CORRUPTIONS IN THE NAME OF COMMISSIONS !!!

"WARRIORS:- ’Your Highness! Our enemies are going beyond their limits. They are testing our tolerance limits. We know that you are a very good and liberal King, but your good and humble nature is not at all scaring our enemies to attack the innocent people of our kingdom. We are waiting for your orders.'

KING:- ' Oho! Is it a sin to be a good and peace-loving King? I am confused now. How to tackle the attacks of our enemies? Our enemies are not in a mood to sign any peace treaty with us. What to do now?'

HERMIT:- ‘Your Highness! Massive destruction paves the way for new, innovative construction. If our enemies don't want to sign any peace treaty, then we hardly have any other option. We are bound to counter-attack our enemies; otherwise, the innocent people of our kingdom will get killed by them.'

KING:- 'But, I hate blood-sheds and violence. Is there no other way to defend ourselves from our enemies?'

WARRIORS:- 'Your Highness! Counter-Attack is the best Defense. If we will not get orders from you to destroy our enemies in the battlefield, then what for we have aspired to become great warriors. Order us!'

KING:- 'Ok! Destroy our enemies into ashes to create a new history of courage, brevity and patriotism.'

WARRIORS:- 'Thank you! Your Highness! We will fight till the last drops of our blood, but, next time, please make sure that we get modern Arms and Ammunitions. All the artilleries and other warfare weapons have become obsolete, which has indirectly given a big advantage to the armed forces of our enemies.'

KING:- 'What! How can they become obsolete? Is it true?'

GENERAL OF ARMED FORCES:- ‘Your Highness! Yes, it is true! Many firms have approached our armed forces and sold all their obsolete vehicles, arms, ammunitions and other warfare related things by giving around 25% commission to the top administrative committee of the Armed Forces. Even I have been offered bribes of 5000 Gold Coins with pure Hallmark for approving their deals. As an honest person, I have not taken that bribe.’

KING:- ‘The character of BHIBHISANA is more harmful than the character of RAVAANA. What should I do now?’

HERMIT:- ’Your Highness! This is a virus of ‘CORRUPTIONS IN THE NAME OF COMMISSIONS’. We will install some anti-virus in our bureaucratic level to wipe it out, though on a temporary basis, because we don’t know where the ‘Mother Program’ of this virus has been kept hidden. This may just be a tip of the ice-berg. You must be ready for other big surprises also. Now, let the warriors focus on war only both internal and external.’

KING:- ’Really! Now, I am feeling that I have been a very liberal King in my tenure and too much sweetness has caused diabetes for our kingdom. I have to become a strict King now.  Personally, I request all the common people of my kingdom to act like Whistleblowers now.’

ROYAL ASTROLOGER:- ’Your Highness! Already several Whistleblowers have given sacrifice for their honesty, loyalty and integrity towards their motherland. I can predict with 100% guarantee that Whistleblowers will stop blowing the whistle in the near future, unless you provide them full-fledged security by all means.’

KING:- ’Ok! I will provide them all the securities. Don’t worry! But, the virus of ‘CORRUPTIONS IN THE NAME OF COMMISSIONS (BRIBE)’ should be wiped out from our kingdom as early as possible; otherwise, I will be dethroned very soon. Oh! God! Please save this kingdom from corruption, if I fail in my mission!’"-Arindam Sain

HIS HUNDREDTH HUNDRED !!!

Chandidas:- Hurrah! At last! Oh! At last! He has achieved it after 33 innings from his 99^th century.

Yasodha:- That long wait for the century of centuries made this moment more special. Maybe, he was under too much pressure to achieve that feat.

Raichand:- When a batsman is on 99, usually, he plays under pressure and waste too many balls to get that single run. The same case was against the little master. But, now, he has become TONDULKAR.

Arindam:- This man, Sachin Tendulkar will remain as a terrific cricket icon for all times, because, he has taught everyone the essence and value of ‘PPP’. PPP stands for Perseverance, Performance and Professionalism. He is a masterpiece in displaying all the three qualities. After the 99^th ton, under the pressure, he neither lost his cool nor did he decide to retire. He waited patiently for the golden moment.

Heena:- But, the century came against a weak team, Bangladesh. Anybody can score a century against them.

Chandidas:- Boss, a century is a century. A performance is a performance, no matter, against which team you do it.  It is very easy to comment like that, unless you know the pain of batting in a pitch, where you have to work hard for scoring every run.

Raichand:- But, Bangladeshi batsman batted with ease. Maybe, the Indian bowlers were bowling like school-level bowlers to them. One Bengali of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee declared a very tough budget and on the other hand, the descendants of the Bengalis of the partitioned Bengal Province of 1911, gave too much pain to the Indian cricket team led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the Asia Cup of 2012.

Yasodha:- Please don’t take it otherwise, but, one thing, I have seen that in majority of ODI matches, where Sachin Tendulkar has scored centuries or made most of the runs in an innings, India has failed to win those matches.  Even in 1990’s or so, under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin, everyone used to criticize Indian Cricket Team as a one-man team. If Sachin used to score some runs on the board, Indian bowlers used to get some respectable runs on the board to defend, otherwise, I have seen India losing matches against Zimbabwe and Kenya also.

Arindam:- See, Sachin Tendulkar’s dream was to win the World Cup for India. His teammates responded well to his wish, and Indian cricket team lifted the World Cup under the cool captaincy of Dhoni. Saurav Ganguly also could have achieved that feat, but, as you know, the Indian bowlers forget everything about bowling at proper line and length under pressure. Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad; all flopped against Australia in the World Cup final and Ganguly was really helpless in that regard.  The similar case was with Dhoni in the match against Bangladesh. What can Dhoni do, if his bowlers are constantly bowling badly? There was one time, when Irfan Pathan used to get natural swings in both directions. Wasim Akram was also impressed with this lad, but, that bloody Greg Chappell destroyed the talents of Irfan Pathan by trying to make him an all-rounder.

Heena:- Well! Indian Cricket Team has always been a very inconsistent team. The recent tour in Australia has proved that.  But, the Kohinoor Diamond of the International Cricket is still shining brightly. Oh! Boy! Don’t go by his height! He can beat any demons by swinging his bat. Big bowlers like Glenn McGrath, Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Shaun Pollock, Allan Donald, Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee always regarded this little master as the No.1 batsman of the world.

Yasodha:- Hey, Heena! Probably, you missed out Shane Warne! The man who used to see Sachin Tendulkar hitting big sixes in his dreams also; heartiest congratulations to Sachin Tendulkar for achieving “HIS HUNDREDTH HUNDRED.”

CORRUPTION@ROOT LEVEL !!!

Mr.X:'My broker has posted a share redemption A/c Payee Cheque to my residential address by ordinary post 1 month back from Mumbai. How much time it takes to reach Kolkata? Earlier also, in many instances, I have not received the call letters of competitive exams. I went to give those exams with Call Letters downloaded from their respective websites. What's the matter! I am smelling something very fishy out here.' 

POSTMAN CUM CLERK IN POST OFFICE:'Relax! Relax! All our staffs of this Post Office know that a A/c Payee Cheque has come in your name. But, without paying something to us, how can you get that cheque.' 

Mr.X:'What the bloody hell is this? Do you know, if I complain against you, your job will be at stake!' 

HEAD CLERK OF POST OFFICE:'Hey, boss! To whom will you complain? You can prove nothing against us. We are yet to put the date seal of receipt on the envelope sent by your broker. So, we will put the date seal of that date, when you will pay the money to us. We also need to verify whether you are the correct receiver or not. There are so many frauds happening nowadays. Give us some money; then, we will not go for all those address and identity verifications of you via the Policemen.' 

Mr.X:'Actually, our postal system has the flaw. There should be a computer kiosk in every post office, where even an ordinary post will have a computer generated unique number and can be tracked through any Post Office Kiosk connected with the main server.' 

POSTMAN:'Don't give lectures! Indian Postal Service can never become so much modernized to track even an ordinary post. Give 500 bucks & take your cheque of 30,000 bucks. That's it!' 

Mr.X:'Well! Do I have any other options! Ok, take these 500 bucks and give the cheque. Now, I understand, why people always prefer Courier Services instead of Indian Postal Services, which is yet to get modernized and what to say about their staffs! Anna Hazare once rightly said, that in India, corruption starts at the very root level itself.
