P.J.Thomas and Congress - A Storm Unforeseen

Published on: Friday, January 28, 2011 // , , ,

Now this is interesting and horrible at the same time. Interesting because it gives us a feeling – there is a child in everyone and horrible because it ensures that – finally the country is about to go to the dogs, if it hasn’t already. The abundant display of incompetence, callousness, support for corruption and last but not the least - intentional inaction against proven crooks by the current government has anything but dragged our great nation into the delusion of apathy and hypocrisy and made all of us a laughing stock worldwide. This is for sure one horrible thing; if not interesting.

Let’s not talk about CWG or 2G scams. The corruption was proved with unearthing the rascals involved in it. Irony is nothing has happened to the thugs till yet and nothing seems to happen either. So on this two issues; lets us citizens take a chill pill and let the buffoons go to their banks smiling all the way.

When the corruption has gone through the roofs of most government offices along with the parliament house, the least the government could have done is to appoint a decent and honest CVC (Chief Vigilance Commissioner) so that the malice could have been dealt with iron fist. But for some strange reasons rational and honest approach and Congress doesn’t go in tandem. Out of nowhere they thought to appoint a corrupt and dishonest officer in the form of P.J.Thomas. The chap in discussion is alleged to have made his hand dirty with corruption when he was the Telecom secretary during the period when the phenomenon called 2G spectrum scam happened. If this is not enough then the Kerala government is running all over the place to sought permission to prosecute the same person in connection with a multi crore Pamoline Oil import scam. Now isn’t it funny? The guy who is supposed to be the custodian of all anti-corruption activities in the country and expected to act as a master watch dog so that all the corrupts would wet their pants by just thinking about him is neck deep buried in corruption himself? Isn’t the appointment of such tainted character to this important position raises few eyebrows? Aren’t we citizen stands a right to know – how come such incompetent and corrupt individuals are selected to important positions to begin with and what is the procedure for selecting such high profile positions?

I am told; selection of such important positions is a tricky business. To select a chap like P.J.Thomas to fill in the post there should be a team even comprising of a representative member of the opposition to go through the shortlisted candidates and zero in unanimously on one guy to whom the responsibility to be bestowed. Finally the Prime-Minister of India should authorize the selection and as usual our President should give the oath of honesty to the chap on appointment date. If BJP are to be believed then - they never gave consent for the selection of Mr.Thomas for this position looking at his muddy background. Their relentless opposition didn’t work as the other two representatives of the ruling party hoodwinked them and went ahead with their selection. This is bizarre. If there is any truth in the words of BJP then the politics behind such high profile appointments is quite evident and doesn’t serve much confidence to us citizens on our democratic procedure. No wonder the appointment of Mr.Thomas as CVC was pictured as yet another example of mis-governance and deliberate attempt to shield the thugs of the 2G scam. As expected media sprung into action with credentials of Mr.Thomas in terms of integrity and honesty was questioned on prime time.

Now keeping aside all the allegations and counter allegations – isn’t there something fundamentally wrong? How come a person can guarantee an honest enquiry into things where he himself is a party to it? For sure we are no more in the land of Gandhis where if one finds himself in compromising state would step down and question himself, rather being an insult to his position. The CVC whose responsibility is to choose the CBI director is himself gullible enough to be prosecuted and questioned by the CBI itself. Things can’t be more bizarre than this. The relentless howling of the media did prompt our Apex court to take note of things and subsequently the Govt. is ordered to make its stand clear on Thomas and the whole drama of his appointment.

I guess our Attorney general Mr.Vahanbati is a joker of highest caliber. Before Thomas our Apex court must investigate the trick behind this man’s appointment. There is something fishy here for sure. Schoolboys are expected to fumble when confronted and end up giving funny excuses but not our Attorney general. First he shouted from the roof top and assured the court on the peak level of integrity those Mr.Thomas posses and confirmed that his appointment has no corroboration with politics or politicians. According to him, the first and last alive person in this country who is capable enough for this post has to be Mr.Thomas. No sooner Mr.Vahanbati could take his first full breath in half an hour from nowhere the honorable High court of Kerala gave their consent and allowed the state government to go ahead with the investigation of the Pamoline Oil import scam architected by Mr.Thomas. Little did Mr.Vahanbati know that it is not Congress which is ruling in every state of India.

Now comes the joke of the millennium. According to facts furnished by Govt. to Apex court – Our Prime-Minister was never aware of the tainted past of Mr.Thomas before he signed his appointment letter. Funny isn’t it? This is unbelievable to start with and if they are facts after all then it is unacceptable. Even when we appoint our house maid we are ordered by our police department to make sure we are aware of the maid’s past. In any Public/Private job the applicant is verified thoroughly by the employer before handing over the appointment letter. In the same line how in earth the chaps at the helm of affairs like our Prime-Minister forget to do background verification before appointing him for such important position? Or is it yet another case of fringing ignorance and get your ass off from a situation which has gone horribly wrong and no credible way out in sight? I am told Mr.Vahanbati just suffered a mild 3rd level heart attack. Poor Thomas who might have dreamt a lot about siphoning a huge amount of money post his appointment, now finds himself at sea with none supporting his cause and his mentors are nowhere to be seen and have promptly washed off their hands from him.

Good or bad I don’t know but for sure the ruling government is insulting the common citizens on daily basis by their much unwanted gimmicks. More frustrating is their belief that they can absolutely commit any crime and still get away with it. Appointed a grossly corrupt entity at the top of the anti-corruption department and feel they can still remain untouched by displaying their innocence and ignorance of the past of the man they appointed. Irony is – perhaps they will get away with yet another mis-governance and their overtly mollified intentions. An humble request to our clean Prime-Minister. Can our government for once show some courage and stand up and admit – the whole idea of appointing Mr.Thomas was to weaken the 2G scam and CWG investigation and safeguard the scoundrels involved in it. Can Rahul Baba stand up and admit this fact and beg apology from the very common man he is seen vouching so much on each alternate day? Guess he won’t. Incredible India; Indeed!!

Another Republic Day & A Lot Of Farce

Published on: Thursday, January 27, 2011 // , ,
Another Republic Day passed quite peacefully across the nation, provided you agree to the mindset of the separatists -Kashmir is not part of India. The spectacle of the day was the usual farce at the Rajpath in Delhi where the who's-who of the political as well as the elite circle attended the parade with the President of Indonesia being the chief guest. As a tokenism and customary Major. Jyotin Sing was awarded the Ashok Chakra. Tokenism because, I am sure Prathiba Patil would have forgotten this brave heart's name by now. Forget the nation – they would have forgotten Jyotin the next minute as majority of them wouldn't have cared to remember his name at the first place. When a nation of billion plus population can easily forget the likes of Bhagat Sing, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Subash Bose, Chandrasekhar Azad and Uddham Sing; Maj.Jyotin Sing hardly stands a chance that people would remember him anything beyond one hour.

Amidst the celebration and chest beating, none seems to realize the very reason why we are celebrating is in danger. The constitution which gives us reasons and dimensions to define ourselves as citizens of this great country is stripped of its own identity and stands nude. The day we go around shouting with pride a certain honest officer called Yashwant Sonawane was burnt down alive by Oil Mafias. What was his fault – He showed respect to our constitution and tried to do justice to his duty and responsibilities. The day we were garlanding rascals and allowing scoundrels to hoist our Tricolor we never spared a thought for a certain Shanmughan Manjunath, who is another of that rare cult who show respect to our constitution. No mention of Satyandra Dube anywhere as if respecting the founding ethics of one's nation is a crime. So this raises a fundamental question – why this farce on Rajpath? Why the wastage of Tax payer's money? When it is evidently proved that the reward for respecting our constitution is humiliation and death, then why this hypocrisy flaunted openly on Rajpath for the world to see and laugh at us?

Why this show of might? To whom we are showing our might and why? When we are coward enough to watch helplessly our constitution getting gutted everyday by few power hungry mongrels and do nothing about it; then what is the point in making few of our best soldiers to march down the Rajpath and displaying all the latest war gadgets that we posses? If the argument is – the whole exercise is to give a warning to all our enemies and a deterrent for them to stay away from the thoughts of harming India; then let me assure you – it failed more miserably and quickly than Jugal Hanshraj's Bollywood career. If that was the case then seeing our so called might for last 60 odd years on Rajpath; all the Terrorists and Maoists would have already wet their pants and laid down their arms at the nearest police station they come across, long back. But instead they thought of boating down all the way from Karachi in a fishing trawler and create mayhem in Mumbai. Now this is the impact of our show of might on the guys we probably want to show our might. More than anything the thing that irritates me most is the tall claims of the so called politicians while hoisting the flag. The power of constitution and how the 'equality to all' is the sole motto of the Constitution and other such nonsense is frustrating. When we see pickpockets beaten to death while highway robbers like Kalmadi and Raja roam around freely; how much our Constitution guarantees 'equality to all' is anybody's guess. Perhaps a certain species called Politicians doesn't come under the preview of our Constitution and probably are placed right above it.

Now look at what we achieved in J&K on our Republic Day. In the process to satisfy individual ego we ended up insulting our Tricolor big time. To stop the activists from hoisting the flag our security personals did the act where even the word shamelessness takes a dent. All the scuffle and wrestling with the activists ending up playing a game of Tug-Of-War with our National Flag and tearing our Tiranga in half is what one least expects on Republic Day. If this very act is not an insult to our nation, our constitution and us Indians then I am not sure what else could be. Look at the tout turned politician from UP. He finds talking about his illegal income details with another rogue sitting beside him more important than standing up to our National Anthem. It took good twenty seconds for our Mantriji to lift his big fat ass from chair in honor of our National Anthem. Can't we just book this idiot on charges of showing disrespect to our National flag in public view and throw him for a better part of three years behind bars? If we really can then there is pride in celebrating our Republic Day the way we are doing. Or else if our constitution can't even defend itself then little did it can do for individual entities like me and you.

With utmost respect to all the martyrs – You guys perhaps committed the mistake of your life by lying down your lives for this country. None here cares about the ethics, value system and moral that you guys carried all through your life and wished we would carry the same today. Little did you guys knew that you are handing over your hard-fought Nation to a bunch of rascals and scoundrels. Little did you expected that on occasions like Independence Day and Republic Day, we would remember everything (including our Swiss account numbers) but you guys. Hope you guys have adequate supply of sleeping pills up there in heaven. Pathetically sorry state of affairs – Painful but true.

Netaji – The Intentionally Forgotten Hero

Published on: Monday, January 24, 2011 // , ,

With a heavy heart I must admit – we have conveniently forgotten, perhaps the greatest son of the soil and a true patriot. Much like the way we have long forgotten Bhagat Sing or Rajguru, we somehow managed to forget this chap also. It is an irony for our country and our countrymen that we tend to forget the true patriots with ease, all the while worshiping media projected and politically motivated entities, who otherwise wouldn't have stand a chance to be compared with these forgotten heroes. Not a single news channel (who calls themselves the mirror of the nation) had even a half an hour program to remember and celebrate the birth anniversary of Netaji Subash Bose yesterday. No Sangeet Sabha organized in Delhi to remember Bose. No Shradhanjali by our President or Prime-minister. No official message from our president to congratulate the nation on this day. It is pity to see news channels devoting more time to promote the latest Amir Khan-Kiran Rao movie than sparing a thought for this great man.

Somebody correctly said – had he been one Subash Chandra Gandhi, then we would have been greeted with full front page memorabilia message in the morning news paper. But sadly he is one Bose not Gandhi. So who cares for a certain Bose, Sing or Azad and their contribution in nation building as long as they don't carry that Gandhi surname? Original or borrowed doesn't matter – all that matters is the surname itself and period. I have no personal differences with anyone or any family but the open hypocrisy and prejudiced behavior of an entire nation promptly hijacked by a bunch of paid media houses and buttering crooks is what bothers me a lot. In the process of projecting few handful entities as the architects of modern India and picturing them with larger than life image for personal and political gains, we just can't and we shouldn't forget and ignore greats like Bose or Bhagat Sing.

I get a feeling that – somehow the Congress and its so called leadership always wanted the nation to forget a great like Bose. While the reasons of such a bizarre wish are quite unknown, the motive is somewhat not. Look at the dilemma and jingoisms of our Defense Ministry. When our Defense Ministry had to fight out violently in courts against an RTI filed to make the Manuscript of Netaji public, is outrageous. It is criminal for depriving the citizens to know about the person which the nation loves so much. The funny reasons given that the government is in the process to publish the manuscript in the form of a book and the early leak of the details might hamper the economics of the whole effort are again outrageous. When the manuscript was handed over some half a century back and still the government is in the process of publishing it, leaves no scope of speculation that the said stuff won't be published in our lifetime at least. And what is that economics nonsense? Are we going to calculate how many copies of the so called to be published book in 2080 we are going to sell? Or is it how much money we are going to garner by letting know the populace about their most beloved son? Mr. A.K Antony - let me assure you. None here is a kid and a bit of info if you care to consider – we have long done away with the affinity for lollipops.

The whole idea of shielding the masses from the truth about Bose has got more to do with the ideology and principle that Bose always lived for and died for. While Bose is still a hero and would remain one in the hearts of millions of Indians, he would always remain a threat towards the image of the Congress in general and few easterly stalwarts of the party in particular. Netaji always considered himself an extremist with pious intentions and this particular self belief is what doesn't go down very well with the ideologies of Gandhi and Nehru upon which the party was founded. The announcement of Nehru in 1942 that they have parted away with Subash Bose for his extremist attitude has gone a long way in motivating the Congress to shield Bose from the rest of India. While Bose is too big a figure to ignore, the Congress still can't admit it openly as it would go against what Nehru said back in 1942. If that happens then probably the Party would openly accept the fact that Bose was always a better statesman and visionary than Nehru and few other greats of that time put together. This would not only be a dent in the well preserved image of Nehru but also on the party. So Bose can go for a walk as the truth has too big a price tag to afford. Don't consider me being nasty in this comparison as I have got nothing to do with anyone's origin. While the Congress was always critical about the German wife of Netaji they promptly surrendered and seem at comfort and ease to be accepting the Italian wife of another leader. Either this is plain hypocrisy or am I missing something? Perhaps the know-all Manish Tiwari can throw some light on this.

Having said that – The Congress doesn't want to fully disown Bose. Or else what can explain the presence of a small photo of Bose in Congress Banners? Even if his photo appears in the smallest form and that too after greats like Rajeev Gandhi, it gives us a feeling that even though the Congress is not admittedly confident on adoring Bose in great way they didn't want this great leader be used by any opposition party either. Bose is a phenomenon who seems to be everywhere yet being nowhere. BJP can blow the trumpet that Bose is their man as it is none other than Savarkar who used to guide Bose a big way. The Marxist can have their pair of trumpets and furnish their claims of Bose being their looking at the close association of Bose with big Marxist leaders like Mussolini. And of course Congress can always do so as Bose is the first person who called a certain Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as the Father Of the Nation. But irony – while all seems to lay their claim, none ready to admit. So at the end of the day "Bose Babu" is allowed to be forgotten year after year and the memory of this great man is getting thinner and thinner. Thanks to Orissa and West Bengal governments who proudly have announced Netaji's Birth Anniversary as a state holiday and celebrate with the vigor and interest which Bose deserves more than anyone. Thanks to Baba Ramdev for his gesture where he organized a mass rally in Cuttack, the birth town of Netaji and did a padyatra with thousands of citizens to the birth place of Bose and paid homage to this rapidly forgotten hero and perhaps the biggest patriot we would ever see.

Corruption – The Act Needs A Serious Makeover

Published on: Monday, January 10, 2011 // ,

Believe me; it is tougher than answering whom you find more macho and sexy between Arjuna Ranatunga and M.K. Alagiri. No I am not talking about the dilemma of any beauty pageant judge. My dilemma is on something else. I wonder, in India if we just can't stop ourselves from being corrupt, then can't we do it in a little sober way? After all there should be some sophistic approach which should differentiate between a pickpocket and a highway robber. More than the approach there should be a whole lot change in the people who loot us. It is more or less on the similar thought process of one of my friends – Even if you get slapped by a girl be sure she is a drop dead gorgeous. At least there would be a little less self humiliation.

Look at the chaps who have looted us in last decade or so – A.Raja, Madhu Koda, Mayawati, Lalu Yadav, Bengaru Laxman, Suresh Kalmadi. Not necessarily the lot which you would fancy using words like beautiful or handsome. As for me, I am sure I haven't seen Mayawati on the cover page of Vogue or A.Raja on the cover of HQ. If someone has any info of Mayawati participating in Miss India contest ever, then please let me know. Now more than the loot it is the fact that we were handsomely looted by a set of uncultured, undereducated and somewhat less personified individuals is what more humiliating. It's for sure a huge insult to the already incurable injury. As there is no Newton's theorem there to suggest the direct proportionality between thugs and their beauty, we might just have to live with the fact that we are continuously being conned and looted by a set of utterly sorry looking individuals. If not beauty, at least there should be a whole hearted effort from all the looters to take a more sober and sophisticated approach for the loot.

Take for example Harshad Mehta or for that matter our easterly wiz kid Ramalinga Raju. Look at their approach. Full with sophistication and professionalism. Even the individuals who got affected by them have some sense of pride feeling and satisfaction to be involved with these great souls directly or indirectly. After all to describe Harshad Mehta's masterpiece you need to have some serious knowledge of the stock markets. Now look at the acts of Mayawati in comparison. Her loot is simple enough for a Kindergarten going kid to understand and see. After all her elephant park in Lucknow is only the second thing after the Great Wall of China which is visible from space. Whether it is the Taj corridor or that 6 crore currency garland – the cheapness and unprofessionalism is quite evident. You should loot, as it is your birth rite (just included in our constitution), but a certain level of sophistication should be maintained. You shouldn't be caught with both your hands in the cookie jar and your pants down as well. After all a multi lakh crore looter shouldn't resemble a road side Bewda on a mission to hand pick someone's drying underwear for the evening Desi Daru bottle.

Jumping like a greyhound without diet for a month on the food is what the looters should avoid. At least high profile and high valued looters like A.Raja. One can understand the anxiety of not getting an opportunity for sometime to loot, but jumping on the first opportunity like a mad dog and producing enough grumbling noise in the process is what one should avoid. It doesn't look too good as per international standard of looters association. Look at a certain Maddof – dressed nattily in a pair of blazers and looting around with some sophistication. Now look at Raja – Struggling to hold the loot in one hand and the flying Lungi on the other and running bare foot with policemen with Lathi and sniffer dogs behind. This is unacceptable. After all we Indians have some emotions and standard in world forum. Didn't we? Now look at Kalmadi. For God's sake make a stringent rule – Looters with potbelly would be handed double punishment against their counterpart flat bellied looters. I can't tolerate a potbellied individual who can barely see his own feet while walking would end up gulping down thousand of corers. It is as same as getting HIV while taking an injection of anti rabies – at least the other way of getting HIV is interesting. And what is that orphanage grown set of beard doing there. Make another rule to add at least 10 years to the punishment if the looter is having beard like Kalmadi. This extra punishment is on account of polluting the TV screens by your filthy image which our media channels would be airing day-in and day-out. You can loot but you can't torture the nation at the same time. In the name of Neptune – can't you guys look a little smart if not like Mikhail Khodorkovsky?

This is a mandate from hapless souls like me and millions others. We know we were looted previously and continue to be looted. The loot would continue till either our planet earth crashes to some terrestrial comet or Lord Krishna takes an effort to implement his own saying of Bhagbat Gita – "Yada Yada Hi Adharmasya…." or some nonsense like that. Till then why take the loot so seriously and to our hearts? It is pretty much evident that we can't do anything about it. So it is better to suggest our able politicians to make sure that the pain to we citizens are minimal instead. More than our pain we shouldn't lose our face in world forum by our school boyish unprofessional work – after all we are the second fastest growing economy in the world; aren't we? Like our economy the national looters of our country should be flamboyant. Believe me – A John .F. Kennedy look alike stud might just give a lesser pain with his loot than a filthy creature like Madhu Koda. Don't believe me? Then try imagining Mayawati and Aishwrya Rai siphoning the same amount of money. Did I here – wow she still looks so hot; as the first reaction than the amount she siphoned?

All The Filthy Stages (apologies to Chetan Bhagat)

Published on: Wednesday, January 5, 2011 // ,

I don't get inspired by many, if they don't happen to be Prem Chopra or Shakti Kapoor. The latest inspiring human entrant in the list is Chetan Bhagat. Chetan is one heck of a writer. He can write a whole book out of his two stages of life or five things one shouldn't do when farting, all the while sitting next to a girl in a close classroom. Inspired by the best in the business here is my piece based on some of the filthy stages of my life. Here I Go…

While waiting at the end of the queue in a super market check-out counter, things were not getting any better. The fat guy all of 5 feet and no inches, with Viku Mahatre attire in the front was promptly getting into my nerves by his loud phone conversation with one of his close friends who was stuck inside a public toilet at the bus depot. All this thanks to that aunty at the front of the queue who probably had bought enough food items to feed Adnan Sami and few more countries for a year at least. Just when I was about to hit the fat man's Tabla top head with the Harpik bottle that I had bought…

Hey DJ. Do you remember me?

I turned back to see Batukishoreambikaprasad, who was popularly called B to save bandwidth in Emails, was standing nearby holding at least a dozen buy-one, get-one free underwear and smiling. Is it the same B from our college days? Is it the same B to whom the Ravana character was always given to save some makeup charges? Is it the same B who's baths used to be by public demand; i.e when the public submitted a petition, signed by all the residents of the nearby postal codes, with the demand that B and water should be brought in close contact, by calling in the Army if necessary? Is it the same B under whose desk an entire collection of his Nasal excavation used to hang?

Hell yes – he is the same bastard, which I can conclude beyond doubt from those yellowish-red or hang on reddish-yellow set of teeth.

After the exchange of those quite unnecessary pleasantries, B threw me a shock which on any given day I would exchange even against a Tushar Kapoor starrer, Ramgopal Varma directed movie.

Meet my wife Anita. Hope you remember Anita Sharma, our junior? She smiled at me and I tried my best to give that 'nice to meet you' expression. This can't be true. I am ready to believe, Jesus Christ died of overdrinking but not Anita Sharma getting married to B. The same girl who always claimed Aishwrya Rai and Sushmita Sen are plain lucky to win the crowns as she herself was stuck in the middle of the semester exams. Anita Sharma was so rigid about her beauty that she didn't feel like talking to an average Janardan in functions or parties. The biggest causality of this girl's ego was one Narottam. Poor chap who always wanted to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a simpler name, got the humiliation of his life for believing a false theory…

Theory: Anita Sharma has the hots for Narottam.
Experiment: Narottam to ask her out by wolf whistling her down college corridors singing Hindi songs with the subtle elegance of a 1980s Jeetendra movie.
Result: Rakhee on the wrist.
Conclusion: Anita Sharma is a lesbian.

Well things have changed. The last I heard about Narottam that he was working for some NGO and elevated himself to the position of Distribution Head of free condoms in red light areas. Good that he has moved on from that Rakhee disaster.

But how in earth Anita agreed to marry this B? If B then what happened to that out of the world size (I mean health wise) chap? Didn't these two used to spend every moment together, except while visiting the loo? So how and when B managed to squeeze in-between the big chap and Anita? Thought of asking but I don't know how I didn't.

Anita brought back memories of another great friend, Babua. Highly confident and self motivating (thanks to that heavy bank account of his father). In true sense, the only person among us who always planned for the future - 2 crates of beer instead of 1. Babua was always sure what he wanted to do. Due to the rampant spread of HIV he realized pornography is not a good career option. Instead he decided to reduce the fat bank account of his father by doing nothing. Last update was – it was already half and his father already had 3 major attacks and Agra mental asylum doctors are on his speed dial. Babua got motivated after Narottam was humiliated by the Rakhee episode. For a change Babua decided to do the wolf whistling act. I am not sure what he did or tried to do but he got a tight slap instead of Rakhee, followed by that un-uttered dialogue – How the hell you are still alive and roaming in the corridor when rest of your siblings and members of your brethren are flushed down the toilet drain today morning?

My thoughts were interrupted by B. Lets go for dinner together to celebrate the reunion. I was half reluctant as it was uncomfortable carrying me in the oversize underwear that I was putting on. How and why I bought oversize underwear at the first place need not have to be mentioned here. Since saying no would be some kind of rudeness and I had the resolution of the year, not to be rude to anyone, not even to the beer shop owner if he doesn't keep the shop open after 1 A.M. We three and a dozen buy-one, get-one free underwear went to the basement eatery for our dinner.

Before I could start flipping the menu, I hear a loud thud; as if half a dozen AK-47s went off at one go along with 3-4 grenades exploding at once. Ohh God. Save me. Hope it is not another 26/11 and let this eatery be not another Café Leopold.

Relax.., said B. "I had Rajma for lunch". Thank God. I had the first hand detail and did strike out Chana Masala from ordering. Thankfully nothing untoward happened after, except for that unwanted distraction of AK-47s going off every now-and-then. Done with our dinner and a happy tummy and worried nose and ear, I bid good bye to the couple with a promise that we would keep on meeting. Let's see what life has in store for me.

"Beginning of the End……"
