Hey Deva Shree Ganeshaa, we eagerly await your arrival in the
city of screams! Before you arrive, suggest you carefully
chart out a route plan in a manner that the road should be
less shaken; of course, it is a stupendous task especially
what with caught holes every where and where none seems to
care! On a related note, the scenario in this year is more or
less similar to that in the previous year and all years
preceding last; crime seems to have learnt to withstand all
tests of time, buildings are taller, people appear smaller,
pockets get feebler, prices are steeper and slum-pockets are
even deeper! What's more, comedy and laughter episodes on TV
continue to be serial-killers; parents, grand-parents and
great grand-parents on all the Ek Tha Kasoor serials, beat
age-related ailments to appear Fair, Lovely and Handsome in
all their birth, death, incarnation and reincarnation at all
times of the day and night; Mahesh Bhattak & Co continue to
present all kinds of Raaz, Murder and Jism sequels and
prequels in what they think is Jannat for the larger audience
- seriously, not Sunny! In what MIGHT appear to be a good news
this year, a terrorist was recently sentenced to death on
charges of waging a war against the nation; before one can
rejoice, the deathly gallows have already proven to be hollow!
Hence, on your next visit and many more visits in the
following years, he might be alive and waiting to hear on a
mercy plea from the not-so-decently-appointed President of
India; bole toh, Guru ho ya Kasab, koi na jaane kab hoga inka
hisaab-kitaab!!
