Homme’s Curses

Author: Dr. K.S. Kang

Man gets totally disparate and helpless when he cannot go to any place he likes at any time in any weather, though he has sufficient resources to do so. Likewise he can’t use and get things that he has paid for. Similarly when a man cannot meet the people whom he wants to meet, though he has sufficient time, resources and money to buy a ticket to get to that place. The height of helplessness is when he cannot use a thing that he had bought from his money, and even if that thing gets untidy he has soaps and detergents and even a domestic help whose salary he pays from his pocket. Let the anger, frustration, resulting from this disparate situation, pent up in mind flow like a molten lava from an erupting volcano though it may do harm by burning the surroundings but it may do much more harm if it remains closed inside, so let it flow freely and fully so as to achieve the state of harmony after a period of anarchy or to achieve catharsis after a catastrophe.

I wanted to undertake a journey with a noble aim to collect material to write the life story of my mother as a tribute to that noble and great lady but I was brutally and cruelly denied this opportunity by the so called friends, relatives and near and dear ones that has put back my project by six months atleast if I am fortunate enough to undertake this journey in next couple of months. Perhaps I may never complete it within the current life span and more over I feel defeated rather vanquished when I am unable to fulfil the promises made to the people though as a player I have been taught to accept defeat gracefully with dignity but this loss of face has resulted in the loss of my credibility now no longer those people will believe in me whom I had promised that the I will return soon after a gap. Only God knows whether I will be able to achieve my dream project of paying tribute to my noble mother( though everybody’s mother is a noble lady) in this life. I am also not sure whether God will grant me another human life in next birth enabling me to complete this project. My only hope is to complete this project in this life and so I pray to Almighty to give me health, energy and adequate resources in this life to finish this noble filial task, Amen !.

A Strange Theft

Author: Dr. K. S. Kang

A few days ago a strange incident took place in my neighbourhood. In the colony where I reside thieves showed heart to bring a motorised cycle rickshaw to transport the booty of their loot. However their enterprise fell short of success due to waking up of a neighbour named Arshinder Singh in time, who was better known by his childhood nickname Lony. Earlier also he had thwarted the attempts of theft by waking up and alerting the people in time and thus frustrating the attempts of the burglars. They were so much disturbed over his repeated interference in their enterprise due to his habit of insomnia that they have started considering him as a former thief and have also started of making him a partner in their enterprise. This fellow was so much well known by his nickname that even the postman who brings regularly for him also knows his name to be Lony as it is difficult for the people to pronounce rather the tongue twister Arshinder. Even his neighbours refuse to recognise him by his real name as they only know him by his nickname Lony and return a number of letter that come in his real name if he is not around as very few people in the neighbourhood know his real name.’

Coming to the main point of the incident. Due to waking up of Lony thieves had no option left but to make an honourable retreat and they even left behind their vehicle that they had brought to facilitate the transport of their booty. In the morning Chief of the Thieves outwitted them by reaching the police station earlier than them to lodge a protest of his missing vehicle along with merchandise in it from his home. Had the Chief of the Thieves had remained contented by complaining about his missing vehicle only it would have been alright but he was trapped in his own greed when he also complained about his missing goods. SHO sent a constable to investigate the matter and they soon found his missing vehicle outside the house where Lony lived. Police called the pliant in order to hand over his recovered vehicle bur before that Lony had a look at the complaint that mentioned the missing goods as well in the complaint along with the rickshaw. When Lony pointed out that to the constable he asked the Chief Thief to give the details of missing goods mentioned by him along with documents. When he was unable to do so and showed his interest only in getting back his vehicle, the constable again took him to police before SHO for further investigation into the matter. Now the Chief Thief was in trouble as he was unable to give the details of his missing goods along with the vouchers. He had tried to have a first laugh by acting smart by complaining in the police station earlier than the people of our neighbourhood bur now he was preparing himself to laugh from the other side of the body. It was due to keen sixth sense shown by Lony by getting up in time and alerting his neighbours during the night and his keen eye that spotted the list of goods mentioned by the Head of the Thieves in his complaint during the day that brought the real culprit to justice.

On Time : Courtesy Natural Intervention

I am an infrequent and casual member of the Pickle Ball Game Club. Whenever I have time and proper temperament I visit the club to play a couple of games of this new sport. One day an interesting incident took place when I received a message on my mobile phone to reach the club to play a game of Pickle Ball at 6.15 p.m with a person of some eminence who was interested in playing this nascent game. I was too busy that evening to keep an eye on the inbox messages of Whats App. Next morning when I looked up in the message box of my Whatapp account after going through the newspaper cursorily I spotted this message and after reading it thought that I had missed the opportunity to have a game with this celebrity as I did not see the message a day earlier.

But my sixth sense took me to the club in the morning despite the knowledge that due to my negligence I had missed the opportunity of playing a couple of games with this person of eminence. As I entered the club I was pleasantly surprised when one of my club fellow introduced me to a new person who wanted to play the game. During the game it was another pleasant surprise to know that he was the same person who was supposed to play in the evening a day earlier but some thing withheld him to come in the evening so he decided to come in the morning next day instead. After the gruelling game in equally gruelling temperature of nearly 35 degrees even in the morning I came to know that due to sand storm and a light drizzle that person could not come to the club in the evening a day earlier as planned and so he was there in the morning to play with us. I was glad to know that I had not missed the opportunity rather I was on time due tot he courtesy of natural intervention in the form of sand storm and rain that withheld him to come to the club in the evening a day earlier.
