Life costs a penny here

A news item in the newspaper that there is a riot between the two groups on the matter of president post in the college elections flashed my memories of one of the worst riots in the college elections. It happened when I was in the first year of my college. It was the month of August; there was extreme zest in the Stephens College as student union elections are due to held in mid of October. The campaign has already begun with full flow. Everybody in the college is having a very good time in campaigning for their candidate.
The post of president is as usual has its significance and though lots of external powers are also active in the college. The competition for the post of president is between the two guys paradoxically different to each other. One of them is Nick a student of final year of bachelor of commerce. Extremely sincere in his studies and a very sympathetic, extrovert and jovial person. On the other hand Samuel Jackson alias Sam is a student of third year bachelor of arts from last two years. He is a ruthless and introvert person. Sam is currently the vice president of student union but students are not pleased with his oppressive behavior. Sam is backed up by the external powers that want to misuse the post of president for their sake.

Any external force does not back up Nick but the students of the college are behind him, as they desperately need a good leader. Sam was sensing that to beat his rival Nick in the elections is going to be a very tough job for him. To convince students Sam called them for his speech in the premises of the college. He addressed the students which are few in numbers .He just repeat the same old his bullshit of fake promises and as a result students soon start to disperse. Samuel sensing the futility of his words stopped half way. Now Sam knows that Nick's success is inevitable and if he has to win its not going to be fairly. Sam tried to warn Nick many times but that end as abortive attempts.

Nick picked up the last nerve of Sam imperceptibly. Sam saw the girl Adrena whom he adores a lot campaigning for Nick. Now Samuel is having a grudge against Nick as he finds Adrena treating Nick with wild adulation in his embrace. He got out of his mind and he brings hooligans recklessly to beat Nick. On the next morning Nick is admitted to Sandy Beach Hospital with severe injuries on all over his body. Nick has not reported anybody's name although everybody knows that's no one except Sam can do that. After this incident Nick has the sympathy of each and every student of college and his success is now absolutely certain.

There is still a one and half month to go for the voting. And according to the doctors Nick would be able to go and cast his vote on his legs. Nick is recovering well and everything is going in right directions. It's more than a month now and everything is moving nicely before the college authorities announced a surprising news that Nick's nominations is cancelled.

HALF WAY: HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KIT- KAT

There has been a strong agitation in the college as everybody is penitent for Nick and wants to know why his nomination is cancelled. The principal of the college told the students that Nick is HIV positive and he himself doesn't want to take part in the elections.
