Loopholes in ‘THE DRILL’



I have always feted the finesse of the bureaucrats and politicians at fixing managerial affairs. Their modus operandi in finagling, or I must say setting things right, has always received at least plaudit if not accolades. Their Midas touch that generates riches out of nowhere leaves me flabbergasted. Even the CBI, who the other times brag about their recent feats and ‘The Drill’ (their tough ways to nail the buggers), cannot disagree the claim. And if they do then the secret accounts at Swiss bank are suffice to shout aloud the saga.
I know that the black money thing is rife these days but I wasn’t dubious about its existence within the mortal realms.
But this one just leaves me open-mouthed. I am a denizen of a drought struck province wailing for more and more relief funds lately. The demand seems rational when the concern is such.
But I don’t discern how come a drought struck province receives so much rainfall once it has been granted funds??
Last couple of months I have heard too much yelling in the dearth of the downpours. The news papers were all inundated with scoops like
” man stabs neighbor in a row over drinking water”
Else
”Water bodies go dry…where THE RAINGODS are??”
The RAINGODS didn’t turn up with even any sop then and once all business is done up by bureaucracy, there is no respite. The rains come pelting down hard. Now the crops don’t suffer attributed to the mercy of the gods and the funds generated nestle snug in the personal caches of the incumbents.
The question I am trying to pose is, “Does the mortal and the immortal meet at some horizon??”
Who is the go-between when it comes to finagle with the Gods??
Whatever it is but this accentuates the ubiquitous corruption that has made every anthrop a vampire scouring for blood and now the angels and demons are allies.
At these obnoxious times, ‘THE DRILL’ penetrates not THE ANGELS but those minnow DEMONS who barely are the puppets in the hands of ANGELS.
