"`Young' party to contest Assembly elections"-The Hindu dated march 3rd, 2006. This young party, called 'LokParitran' has been launched by a few IITians. There's a lot of debate going on in our hostel whether the IITians who established the party borrowed the idea from a movie or whether the director of the movie has borrowed it from those IITians. Needless to mention, the movie is Yuva. Whatever be it, it may take some of you to surprise if I now claim that it has been my idea for quite a long time. Long- atleast longer than the two things mentioned ,have taken place. If you ask me to prove it I can't. Simply believe me ...thats all. Anyway let me tell you my ideas about this.
Along with some of the like minded friends of mine I'll go to each and every village in AP - to start with -because thats the state to which I belong. I'll address their problems and possible solutions to them, become very close to them and it eventually happens that they themselves force me into politics and so along with my team, I float a new party called the APPP (Andhra Pradesh Peoples Party.) It shouldn't take more than 10 years to do this. Having done this, there's a lot of possibility of my party securing a good number of seats in the AP assembly. Thus a base has been established in AP. Now, with the help of my like minded friends in other states I'll try to establish a base in other states even. This shouldnot take more than 5 years. By then , my party would have gained the respect of the people all over India. Then, all the state units of my party contest in national elections, under the name NPP-National Peoples Party. From then on, an entry into my party requires people to take an entrance test, followed by an interview.This is how I make sure that my party adheres to its moral values. With such a ground work done I see no reason why my party would not win. Then I shall not be the the PM of the country. I'll be the Railway Minister as I've many plans for the upliftment of Indian Railways. I shall not list them all in this speech . Read my party's manifesto then. Indian Railways shall be made much better than those in other countries ;I promise you. Then, ofcourse a second term and a third term and a fourth term and it goes on. No question of anti-incumbency factor, as this will be a selfless, corruptionless, development oriented party and thats what people like to have. I shall then retire from active politics, thus paving way for the younger generation to take over.
Then.... a slow muffling sound of a door knock, intensity of which was slowly increasing... Suddenly , the background changed, the audience listening to me disappeared and disappeared forever. Where's the mike, where are the newspaper reporters who asked me about my future plans?With a lot of effort, I got up from my bed and opened the door, only to find a fat little pod standing before me and asking, " Jimmy! What's the D-Slot portion." It took two minutes to me to realise that , that fat little pod was Taru, my classmate.

Now you are getting into the groove.Don't be too attracted to this genre however. The anti-climax is anti-climatic only for a short while.Gets predicable sooner or later, with only the actual 'twist' being the only unknown part.
