Protest

These are dark times indeed. What is the world coming to? Is there no hope for the weak and the innocent? Must the wrong and heartless always win? The pure-hearted cry a river of sorrow while the perpetrators of pain bask in the glory of their triumph. There is no safe haven for the oppressed and once again the pallbearers of truth must rise and defend their honor.

Two young (good looking if I may say so myself) knights were chosen to take the holy war deep into the heart of the enemy. Sir Amol and Sir Pratap were chosen to lead the army of good and bring glory to the lands of Clearwater, Florida. Surviving extreme torture would become a regular ordeal for these brave lads in the days to come. Little did they know that pain and suffering were just the elementary stages in their quest for freedom…a significantly more ghastly fate was awaiting them at the gates of “The Grand Reserve”… Lady Jasika with a R had arrived.

Life would never be the same. Innocent blood would be shed…helpless heads would roll…but nonetheless, the two pillars of hope would stand their ground and take whatever Lady Jasika with a R threw their way (literally). The war had begun…and there was no room for turning back.

But life wasn’t always this difficult. Residents of apartment 1336 fondly recall those glory days when they could leave their humble abodes without fear of being locked out for the night for disobeying a direct order or the days when they could sit on the couch to watch some TV without seeking prior permission and on a good day they could actually eat whatever it was that they wanted to eat. But all that would change. Happy days are short lived and in an act of God, hurricane Jasika with a R had arrived. Cape Canaveral had to postpone the launching schedules for their shuttle due to the unexplained depression in the region. A detailed study into the paranormal activity in and around the Tampa Bay Area revealed traces of distinct radiations originating from apartment 1336 similar to those observed in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

To an untrained eye it would appear that our two heroes had the upper hand. This ability to impart a false sense of security was by far the most lethal weapon in Hurricane Jasika with a R’s arsenal. Sir Amol and Sir Pratap knew they were up against a supernatural being. Reinforcements would need to be called in. In their hour of need Sir Amol and Sir Pratap turned to their time tested ally, the Queen of Pittsburgh (coz after all she was family) to seek her allegiance. However her personal guards politely escorted our two knights to the castle gates and presented them with the royal seal on their behinds. To the uninitiated a royal seal on the behind implies “Please take your behinds back to your homelands or we’ll back some of your homelands into your behinds. Thank you”.

And just when you thought the worse was over, the Queen of Pittsburgh decided to confer upon Jasika with a R the title of “Survivor”. WHAT???? BLASPHEMY!!! Not only were the true deserving recipients deprived of their honor but what is even more disconcerting is the fact that by merely playing a “damsel in distress” to perfection Ms Reign of Terror snatched glory from the arms of the innocent.

But it’s not over till the fat lady sings. Sir Amol and Sir Pratap will continue to protect the weak, uphold the doctrine of honesty, integrity and brotherhood and strive to live by the honor code.


"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers".
- Ezekiel 25:17/Pulp Fiction



Rasika’s internship is over and she would be leaving Clearwater next week. Reshma (Amol is Reshma's brother for those who didn’t know) presented Rasika with a “Certificate of Award for surviving Pratap and Amol” earlier today. Amol and Pratap have gone on record and voiced their protest.

Having witnessed the above mentioned terror in all her fury, who before reigning havoc on the lands of Clearwater , Florida was a denizen nay a despot ruling over the pious territory of Arlington, Texas, I bow before the brave and noble acts of exemplary courage shown by Sir Amol and Sir Pratap.

Glory be thine ! Thou warrant a worthy mention in the doctrine I shall henceforth publish, 'memoirs of a lost knight'.

Devika,
I beg to differ. Contrary to popular beliefs, the hunters were the ones being hunted.

Anusha,
D-Day Jan 13th 2007...all the best. If you need help please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thanks for dropping by :)

Sir Gaurav,
Accreditation by a knight of such legendary standings as yourself is an honor reserved only for the privileged. We are humbled by your noble gesture.

The terror is back.
The blood thirsty Jasika with a R is back in Arlington.
After having kept me prisoner at her dungeon at Centennial court two semesters ago, she now returns to unleash relentless agony and pain.
