Politics as Profession

I have serious intentions of becoming a politician as now l merely see myself as an activist. The returns in politics depends from modest to high but that depends on what you consider as your return. For some people serving others and accepting people's gratitude is the greatest return. Like Dr Sashi Panja or Dr Amit Mitra whose introduction in politics changed the game as well as the state of people of West Bengal. But for others like Sujit Bose or Mahua Moitra who has been flaunting her Louis Vuitton handbag politics is a way of life, something which makes you wealthier with time. For some politicians it's a rags to riches story and if l project myself as a poor BJP supporter people will roll down with laughter. Why it rests on how you chose to accumulate wealth rather than distribute it. Our parar dada has little understanding of politics. He can't stop praising the mangso bhater supply that Didi provides every Sunday. Bhar me jao economic reforms or public policy the tastier the meal the better. Our Marxist kin on the other hand can't stop talking about the blood donation camp he attended. Poor us who cannot stop complaining about TMCPs jeerings aimed at us. But still we admire Modiji for the change and the development that he has brought.Long live our democracy we will still celebrate it although Bengal is caught in a total eclipse position
