Alas ..

Alas, at long last came an occasion to celebrate, and celebrate they did! A build that finally worked! With a whole lot of infighting amongst the various elements that make up the politically charged scenario of a typical common workplace, the brilliance of a tall lanky dark stranger saved the day and 42 was the number where all seemed OK. (watch the build numbers, they count)

But hardly was the jubilation and triumph celebrated, and there arose a new crisis, a new situation, and a new way of looking at the same jumbled emotional atmosphere ! The Right audience, in this situation, let slip a shoddy comment about a green substance that he himself quoted as being unavailable when in a favourable situation while discussing it. (at an earlier, friendlier time). the nature of the comment was lost upon the audience, who merely suspected it to be a harmless, innocuous dig at a now turned-over-a-new-leaf manboy, but in reality, all it exposed was a desire to strike down upon a seeming threat to his dominance.

Accordingly, all changed and once again, the few bemused strangers adrift in a murky world of Indian Politics find themselves wondering whether the world is the right place for them after all.

Truly, it must be said, it was one fine dining experience!
