dear v-s gopalji,
thanks a lot for wonderful elucidation. i am with you. this is real fact. but my question is not related to them. it is a question ram asked from rahim. i have not elaborated as to who they are. i am leaving this to the imagination of the people.
this is something about inter personal and intra-group communications. i will come back with my explanation tomorrow. . regards. rajee.

hi,
99 percent of rams and 99 percent of rahims are great friends.for jihadic and related reasons, the other 1 percent of rahims go berserk and the other 1 percent of rams retaliate with compound interest.
this seems to be the pattern!!!!!
but on the whole, the peace and friendship is largely superficial, and the cultural divide between rams and rahims is enormous, and we are only fooling ourselves about great amity.
cheers!!!

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD---- SOME GUESSES!
WHY DID CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD---TELL ME WHO IS RIGHT?
Sep 10 2008 | Views 1207 | Comments (34) | Report Abuse
WHY DID CHICK CROSS THE ROAD?
Dear Sulekhaites! I have just now got an interesting mail from some one. It is hillarious. I thought I will share it with you. After reading it, can you tell me who is right? I have slightly amended. Read on:-
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Name Why did the chicken cross the road?
KINDERGARTEN BOY To get to the other side.
PLATO For the greater good.
ARISTOTLE It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.
KARL MARX It was a historical inevitability.
TIMOTHY LEARY Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
HIPPOCRATES Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
MOSES And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, 'Thou shalt cross the road.' And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
RICHARD M. NIXON The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.
MACHIAVELLI The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.
BILL GATES The newly released Chicken 2008, will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
DARWIN Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.
EINSTEIN Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference and relativity.
GEORGE BUSH We are committed to establishing a democracy where chickens freely cross roads without oppression from terrorist organizations.
Azharuddin I am totally innocent, you know, I'm unnecessarily being dragged into this, you know, because I'm from the minority..... I neither know the chicken nor the road, you know....
George Fernandes I am deeply hurt that this question is being asked after my 40 clean years of public life. I don't own a house, or a car, leave alone a chicken !!!
Mulayam I demand a 50% reservation of the road for the chicken class, so that they can cross the road freely without their motives being questioned
ARJUN SINGH Our policy will ensure the development of socially underprivileged chickens so that they can also cross roads.
Abdul Kalam Yes, why did the chickens cross the road? .. please tell me why? .. they crossed to go to the other side of the road... now repeat after me ....
Advani I see Pakistani hand in this ...
Vatal Nagaraj No Tamil or outside chickens will be allowed to cross our roads, our roads are meant only for Kanadiga chickens!.
Bal Thackarey Chickens crossing the roads is against our culture, my followers will stone all such chickens which cross the road.
Jayalalithaa From reliable sources I've got the information that the chicken belongs to Karunanidhi. He is making his chicken cross the road to create law & order problems. The chicken has now been imprisoned under POTA.
Amitabh Bachhan The chicken has crossed the road?.. are you sure.. very sure ... really sure...
Venkaiah Naidu 'We are very sure of the fact that the chicken did not cross the road. It's a conspiracy by the congress. The poor chicken has been made a scapegoat in this whole issue'
KARAT We are adopting a wait and watch policy. We have convened a meeting of the third front today. We will decide the future course of action after the chicken comes back..
Maneka Gandhi Chicken crossed the road alone...!! If a vehicle had passed over it, we would have lost one of our dearest creatures. Ban all vehicles from using the road. Protect our chickens...
Now if you add Manmohan singh, Sonia Gandhi , Vajpayee, Mayawati and Rahul Gandhi, what would be the answers? Any guesses? Well, my take is:
MANMOHAN SINGH I know the opposition leader has been
sending this Chik to the Astrologer,
Who Lives across the road.
SONIA GANDHI This is a conspiracy by the opposition to
destabilise UPA. Sh Rajeev Gandhi
ji Ka Yeh Sapna Thaa Ki Koi Cchicken aise
Sadak paar nahi GHOOME.
VAJPAYEE Chicken-----Chicken------Chiken?
kya zaroorat thi Sadak Paar Karne Ki?
Ham toh abh bhi idhar hi hai.
MAYAWATI Yeh MANUWADIYON ki mere khilaaf
SAZISH hai. Khud CHICKEN ko
Sadak ke paar bhejte hai takih woh
mar jayeaur mujhePARDHAN MANTRI
ban jaane se rok liya jaye.
RAHUL GANDHI Jab main pichhli chhutiyon mein AMETHI
gaya thaa toh "KALAWATI" ne mujhe
rote hue batayaa thaa ki uska
CHICKEN chori ho gaya hai.
yeh wohi chicken hai
Added by the viewer SHAIL MOHAN:-
This is extremely hilarious!! Now let me try my hand and add to the above:
Grandma: Baapre, chicken road cross kiya?? Aaj kal ke chicken bhi na... Ram Ram....
Mom: What?? I told you to keep the chicken in the fridge!! What will I cook tonight??
Dad: Arre... The chicken crossed the road obviously because the football stadium was on the other side!! Don't come to me with silly questions like this!! (goes back to watching football on TV)
Teenage girl: Of course the chicken crossed the road to go to the Mall to hang out with her boyfriend.
Teenage Boy: Chicken crossed the road?? And why not?? Its all because of the generation gap! These parents can never understand chickens!
Shahrukh Khan: Ch..ch..ch..chicken crossed the road to meet K...k..k...k..kiran!
Dharmendra: Oye chicken crossed the road?? Uski ye himmat.... Mai uska khoon pi jaunga!!
ADDED BY RAMESH007
:-) All are lying.... No one knows... No one has asked Chicken themselves! :-)
If you need to ask Chicken you would need so called Journalists:
Rajdeep Sardesai" : "Reply to this Mr. Chicken.. Reply to this... Why do you really cross roads? Aren't hamaam mein sab nange hai.. this side so you are crossing away?"
Barkha Dutt:" I guinenly want to know...please explain why do you Cross? Are you habitual Cross voters..."
Vikram: "I doubt your motive ... you have never answered why you crossed?.. I guess... you are crossing the "deal" !"
Pranoy Roy: "Mr. Chicken Sir... may I ask you, if you are ready to answer... Why do you Cross the road?... Dohrab is saying statistically 45% of Chickens die to to Hit and Run cases while Crossing..."
Dohrab Supariwala: "Pranoy... actually more die in Bihar due to Flodding than Hit and run while crossing Villages... the trend is higher in rural than towns... in J&K they are simply eaten... in Orrisa too they are simply eaten ... only 10% die due to Hit and RUn... hence they can Cross"!!
ADDED BY BINA GUPTA
the chicken crossed the road as other side has less potholes
the chicken crossed the road to get away from roadside romeos
the chicken crossed the road as daddy was coming this way
the chicken crossed the road as vikram karve was coming with a kadaii

A LETTER TO MY GRAND CHILD---- IF I BECAME PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA?
TO MY GREAT GRAND CHILD-- IF I BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA! Let us debate contesT-8

TO MY GREAT GRAND CHILD--WHEN I BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA!
(A GUEST ENTRY -NOT FOR CONSIDERATION)
It is the year 2008. When you read this write-up, we might be around halfway down the 21st century or say it might be between the years 2045-50. Am I right? Anyway does not matter.
Why do I write to you? Well, it is to inform you as to how I had nearly changed the course of the Indian society you live in or at least identify with? To be very frank, I had almost pulled it out of the abyss it had got into and had a vision to give it new direction.
I am not very sure whether you are an Indian citizen or US. Your grandfather had left India’s shores in the year 2006 AD because he found there were no opportunities for talent and merit, then. He had hated this kind of uncertain, unequal and imbalanced approach at the national level. He was bubbling with enthusiasm to grow in life, wanted to race to sky in shortest possible time. He had no chance to make it here, so he left. He could do so but I could not. The difference was my emotional attachment with this soil. I was the son of a farmer; he was the son of a senior army officer---the difference in status made all the difference. I resolved to stay and fight it on.
But India, then, was a mass of incompetent, inefficient corrupt, scandalous, greedy and immoral leaders, whether political, regional, religious, administrative or whatever walk of life. India was too engrossed with trivial matters because focus was on individual identities. Political parties to religions to regions—every thing had become personal fiefdom of a few individuals. And these one percent people with personal agendas decided the fate of other 99 percent.
There was time in 1992 that India had to fly all its gold to UK to mortgage it to take loans to get out of the murky financial state, India had landed in due to years of faulty Economic planning. A man called Man Mohan Singh rose phoenix like from the economic ruins and put us on a liberal growth and development. Over the years, the growth became lopsided, the rich became richer and poor became poorest. A nation of 1160 million people had become a real mess within 15 years of liberalization. Conditions like French revolution of 1789 had been created.
Everywhere there was noise of reservation based on religion, caste and region. There were unwanted debates on non-issues like secularism, religion, freedom liberty, media rights, democracy, judicial corruption, political indifference. Violence and corruption had reached a level of ‘no-return’. Terrorism and militancy had raised inexorable head. Every region, religion and community was singing its own songs. In this INDIA hardly any INDIAN lived.
You will wonder why? My answer is simple. No one was interested in India and Indianess. We were Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians. If this was not adequate, we divided ourselves into Punjabis, Tamils, Marathas, Guajarati, Kashmiris, Asamese, Nagas, Biharis, Mizos, Manipuris, Bengalis, Sikkimese, Rajsthanis and what not. We failed to identify ourselves with India. This was so both with educated and illiterate. In fact educated elite identified itself more with religious, regional and lingual identities. A Raj Thakre here and Mehbooba Mufti there, would start an agitation either on what language people should speak in a particular region or why a piece of land should not be given to some community. No one was interested in the real problems of the people. THE EDUCATED ELITE HAD MISGUIDED THEIR COMMUNITIES, CASTES, RELIGIONS, REGIONS and LINGUAL FRATENITIES in ORDER TO RETAIN THEIR GRIPS ON THEM. We know from our history that it was the biggest bane of Indian society to allow itself to be emotionally exploited on these grounds. We were thus a nation waiting to be fragmented when I stepped in.
The World Bank report that year had stated that 42 percent Indians live on Rs 30 a day. It is a laughable sum for you today, because you might be getting a pocket money of rupees 30/- second. I am sure India in your times must be a prosperous nation. But it was ranked 94th poor country in my times. It was no where in sports. The nation went mad with celebrations after three of its people had won three medals in Beijing Olympics. Imagine 1.16 billion people and three medals. Even Jamaica was miles ahead. It is not even one-tenth of India in size and population.
All the same, there was no dearth of talents and ideas in my times. You needed a person who could divert the attention of the nation from the frivolous fights. You needed a strong man—almost a dictator to push forward his selfless agenda ruthlessly, no matter, if some genuine people suffer. This was the premium nation had to pay for its development and growth at par with its biggest competitor of your times, i.e. People Republic of China. They were many years ahead of us and they had proved it in the BEIJING OLYMPICS they had organized in 2008. It had happened because the priority and focus of Chinese leadership was on growth, development and progress, through education, safety and security. They had said Liberty and democracy can be introduced in a controlled manner. I tell you, in the year2008, USA the SUPREME POWER of the world, then if at all was scared of competition it was China. All others, including India, were its “Surrogates”.
Fortunately, for India, a unique experiment was carried out by Election Commission of India. After the UPA government of Man Mohan Singh decided to have general elections, the commission realized that the cost of elections was unbearable for India. The reason was the uncertainty after the elections. Some concerned people raised hue and cry.
One of the front runners in that lot of concerned people was a patriotic Indian, temporarily settled and working in New York, USA. A son of a great teacher and philosopher, he had strong in built moral qualities. I do not know his real name because he never showed up after that. His pen name was Ramesh 007. He made a suggestion to election commission that voting be conducted on- line. This idea was supported by many right thinking people and I also jumped in.
After great deliberations, Election Commission Of India, decided to hold direct on-line elections for the Prime Minister. A web site, called SULEKHA. COM was given this task. This had millions of Indians as its on-line menbers world wide. I won’t be surprised, if the membership had touched almost 4-500 millions. If this site is still there, check records with its management. I was member of this site. I used to blog there—not very popular because I was a straight forward and too out- spoken to be diplomatic. I could annoy friends when it came to speaking the truth. I never minced my words when pointing out the flaws in the flimsy poems of the people. I was overly critical. People say VIRGOS are like this. May be, my army background, also, prevented me from putting up an act.
Then, one day your great grand ma got annoyed on this because she felt I did not know how to appreciate people. She reminded me that I suffered from HALO EFFECT. It meant that I used to only look up to those people and appreciate those who exhibited similar views and sentiments. She forcefully told me that FIVE FINGERS were not equal. To say the least, I left writing poetry and stopped commenting on poets. If I did, I had to be there only with positive remarks, otherwise quietly scoot.
Anyway, I too gave my name as a candidate for election to the prime ministership. Surprisingly, when the election was held on line, the Sulekha population voted heavily in my favour. I was stunned, when results were announced. I was declared winner to be the Prime Minister of India. Luckily, I was free to choose my own ministers. I was going to be the strongest Prime Minister without any pulls and pressures of party politics. This was the turning point in the political history of India.
I was to take over with effect from October 01, 2008. I sat down to work out my priorities and remain focused on the. Prior to elections, I had been debating with my self on the real problems of India. My brainstorming with self and your great grand ma narrowed down my priorities. My quest ended with just an acronym of five words, i.e. SPICE. It represented Security (S), Population growth (P), Identity crisis (I), Government Controls (c) and lack of Education (E). I could reduce and relate all other problems to this denominator.
Corruption, Violence, Terrorism, Insurgency, Communal riots, Regionalism, Lingual Upsurge and Religious Aggressiveness---all could be controlled if we tackled SPICE with earnest zeal and sincere purpose. These were my commandments of INDIA’s MARCH towards, growth, progress, development safety, security and INDIANISATION. I append them in the following paragraphs.
Security. It must be noted that nothing can be done unless there is peace and harmony. Growth and development can take place only if our homes are safe and secure. Today, danger to our security is more from internal foes, then external foes. We have to think of internal security. We have a large number of cleavages in terms of regional, communal, religious, lingual and ethnical troughs, which are vulnerable points for exploitation by our enemies today and in the future. I must act on two fronts of external threat and internal threat. Some of the measures I had planned to introduce were:-
-Vitalize and reorganize my internal security forces. We might have to have a rethink on the reorganization of state police mechanism to enable it to tackle violence, riots and terrorism, whether external or internal. Internal security force must be an all India force. Its members must be all India cadres. Each district of India should have a battalion of 1000 people placed along with the district police.
-Law and order must not be exclusively state subject. The power of the police should be cut down to only investigation and filing of criminal complaints. It must be made mandatory for each police station to file FIR in every case. The FIR lodging procedures must be simplified.
-Intelligence agencies be made more responsive to the modern day problems of violence, riots and terrorism. There should be only one agency controlling all kind of intelligence in the state.
-External security force be trimmed and made capable of fighting SMART and DESIGNER WARS. In so doing there is a requirement of greatest coordination amongst three forces. Thus the post of CDS (Chief of Defence Staff—A five star general) be created to closely and intimately control Army, navy and air force.
-Defence ministry be bifurcated into two wings i.e. IS (Internal Security) wing and ES (external security) Wing. Each wing must be placed under a minister of state for defence.
-CORRUPT and DERELICTING public servants. To remove insecurity from the public minds, public servants, including MLAs & MPS were to be summarily dismissed if found indulging in corrupt practices. All Public servants were asked to file annual return on purchase of items worth Rs 20,000 or more. Non-filing will invite not only confiscation but also dismissal.
-Media to be made responsible and partner in nation building. They will be debarred from propping up criminals and terrorists in the name of freedom of speech. There will be severe punishments.
Population Control This is the biggest bugbear of India. It is not getting any attention. Education has not been able to reduce the growth. It is really exploding. All the progress India makes is eaten up by its rising waves. It has to be checked, if need be forcibly. I am votary to what Sanjay Gandhi had thought of it some 33 years back. His point is as valid now as it was then. Unfortunately, some over jealous bureaucrats and politicians made a mess of his BEAUTIFUL POINT. Time has come when we have to launch ONE CHILD NORM forcibly. We will give incentives to those who have only one child. We will punish those who have more than one child. CARROT & STICK policy is needed to tackle this. This must be the national priority. Time had come for us to take HARSH measures as appended below:-
-Incentives in the form of free education up to post graduation.
-Accelerated Promotion will be given to those who are childless for first five
years of marriage. Double promotion to those who remain childless for 15 years of
marriage.
-Punitive actions in the form of loss of job, demotion and denial of
reservation in schools, colleges and government jobs.
-A Child tax be levied on those who have more than one child.
-Close monitor of population at district level. incentive to bureaucrats.
Identity Crisis. This is another major area I had planned to concentrate. I had simply planned to ban carrying of religions and regions on our sleeves. I had resolved to tell everyone that as long as I were the PRIME MINISTER, only Indians would live in India. All those with PAN-NATIONAL identities were welcome to leave for the nations, they adore. I had full scheme to ban all Govt officials, whether state or Central, from attending any religious and regional functions. All those being caught were to be summarily dismissed. The mention of religion and caste on any official documents was to be banned. I had visualised following stiff measures:-
-Any Indian can buy property anywhere in the country. All special laws would be withdrawn—such as hill states denying land to outsiders; some state not allowing purchase of agricultural land, if one was not a farmer. I had also decided to abrogate article 370. Some leaders from Kashmir would be rounded before hand and sent into IGNONIMITY for a year. All second rung leaders were also to be arrested and sent to places, their forefathers had not visited. Kashmir will squeak for few days and then quite will flow the VITSTA RIVER (Jhelum) for rest of my tenure. I will never hear those vociferous Kashmir’s ISI agents, masquerading as leaders. I had learnt this from Sh Beant Singh and Hiteshwar Saikia, both chief Ministers of their states, Punjab and Assam respectively in the early 90’s. After their death, India never had a nationalistic leader of their stature.
-ONE COUNTRY ONE LAW. India is for Indians. Call it secular or Non-secular but there will be only one law for everyone—whatever religion or region one belongs to. I had planned to this incorporate in the constitution. I had already thought of abrogating special privileges to various states. All cases of reservations on caste, creed and backwardness were to be considered keeping in mind population law. I will stop the open ending philosophy of reservation. I will fix the time of five years. No more reservation, thereafter as we were having free and compulsory education up to graduation level.
-Identity number I had planned to give an identity number to each Indian. This would be his real identity. This number would be given at the time of birth registration and it will continue through out one’s life. It would have replaced religion and caste based names ultimately. This would have helped ending the caste, creed and religious divisions. This number had Mohalla/street/Town-city-village/district/state and 16 digits numerical number. It would have REPLACED INDIVIDUAL NAMES—the root cause of all our problems which keep CASTE, CREED and RELIGION publically alive. It might take some time in implementation. There are bureaucratic and vested interest objections. But I will push through if I am elected for one more tenure.
Government Controls The main reason for corruption is when powers are centered in some persons. I intend to reduce government intervention and controls in all spheres. We have had enough of this BUREAUCRATIC-CONTRACTOR- POLITICIAN nexus. More controls help only some people. Government will oversee and not get involved in managing things. We will disinvest freely. I will study more after I take over and then see what else can be done.
Education It will be free for everyone up to graduation level except professional education. The professional education will begin only after normal graduation. We want Indians to be well aware of what a graduate ought to know. There will be one syllabus for the whole country. It will be standardized. I will discourage Private schools. All religious schools and institutes will be closed. If they want to have community -specific schools, they will provide free education as per the standardized syllabus. Admissions will have to be given to all students without caste, creed and religious preferences. There will be severe punishments for drop outs and also for the parents.

Dear Great grand child,
I wrote this letter before I was slated to take over as Prime Minister. I was all set mentally and prepared to do my duty earnestly. So, I waited anxiously. But, you see the time to take over never came. Why? Because your ‘great grand ma’ had woken me up from my sleep. And I was disturbed. I got up and came to my lap top. I rewrote whatever I had written to you in my dream and I am now posting it as a blog on SULEKHA BLOGS. Perhaps, one day you might read it. Won’t you dear, 8/B/N/P 9988776655443322 , my great grand child?

ENGLISH POEM ( New)--- IN MY LIFE,s JOURNEY----
AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MY HINDI POEM----- CHALTE CHALTE
In my life's journey where have I reached?
As and when I look back, dimmed images I see.
Of course, I do remember the laps of my mother-
Compound of my house and the "RAKHI" of my sisters;
I can not forget those dreamy days, it seems-
Look, where have I landed chasing those dreams?
In my life's journey where have I reached?
As and when I look back, dimmed images I see.
I marched over unknown paths with countless detours,
I kept going fearlessly, for I was focussed on my core;
I did not look back ever, what an obsession it was ?
Friends parted, relations collapsed, as restless I was.
In my life's journey where have I reached?
when I look back, dimmed images I see.
when I do recollect the momemts which have gone-
I find them woven with tales of my selfishness alone;
I neglected my parents but they definitely did not,
My uncaring attitude though spiked them a lot.
In my life's journey where have I reached?
As and when I look back, dimmed images I see.
There is still a chance today, stop in your strides;
Wake up from your sleep and have a reality ride!
It is the time to live a truthful life, "Rajee" dear--
And thank you may God for reaching the sixtieth year.
In my life's journey where have I reached?
As and when I look back, dimmed images I see.

HINDI POEM ( New)--- CHALTE CHALTE ---- HUM KAHAn
चलते चलते हम तो यह, कहां चले आए हैं?
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
याद हमको आती है, मां के उस आंचल की;
बहिनो की राखी की, घर के उस आंगन की।
कैसे भुलाएं वह दिन, जब सपने सजाए थे?
सपनो की टोह में फिर, कहां निकल आए यह?
चलते चलते हम तो यह, कहां चले आए हैं?
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
अनजान राहें थी और कितने ही मोड थे?
चलते रहे बे-फिक्र हम, अपनी ही होड में;
मुड के ना देखा कभी, कैसा यह जुनून था?
साथी छूटे, नाते टूटे दिल को न सुकून था।
चलते चलते हम तो यह, कहां चले आए हैं?
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
गुजरे हुए लम्हे कुछ, जब याद आते है?
हमारी खुदगर्जी के वह किस्से बताते है।
भूलें मां बाप को हम, वह न भूल पाए है?
उनके वदन में अनगनित कांटे चुभाए है।
चलते चलते हम तो यह, कहां चले आए हैं?
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
आज भी यह मौका है रोक लो कदम अपने,
जागो तुम नींद से, तोड दो यह झूठे सपने।
हकीकत में जीने के अब दिन"राजी" आए है-
शुक्र है खुदा का तुम्हे साठवें साल में लाए है।
चलते चलते हम तो यह, कहां चले आए हैं?
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
पीछे तो अपने अब, धुन्धले धुन्धले साए है।
याद हमको आती है, मां के उस आंचल की;

MASTERMIND!
It’s too late before I even realized that Vinod was mentally retarded since birth but had improved considerably. His mother, Brij Bala, had approached Preetam Singh for his daughter, Shilpi’s hand in marriage to her son. Vinod’s father, Rajeev Singh, was a scion of an old princely state in Uttaranchal.
Preetam had gone through the journal, containing records of the family properties of Rajeev. He had this journal of property records in his custody as he was the estate manager. A conservative estimate told him that combined worth of family properties was nothing less than Rs 150 Crores. Shilpi had married Vinod one year back. Life had been very kind to her till three months back, when suddenly a phone call one day, had put the family into a tizzy. The caller had informed that Vinod was kidnapped by them and the family must pay Rupees five Crores for his safe return. The caller had warned them against informing the police.
Rajeev could manage only one crore that day and he paid it to kidnappers. Kidnappers accepted the money but did not release Vinod till rest of the money had been paid. Next day, when Rajeev went to the fixed venue of meeting, he found no one there. He saw some policemen there. A trap had been laid by the police on inside information but the kidnappers never turned up. Three days later police recovered the dead body of Vinod. Shilpi suffered a mental shock but recovered within a week.
Rajeev consulted Shilpi’s father and decided to marry Shilpi to some other good boy. Luckily, they had found an old classmate of Shilpi, Sachin, who agreed to marry her. Marriage was fixed for September 05, 2008 ******************************************************************** Police had just busted a gang of ‘contract-killers’ three days back. Niranjan, the gang leader, informed inspector Ramesh that they were paid one crore rupees as contract for kidnapping and murdering Vinod. Ramesh mentally appreciated as to who would benefit more from the death of Vinod. He rushed to marriage venue. When he learnt this, Rajeev was shocked. Furious with anger, he wanted to kill Shilpi. But Niranjan intervened and said, “Sir, it is not this girl but that lady in the Golden Saree” “What rubbish? She is my wife, Vinod’s mother.” Rajeev said. “She is the lady” Niranjan insisted. At 11 PM, same day, Rajeev and Vineeta were watching “SANSANI” (Sensation) on Star News. Mr. Raj Vardhan Tiwary, in his own typical style, was explaining as to how a mother had planned a conspiracy in league with her paramour and their illegitimate son to eliminate her spastic son. The girl friend of her illegitimate son was part of the plan. “How much was Niranjan paid to get Brijbala off our backs?” Vineeta asked. “Business secret, dear” Rajeev said. “So, you knew Shilpi was not Preetam’s daughter.” Vineeta quizzed. “Of course. I, also, knew Preetam was Sachin’s father.” Rajeev replied. “This SANSANI story seems so true.” Vineeta said “When money speaks; the truth speaks.” Rajeev responded.

STIGMATISED LOVE(Flash Fiction)?

STIGMATISED LOVE (Flash Fiction)?
“No. you can not marry him” Naina was firm.
“But I love him; Satyajeet’s parents have agreed.” Sheena was reasoning out.
“Listen; Hindu laws do not permit this marriage” Naina said calmly.
“What rubbish is this mom?” Sheena was shocked.
“Come read this.” Naina threw an old black diary at Sheena.
It was a diary of some Shameena Khan. It began on January 01, 1984. Sheena started reading the diary, selectively.
************************************************************************
01 January 1984
The party last night was superb. I danced with Navkesh. He is studying in the final year of Electrical Engineering at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.
21February 1984
Amma (Mother) was disturbed a bit. Papa was transferred to Leh (Laddakh). He will be leaving in a fortnight.
23 March 1984.
I had some problem with my periods. Navkessh took me to a gynecologist. The report was positive. I am worried. Navkesh promises to marry me
18 July 1984.
Navkesh’s mother has agreed. But they are unsure of his father. Auntie said she would persuade him. It is reassuring.
11August 1984
I and Navkesh leave home. Both of us have run away, in fact, because Navkesh’s father is very furious. He threatens to kill Navkesh. His mother suggests this course to us. She gave us Rs 10,000 for expenses. We reach New Delhi.
19 August 1984
Navkesh has been offered a job in the Delhi Vidyut Nigam.
27 October 1984
I was blessed with a beautiful daughter on 20 October.
31 October 1984
Mrs. Indira Gandhi has been assassinated by her two body guards. There are anti Sikh riots in the city. Navkesh has been out since morning. He has not come back. It is 11 PM. I am scared.
01 November 1984
No news of Navkesh. I hope his French beard and long hair do not give a wrong impression to the marauding mobs. Is he alive? If not, I will end my life, too.
************************************************************************
The diary had ended abruptly. There were no more entries. Sheena was silent for some time, then she spoke, “so, you are Shameena ?’
“No, not me. Your mother was” Naina was equally curt.
“What? You are not my mother”, Sheena was shocked.
“Not biologically. But it does not matter. I have been rearing you up for the past 24 years.” Naina was explaining.
“Then why are you not allowing me to marry Satyajeet” Sheena questioned.
“Biologically, you and Satyajeet are first cousins. Satyajeet’s mother is a real sister of Navkesh, your father. ” Naina said.
“How would anyone know?” Sheena begged.
“Navkesh and Shameena are alive and in USA. Shameena had to remarry Navkesh as Simran Kaur, as a riot-affected girl. His father had approved her. They had quietly given you to me because I was a childless widow and a land lord of the house.” Naina clarified.
“If it has to be a stigma, then they ought to be stigmatized. I will marry Satyajeet” Sheena rushed out of the house sobbing and cursing everyone.
WORDS COUNT: 497
