THE PERSUADER – Vinod Kumar
The plain ground of ten acres lays unused for most part of the year. Just on the outskirts of the city is this mega sized land with no utility value.

Every individual in this geography became provoked to procure and acquire a piece of the activity called MEAC. Everyone wanted to make profits. A stampede en route to the path of making gains, became imminent. The society has discovered a new mental experience. That is scarcity and deprivation.

The arrival of MEAC and it’s occupying of this piece of ten acre land, that nobody wanted, has kick started new dynamic in behavior. The people became divided. Each began competing with the other. Many fought to retain prominence in this public music concerts. Disputes has now become common, to attract the organizers, to choose appropriate vendors.
