Bomb Blast and Flatulence

I was kind of inspired to pen this crap as a continuation of couple of outpourings I did in response to two articles in rediff. Yes Yes I did become one of the dogs chasing the speeding car ( The group which  writes really angry and "makes no sense" comments on the website) .

The first article headline kind of shook me as it said "Fact finding team finds loopholes in Delhi encounter" (http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/sep/26delblast3.htm?zcc=rl). Like one of those gooey eyed morons getting sucked into the pyramid schemes I clicked the link with trembling hands and entered the magical world of imbeciles residing at the rediff editorial team. The fact finding team consisted of 14 highly capable investigators headed by an truly impartial and committed only to the cause of truth Professor Siddique Hassan , wait ! it gets better he has additional responsibility of dy. amir Jamat-e-Islami Hind an organisation committed to communal peace and harmony. He was ably supported by champion of secular movement and goodwill ambassador for India on the Kashmir issue SAR Geelani. "Then There Were 12" , people so respected in field of investigative research that there is a serious research going on actually who these people are ( See I told you they are good).   Now the Article mentions about the relentless pursuit for the hidden truth which has taken substantial sheen off Fox moulder and Agent Scully. In fact the techniques used were so good and stunning , to say the least Sony and Colors are fighting over rights to convert them into a realty series , I am sure aaj tak and India TV ( India's leading fiction TV channels) would by the time I am writing this ramble would have beaten them to it. The clinching evidence "The committee says that in case the shots had been fired from a distance then the wounds would have opened up, but in this case that had not happened"   Let the ballistics be damned our team was so good one look at the photo and they could tell you what happened. I am getting convinced these guys are too good for Indian television and CBS might just pick this up for coming fall line up. They would have come up with even more damning proof but one small glitch "People were nervous and requesting the team not to mention their names under any circumstances".Aah ! So sad no damn court , no committee if the damn people were not so scared ,the truth would have been out there. In my school days venn diagrams would come in my dream and always throw me out of the  universe of intelligent people but now the team used the theory to prove the culpable crime of Delhi police , you know what "The team said they could not find a single person in the locality who believed the police version of events. " So the police version is destined to the crap of universe, but the team in its infinite wisdom missed one explanation . Having gone through the entire article I realised why the fuck have they forgotten to mention about Inspector Sharma, so I decided to come to their aid. Here it goes "Sharma and his team reach the secular neighborhood of Jamia Nagar and  randomly chose an apartment with four peace loving secular students (Incidentally one of the guys arrested in Bombay a week earlier also by mistake choses the same guys randomly as associated with flatulence induced blast across the country). Then they follow this sequence of events "Initially there were gunshots for 15 minutes. Then it stopped for a while. Then after a while the police went on firing intermittently for sometime to show that it was a real encounter. In between, the police went on shouting loudly to create a feeling of real exchange of fire and project a real encounter. The witnesses also said after the firing, the police had destroyed the flowerpots of the L-18 flat and adjacent flats and used broken pots to break windowpanes of L-18 to make it look like a real encounter ".  Then police carried a cache of AK 47 and other ammunition a (receipt for withdrawal from the government armory is available with the team)  and placed it in the house of the four innocent secular peace loving students. Then the unthinkable happened consumed by the guilt of having killed the peacniks Inspector Sharma in moment of rage then took of his shoes and jammed his pinky into the AK 47  trigger and shot himself dead , what a dumb ass.

More than the the highly evolved and committed to the cause of truth 'fact finding team' it is the nincompoops at rediff that surprise me. I fully agree with the  view that every society should have avenue for expressing the sentiments against popular perception . But it seems that some new partially evolved simians is in charge at rediff for last three weeks at least. Partially evolved since they have the ability to convert a rambling into headline news. This is probably third or fourth such article where a bunch of nobodies counter viewpoint to popular perception has been presented as news item. My message to the the simians in the sign language is "morons wake and smell the banana shake , credibility may not be high point of Aaj Tak and India TV but you imbeciles have some past reputation to defend , ask some retarded fucker to actually read the article before you post it, it would make more sense than it is presently"

Shards of Sharpenel

Shards of shrapnel are the pieces that remain embedded in your body ages after the blast. All surgeons try to extract as many pieces as possible but there are some pieces that remain so entrenched into the body that it is in the best interest of everybody to leave them there. Those pieces are like the bookmarks in the our life history. Every relationship that goes bust in our life is like a blast ( I guess in that is why they are referred to as blast from past), and they leave shrapnel wounds some temporary , some leave scar and some remain embedded in our body. And one of those rainy evenings these small pieces of metal from the past inflict a small bearable pain , but pain nonetheless.
It is better to love and lose it than never been loved at all and it is even better to love and lose it and find love again. Relationship failure usually leaves us with a shrapnel wound in most cases but yes there are rare cases of fatal one's, but I am talking mortals and select few can always be explained as exception.
In retrospect all mistakes can be corrected or fate can be made a willing accomplice but it is in flashing moment of truth that lines of reason get blurred and moments of madness destroy what is sacred. Every relationship that did not culminate in a way which is widely accepted as success leaves a galaxy of wisdom and it is these pieces of matter that form the building blocks of future universe. There painful memories remind us also of good times that preceded them and also it brings with it the realisation there are moments in life when we gave precedence to some one else other than ourselves and how it felt. It is this very realisation that makes us love once again and in spite of the embedded pieces of metal the soldier moves on to next battle and well and truly believes this will be a victorious one.
But never forget that the shards also make you leave a piece of you behind and always and always keeps a "what if ?" moment somewhere , sometime in some future in some unexpected bend.
