Monkey business

Recently the deputy mayor for New Delhi was killed by a horde of wild running monkeys. Well apparently he fell to his death from his terrace after trying to evade a group of monkeys who were more than happy to maul him for God knows or rather the monkeys know why. Given the fact that Mr. Bajwa was the Delhi BJP senior vice-president for several years, I assumed that the monkeys would have loved him. Guess I was wrong. Please don't judge me by thinking I am having fun at the expense of a dead person, I am merely pointing out the irony of the situation.

Someone who is driven by an ideology that monkeys are sacred, that any interruption to the monkeys' way of life would bring down the wrath of Gods themselves, doesn't mind disturbing their habitat or encroaching their territory, then goes on to do absolutely nothing about it or rather blocks any move to do something about it. I am sad yet relieved it was Mr. Bajwa who had to pay the price for his ideology and inaction, and not some child as in this regrettable incident from Banglore. So how do we tackle this menace now, bring in bigger monkeys to control the smaller ones. Brilliant!

Dude, somebody's lost a life. Though it may seem ironical, this ain't humor! Pliss to change the label!

The "humor" tag was meant for the last line. Since this seems to have gotten you all worked up and I am having second thoughts about the tag, it shall be removed.

You remember the lesson in CBSE book 11th standard about Gunga Ram and the snake? It was by Kushwant Singh*. There there is this idiot who thinks snakes are sacred and is nice to them only to die of snake bite.



*And incase you were wondering if Kushwant Sing writes things other than porn the answer is he does. Though very rarely and they are no good! I think he should stick to porn.

-Ok
