Day 220: 9th Feb, 2010 - Are we choosing the right leaders?

The post has nothing to do with what is happening at the macroscopic level. It is about something that is happening here.

I have no intention to wash dirty linen in public, but suffice to say, no person anywhere can get away with abusing a position of authority (and responsibility!) for long. The title of the post is actually the subject line of an email sent by an esteemed professor of our institute to the entire student community, appalled by the behaviour of a certain student representative. The said "Mr. Leader" has slipped way down the popularity ladder ever since he was elected and today's action just added fuel to the fire and started a tirade of insults pelted at him. I hope everybody would always remember the famous spiderman quote - With great power comes great responsibility. The super talented Mr. Vishrani came up with a brilliant caricature summing it all up!

As I write this post, I suddenly recollect on a couple of events that I totally missed out! (Though I may be repeating this :-p). Senior council elections are over. Most seats went uncontested, which is not very cool in a democratic setup, though I must add that some candidates are totally worth the positions (ironically, in stark contrast to the paragraph above!).

We have also re-started Channel Hell - IIM Lucknow's very own radio channel. It typically runs weekends. Tonight of course, there was a special coverage - Leadership awards!

Chalo anyways, exams from tomorrow. Best of luck to you and me!

PS: Got our 2nd term CG. The whole batch has taken a hit - and INDEXians have outdone others!
