HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEJASVI!

On this 21^st birthday of Tejasvi LS, who has been drifting in the sea of politics and a crusade to make our nation an anti-corrupt habitat, a small note exposing his ‘kantriness’ (With a bit of help from Aravind Suchindra of course)
Politicians do are subject to scandals . He loves publicity. He loves bitti advertising.

It has been almost seven years since I have known Tejasvi. And if metamorphosis is personified, it has been these seven years.  From a naughty school kid to a busiest of the busy law student, he has moulded every small opportunity provided into a massif platform to enhance his dream of building a country standing on the shoulders of the responsible and powerful youth! From the very first show on air in 2007 , a member of ABVP to the founder and president of Arise India Movement, he has proved that actions do speak louder than words!

Fondly called ‘Bombe mari’ (meaning Doll Baby)  , an amazing orator and writer  the emerging status of a youth icon could be seen in him from his school days. I remember on one occasion, where he found a drunkard after a hang over in front of a bar, he poured a whole bottle of water on him. On being pointlessly accused by the drunkard, this was what he had to say:

‘Nimhantavra mele neerala, seeme yenne suri beku’!

He ragged teachers, and even their kith and kin. {Remember torturing Sudha Ashok Mam’s son when you were at her place). Picked up a fight with seemingly trace of injustice smelt at school. From the post of the head Boy to the Intra Murel Secretary, he has assumed all roles with responsibility. From a boy who tied his pet dog to his bicycle and rode down the road and later argued with me that his pet needed exercise, he has committed all possible crimes any normal teen ager would do so. Being surrounded by a dozen girls, stuffing himself with tikki puri from Kumar Bhel or faking a melo drama to get a few more extra minutes after the last bell of an term exam, tejasvi has hoards of untold secrets!

Be it the various hours we have spent discussing about the works of Swami Vivekananda or his endless hours on enlightening me about the state of the country or the economic inequality or the political mess prevailing in the country, its been a previlage being thy friend!

AND NOW THE TRUTH!: 

Tejasvi ondu kantri nan maga:

Let me tell you a story that happened in my school.
Elections were happening for the next grade in the previous one itself (a very strange change from the regular routine) and as usual there were two major contestants for the biggest post in school, let me call it 'headless boy.' It was very clear that the more popular one of the two would win the post.
Election day: all is well. The popular boy is confident of victory. The other guy is barely in the scene, but he is still trying his best with all his campaigning. The public opinion showed that the popular boy would clearly win it.
Results: For some reason, the 'president' asked all the subjects who do you think would have won this post. The mass uproar is for the popular one but everyone is shocked when the 'president' announces that the other one is finally the 'headless boy.'
Why? Because a few 'ministers' didn't favour the popular one as he was very rebellious and therefore chose not to make him win. That is dirty politics. And it is into this dirty politics that this popular guy has ventured into. He is none other than the kantri nan maga Tejasvi!

Tejasvi is a big kantri fellow,
He is as kantri as any mantri,
And if any cute girl passes by,
He will always say 'Eh figure, Hello!'

Tejasvi is a big gandu in all the municipalities,
He is as bad as a tramp on the streets,
Getting an award from the president is one of his feats,
And flirting is one of his good capabilities.

Tejasvi is a big loude-ke-baal,
He is as focused a light beam falling on a mirror,
He is a nice guy if you do get to know him deeper,
But if not, he will even eye your 'maal!'

Tejasvi is a nice guy,
I am wondering why I should lie.
Tejasvi is a wonderful person,
If you ask him for help, your problems will definitely not worsen.
Tejasvi is a charming boy,
So sad that girls use him as a toy.
Tejasvi is a helpful bud,
But he thinks he is one big stud.
Tejasvi is a fabulous gentleman,
Hey! Really man.

(From Arvind of course)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :P
