Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face. Unaware of this significant reality, he and two others continued swimming. This  goes on regularly but sudd...

Premonition was right but not prognosis


  


If either of the two happens to lose the municipal elections, the loser will not hesitate to shave his beard. This was a firm promise, but their assurance was burst like a balloon. 

It was more like a shallow promise in the heat of the elections. In a mostly earnest, insightful and of course politically tinged conversation, it remains closely a simple nature of politicians.

Both the leaders publicly challenged each other to cut their well-trimmed beards. As they both had beards, they decided to throw this very peculiar tantrum straight at each other. 

Fortunately, one party leader prevailed in the fiercely contested BMC elections. However, none ventured to shave their beards. 

Political leaders continue to quarrel with one another on trivial matters, without any gravity. Political leaders did not wait to defy each other on various points.

This talk even continued on YouTube with all the vehemence. Both politicians took part in the recently concluded BMC elections. One leader made a vitriolic statement against another party's candidate, who used the symbol of a kite. 

Then, another party leader replied that if the final results vary, he would seriously shave his beard. The results are clear, but nobody appeared to be readily moving to do what was promised.

Will it hurt anyone? The doubt was right, but not the foretelling. It looked quite odd, didn't it, but who remains a true believer in democratic values? 

Everything happens for a political purpose, and nothing is considered useless during elections. While none took the trouble of naming both the persons, as there was no need to mention their respective names at that delicate time.
