T.N. Seshan's "A Heart full of Burden"

Firstly, the title of the book is very apt. If there is a tamil version of the book, it can be titled "த.ந. சேஷனின் புலம்பல்கள்". This old book published in 1995 is a collection of speeches he delivered in diverse forums ranging from IIM Ahmedabad to a Lawyer's Forum in Lucknow. His famous one-liners are there all over the book, though some of them get repeated in different speeches. T.N. Seshan, if you remember, was a terror during his tenure as the Chief Election Commissioner. In his own words,he has an outstanding achievement of being universally hated by all the political parties.
the following are some of the "Punch lines" of T.N Seshan taken from the book. I enjoyed them and so would you.
"Do you know how elections are run in this country? Liquor for the father, cloth for the mother and food for the baby."
"In a booth in Bihar where the voting starts at 7 o'clock in the morning and at 7.15, 105 percent of the votes have been cast."
"If equality of hatred is a test of my partiality, I will pass with flying colours"
"Indian elections are the eighth wonder of the world. There are 55 Crores of votes. There are 800,000 polling booths and each polling booth has a minimum of five people. So there are 4 million people working for the elections."
"And there are rolls which are extremely defective. There are names which appear five times, there are names which don't appear at all, there are dead names which are still alive and there are live names which are dead."
About the power Mongering politicians:
" Have you ever heard of anybody relinquishing power after Shri Rama? Shri Rama is the only last known instance of somebody relinquishing power voluntarily."

And there are many more...If you happen to get the book somewhere, please read.
