LIQUI-LECTIONS?

LIQUI-LECTIONS!!!

Liquids are free flowing. They are boundless and possess no fixed shape. Their liquidity (characteristics- or rather, personality) determines their flow. Yes, they may be limited but they are not defined. They do have a surface tension, but they make their paths. However, it’s the external force that can influence them. They can handle themselves, but they like to be governed.

Did I just say 'governed'? Coming down to governance, as the elections approach, the voters (the liquids) get to be pushed around, more emotionally than physically. With the 'channelizing' of their immediate needs and desires into "making-the right-move-by-the-right-vote" thought process, the liquids seem to be pushed with an external force. What next? Well, it’s this phrase that comes into my mind on the topic you are reading and I am writing about. It is very rightly called “drop by drop makes the ocean”.

So, what I intend to say is that the ocean that these drops make often tends to flood and wash out their existence. Something known as "Wrong-guy; right-vote" funda. So, the problem is who's problem is it anyway? the wrong guy (the ocean) or the wrong minds (the drops)?

It is universally known that it is the nature of the liquid to flow with the force, to become volatile with physical, chemical and biological pressure, to change its course with the inclining planes etc. But, then at the same time, it is the ocean's nature to keep it's criminal fish-y friends safe in itself, cry its crocodile's tears, dance with the tidal effect and if the need be- flood its fellow friends. But then- do the liquids want the same ocean in the upcoming elections??? Well, I somehow--- don't think so.

Allow me, a far inferior liquid, to make a list of the things- I want another liquid to do for me this time...before I and my vote(s) make him the ocean...

  1. STRESS ON GOOD EDUCATION AND NOT JUST LEARNING
  2. ‘WANTS TO’ HELP ORGANISE GOVERNMENTAL WORK
  3. IS A YOUNGER LEADERS AND LOOKS FORWARD TO GOOD GOVERNANCE
  4. HELPS BETTER AND MAKE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENT
  5. WANTS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENVIRONMENT (POSITIVELY)
  6. CREATE SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR ALL, ESPECIALLY WOMEN
  7. HELP DEVELOP PUBLIC CONVENIENCES, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN

Now, sometimes, liquids change their shape if put in different containers, but their volume and their physical and chemical properties are sure and certain. We may get influenced, but we are always certain of what we want. Let’s choose to choose the right choice. For this is the only choice the beggars have.
