students the qualities of leadership. Instead of being a timid shy, book-worms, students grows into an aggressive, dominating and alert Youngman who know how to fight the battle of life. Our discussion goes on and leena attack me with some very interesting point. But I put forward my point with force and conviction and tell her that student life is the formative period in one’s life. If a student is totally away from politics, he is likely to grow into a lope-sided personality. People who do not participate in politic during their student life tend to be those who create hackus-ruckus in our society, they lop-sided from the main stream flow .I told leena that student should participate in politic then she slowly speek out and agreed with me within responsible limit. She agreed that all activities of organic politic are good for students to train himself and take part in it. Student leader should not be mentally torture. And student should keep themselves informed about what is happening in our society. They should not hesitate from jumping into active part if the situation threaten the unity of the society. After she speak out all what she felt, she stood their silent. That politic and my aggressiveness make Leena very upset. I said; “I am sorry to disappoint you Leena”. Before leaving for home; I told her. ‘Leena I am not a perfect guy for you but what I know is that you are always save in my heart”. Then she smiled and say; “You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly”. And she bade me a good night kiss. Yes, who can resist a stunningly gorgeous preety girl with charm, seductive in her ways, and is interested in your own philosophy.!
