goofy - part 2

This is quite a recent event which took place so therefore no excuses for my or rather our stupid behaviour . In our university elections , 2 of our lecturers had stood and on the day of casting the vote , we the 3rd years were asked to head to another college and campaign !!. now 'campaign' sounds like a big word but in reality it's just handing out pamphlets and beaming at all the voters to cast their votes for our candidate . We didn't care how demeaning or what a silly job it was !! as long as we were getting out of a class. anything would do . Only when we did go there did we realize that we were
a) in the dirtiest part of bangalore where there were no malls , eateries or any decent place where we could hang out.
b) in no way could we escape from that place . all the PGs and the lecturers descended on us to 'campaign' for our candidate like octopus tentacles
we were obviously disappointed but sod it... at least we got a chance to escape classes . Then came our biggest faux pas !! In our over enthusiasm to hand out all the pamphlets and finish 'em off so we could be free we handed out a pamphlet to a rather official looking person getting out of a car . We put on our best smiles and confidently said ' please vote for our candidate with so and so serial no' . He looked at us quizzically before saying ' I will vote for your candidate when you start campaigning for mine' . we were puzzled for a minute then it struck us like a bolt that HE WAS A CANDIDATE HIMSELF . we stood there feeling like total idiots !!! however I guess it's ok to experience such stuff once in a while so you have something funny to relate like this one :-) :-)
