SILENCE IS ALSO A STRATEGY!

Your Editor seems to be enjoying the stiff and strong arguments put forward by SK Mazumder, AV Subbaraman, Santimay Kar, LSR Krishna Rao,  KK.D. Hanumantha Rao, Sampath Iyer and others.  He is keeping quiet.  On the right side bar, page views go up by thousands. A couple of thousands a day.  His blog will be hitting 100,000 page views by tomorrow, if not today itself. 

If there is somebody to be blamed, it should be your Editor who planted a story for no

villain's attire!

reason. For no provocation.  
Supreme Court had put its seal of approval.  SLP was dismissed. Dr. Singhvi and Senior Lawyer Salve were sent off after payment of their bills. Elsewhere Sridharan and his company researched on strategies for their next steps.  Everywhere there were great victory celebrations. Justifiably so. 

Quite unexpectedly your Editor fired his salvos at this hour through a Breaking 9.20 pm News. Shri SK Mazumder was the first to react to this.  Since then pensioners across the country are debating on this issue. Yes John Godfrey Saxe remarked seeing the men arguing..  

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

But a thought disturbs me, why there is no explanation forthcoming from Shri Asthana or from somebody on his behalf from the Federation! THAT SEEMS TO BE  A  SILENT STRATEGY...

Pensioner friends should know that the villain is the Editor who filed the story.  And so pensioners are advised to stop vying with each other and start reading the full text of 19th century classic of John Godfrey Saxe "The Blind Men and the Elephant".

( SUPREME COURT WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THROUGH THEIR ORDERS WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED ANY MOMENT NOW ! )

Bye for now.  We will meet again!

The Blind Men and the Elephant
John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887) 

It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the Elephant (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation Might satisfy his mind.

The Blind Men and the Elephant

John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887)

                                                                     (continued)

The First approached the Elephant, And happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl: "God bless me! but the Elephant Is very like a WALL!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, "Ho, what have we here, So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear This wonder of an Elephant Is very like a SPEAR!"

The Third approached the animal, And happening to take The squirming trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up and spake: "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is very like a SNAKE!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand, And felt about the knee "What most this wondrous beast is like Is mighty plain," quoth he: "'Tis clear enough the Elephant Is very like a TREE!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a FAN!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than seizing on the swinging tai

That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a ROPE!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
