AAP


An Idea cannot change your life. A passion, A desire, and A successful execution of that idea may change your life!


It is not easy to copy. It requires a great skill and effort. There may be people whose cup of tea is not creativity. Everyone cannot invent something to change the world. There are people whose ability to spot some good creation and idea to use to their advantage.When you think of social networking you think of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. However, Zuckerberg stole the concept from the Winklevoss twins who came up with the idea of connecting all Harvard students online.

Thomas Edison doesn't "invented" the Light Bulb. It was Joseph Swan, a British inventor, who obtained the first patent for it. Edison was however the first to see the potential of the idea and worked hard to improve it and make it practical. The light bulbs of the past were very expensive and they did not last long, only 150 hours. Edison worked very hard to solve these problems. His bulb lasted for 1,200 hours and was cheaper. He had the ability to spot an invention and quickly understand its marketing potential.

‘touch screen’?? means 'iPhone'. Touch screen is not invented by Apple. It is invented in 1960s by E. A. Johnson and was used by IBM in 1993 when it released the first ever smartphone named Simon. Jobs believed that this tech will change the world and rocked the world with his smartphone, which he called iPhone.

All these people have one thing in common that they have ability to spot a good idea and implement it. If you spot any idea shamelessly copy and implement.!

Likewise AAP, the name which shaken the whole political system in India and a dream of impossible, made possible! AAP campaigning has close similarities like Obama campaigning. At that time in 2008, Hilary Clinton in USA is a most powerful candidate than Obama which is closely similar here as Sheila Dikshit is like invincible CM in Delhi, he defeated her.! He used the same strategies used by the Obama to reach out to the voters. Like Obama, who used the power of the youth to help him win, Arvind Kejriwal too used the young first-time voters to campaign for him. Like Obama he too used the power of the social media to create a large volunteer base and reach out to many people. Like Obama he too had the whole campaign planned out (software to track voters). Each polling booth was tracked and mapped and campaigned for with the ultimate goal being of getting 100% of the supporters of the party to the polling booth. No politician had ever spoken like this to its voters as him. He had a message that people loved ‘Aap (you) against the corrupt biggies’. He inspired people to vote for change – just like Obama. He positioned himself as the ‘common man’ which appealed to the electorate and his logo, his slogans (power to the common man) all were totally in sync with the positioning and made him stand out distinctly from other parties. In short, one can say Kejriwal did an Obama in India
