The 'thick hide' brigade.

I'm amazed at the manner corrupt and tainted people strut around with their heads held high so as to indicate that they're 'clean' and all the brouhaha in the form of hard evidence, pointing to their proclivity, is just nothing but cooked up stories dished out by their haters! Must concede that their hides are too damn thick. But what amazes me more is as to why we can't have laws that speedily close in on these thugs and hand over justice for the sake of setting an example to the younger generation and also act as a deterrent for probable crime doers. Here are four of the kingpins, among the many, that continue to have their names pop up every now and then on today's media:-

  (a) N Srinivasan.

  His shapeless figure, coupled with the red vermilion mark on his forehead, epitomises all the ills that are
  known to be plaguing Indian cricket. That he has been sitting at the helm of the treasure chest that's the
  BCCI despite wrong doings, show his clout and the 'not-so-clean' state of the other members of the board!
  He's seen to be haggling for a safe way for himself, despite the Supreme Court's harsh observations and
  I'm sure he still harbours the thought of being the boss of cricket's apex body, the ICC, in June this year.

  (b) Subrata Roy.

  The disgraced chairman of the tainted Sahara empire has expressed inability to pay Rs. 10,000 crores as
  repayment money to the lakhs of investors that he's looted to set up 'the mirage of his glittering empire'
  which would have seen him come out of jail on bail. It's but common knowledge that without that money
  that he'd acquired through dubious means, he'd be like any other man trying to eke out his living! He
  deserves to languish in jail till he liquidates the debt that he owes to his customers, many of whom, who'd
  entrusted him with their hard earned savings!!

  (c) Suresh Kalmadi.

   One of the ignominious faces that quickly come to mind whenever the Commonwealth Games organisation
   and the corruption surrounding it is thought of. He'd harboured delusions of fighting the forthcoming
   elections. What can one say about his cheek to even dream of such a thing?

  (d) Ashok Chavan.

  The less said the better about the prime mover of the infamous 'Adarsh scam'. I'm sure he'll be taught
  the lesson of his lifetime at the hustings. If the verdict were to go in his favour, I shall be very, very sad
  as a sincere and simple citizen of this country! The Congress party seems to be saying that what could a
  'clean' guy like him do when he'd been prompted to do wrong things by a bunch of corrupt professionals?


Tailpiece.

The first dish, out of the bunch of 'Ladys' Fingers' from our kitchen garden, was served on the lunch table today. Felt proud about the results and mind you, no pesticides have been used!
