//I WAS DECENT ONCE BUT NOT ANYMORE

I WAS DECENT ONCE BUT NOT ANYMORE

The reader of this website would perhaps find the language and shades of this website bohemian and a bit on the irreverent side …But my nerves do not permit a suave metaphor when I am in the face things so unabashedly bizarre…as one amongst those who are on the edge of the common people’s pulse , my human sensibility cannot afford to be fake …the rhetoric of everything bright and shining does not play smooth…even though I love to be drunk on that perfect metaphor of beauty and love …who doesn’t…but what to do I have to run to save my life because each time I take the boulder uphill it refuses to stabilize there and comes rolling down behind me…so all in all when you enter the Indian courts …especially the district courts you will feel this angst…Oh the `heat and dust’… the court would give you the strange nausea… a low in adrenaline…and a high in `have to do it but oh just cannot do it’… it will be like mindless rituals in the name of religion but far away from spirituality…that is what `justice’ has become for `you and me’ ..`we who are common enough and chosen for this special treatment’…so people I am in love with you and consider you my own…please allow me the liberty to own you…it feels cosy in this stunning heat where there is no one to bribe me with a cooling kiss for I have the arrogance of a commoner at the moment but oh so endowed with the starkness of the real, the unjust, the messy and chaotic that rolls me in anxiety bursting at the seams…I WAS DECENT ONCE BUT NOT ANYMORE…

When does `flirting’ become a dirty word which was once an innocent metaphor to keep the temperatures cool? It becomes so here when the courts  think that the commoners are `dirt cheap’ , can be mistreated at length and with subjugating authority and putting the fear of `hydra headed’ system that can gulp you in one go and leave you in a maze …you are all dressed up in  court finery to keep the decorum but look like a clown underneath this finery when the courts `flirt’ with the `idea of justice’ …

Now some concrete episodes where you will see the travesty of all that you have learnt in the name of `justice’ and `liberty’… it’s a one way street… you will enter but will seldom find your way out without your clothes being turned into shreds…

`enforcement of contracts’ – big and small has no sanctity in India – your hard earned money is up for grabs and loot and the courts will not help you at all …they will rather make you stand begging for what is your own…the delay and injustice in this has the following reasons amongst others-

  1. The cheater and immoral wrongdoer will hide behind the long winded procedures of law where the district court judge or even sometimes the high court judge will not listen to the substance of law even if you cry hoarse …and the cheater will be basking in the glory of your hard earned money while you will have nothing to do but to feel remorse and rub your hands in a sense of loss and an amazement at the fact that the law courts are in fact enriching the wrongdoer unjustly and it your expense…YOU AND ME LIVING IN THE LOVE FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS JOKE…
  2. Why does the judge do this? …A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION…
  3. I am giving to you in writing that this is a new kind of human bondage where you will realize that the fruits of your hard work and talent  would be snatched away from you because you are simply the category of a common man …far away from the chicanery and the machination that breeds the unholy nexuses which work overtime against you…
  4. Finally, but not close endedly,  ( for you may list more) this is `the ripeness’ that exhorts REBELLION…SO BE IT…
