âMr. Basha, no religion is born from heaven or from elsewhere. But, it is a fact that human beings are born first and then only as many religions as possible are cropping up like mushrooms. Religion is only human creation Mr. Basha. I am sorry my statement may hurt you and others also, but I am only speaking the factâ
âI am sorry sir, the same thing that is my religion is only disturbing me a lot sirâ
âWhy are you so sensitive Basha? You need not say sorry to anybody. Why should we bother about man created âismsâ? I never see any difference between man created caste, creed and religion and God created human beings, as the essence of both is service to humanity is service to God, except the one and the only difference is that both âthe crime and compassionâ are there in the minds of the human beings only and no religion propagated jihad. But, it is we to decide whether we want to be humane to our fellow beings or not?â
âSir, you are an elderly man, besides a noble man too. Nobody can even dream to be like you, keeping your individual belief and trust in your employees, and dare to do what you want to do. Now I am feeling guilty even to face you sir. And my problem is nothing before yourâs sir. But at the same time I am extremely happy that my Honourable CM has trusted me and I whole heartedly thank my Honourable Chief Minister Sirâ The DGP got up from his chair.
âMr. Basha, perhaps you have for gotten the equations in your hierarchy. The Law and Order Additional DGP is a Hindu. The city commissioner is a Christian. The Additional DGP; Intelligence is a South Indian; the Additional DGP, Grey Hounds is a woman, and a widow of a North Indian police officer. The Additional DG, Criminal Investigation Department is an Anglo-Indian. All the Deputy Commissioners are all from various states and belong to various sects, including Sikh, Jain, and if I am not wrong, one is a Buddhist and see the unity in diversity even in my administration. I hope you understand the Indian philosophy of life and do your duty, as per rule and lawâ
âI once again thank my Honourable CM for enlightening me Sirâ
âAll the best Mr. Basha and donât worry, I am with you. Do your job not for any obligation, but for serving the people as per your self -consciousnessâ The CM concluded.
The DGP saluted the CM and left his chambers.
Later the CM asked his P.A in camera to connect him to Additional DGP Grey Hounds, Intelligence head and to the Additional DGP, Law and Order, one after the other respectively.
His P.A connected him to all the officers accordingly, and the C.M spoke to them confidently. He was known for his style and decorum as per his administration was concerned.
But the DGP Mr. Basha didnât know that he himself and all his kith and kin were under close watch by the counter Intelligence Branch, as ordered by the CM. In this trade, one should know that nobody should be caught free of scrutiny. Otherwise who will guard the guards? In fact, the contemporary Indian History has the worst example of Mrs. Indira Gandhiâs assassination by her own security guards.
The DGP Mr. Basha opened his personnel Mobile, which was not in his name.

âShall we go dear?â
Arjun asked her in jubilant mood.
âWhere toâ, Honey expressed her doubt.
âTo twin Cities dearâ
âWhat for?â
âDonât you remember? Havenât I told you that one day I would take you to my mum?â
âAre you so crazy? Is it that urgency now?â
âYes dear, really it is not only urgency but also an emergencyâ
âWhat?â
âYes dearâ
âI know that you are a very good story tellerâ
âIt not a story, I am seriously telling you dear, it is very important matter dearâ
âFor you everything is important, except your professionâ
âYou know my mum has brought marriage proposals to me. Time and again she has been pressurizing me to select someoneâ
âThen why are you hesitating? Go for good choice. And I hope you could select the best out of them. I wish you all the best Arjuâ
âWhat? Are you joking or do you really wish me to select the best from Chanti, Pinky, Tomy, Donkey and Monkey?â
âMister donât belittle the spinsters and donât forget that I am also a âŠâ
âThen tell me you are also aâŠâ
âI know you are very shrewd man. You never take a chance to miss, and you try to interpret hundred meanings in your favour from every word. Anyway, it is quite strange to hear that boys are also subjected to matrimonial pressuresâ
âMadam, please listen me firstâ
âWhat is there to listen? Nothing new. Generally pressure will be mounting upon girl for marrying Tom, Dick and Harry and also to accept early marriage. But, I am hearing for the first time from you that there is such a pressure on you tooâ
âPlease hear me dear, the problem is not with the demand for me, but it is rather demand for brides you know?â
âThen you only answer me, why?â
âI feel sorry to tell you that most of the parents have already committed sins by doing infanticide, disliking the females in their wombs themselves. Now there is a steep decline in the census of female population. Perhaps this infanticide might have led to the reversal trend and consequent mounting pressure on guys too to accept marriage proposal of XYZ brought by their parents, whether they like it or notâ Arjun said frankly.
âSo now onwards if the bridegrooms totally surrender themselves to us and put an application, then we will think over and consider the applicantsâ
âMy God I fear that the spinsters may even try to tie wedlock round our neck and make us dance as festive bullsâ
âThat may also happen, but you canât predict anything now manâ
âOkay my dear princess of beauty, please accept my application firstâ He was half bent with folded hands as if he was praying the Goddess of beauty.
âOkay my dear devotee accepted, but before that you have to meet my mumâ
âWhat?â
âYes you have toâ
âWonderful dear, what I mean the same old story repeatsâ
âI am sorry Arjun; I am not a writer to create stories. You have only visualized from your point of view, but I have my own limitationsâ
âDoctors shouldnât have problems dear. They have to sort out their problems first and then only they can attend their patients, isnât it?â
âWhen I am serious, you are casual. But, I am telling you seriously Arju. If you donât go to my mum and oblige her, I am sure that she will create a great divide between us and you will definitely miss meâ She expressed her agony.
âI am sorry I have no mala-fide intentions, and I will certainly go to her and bow down my head, touch her feet, and beg for you dear. Is it okay? Or do you want me to do bhajan also?â He said in frustration.
With his ironical words she also lost her temper.
âNo thanks, you neither say sorry nor bow down or belittle yourself. Most of the men are selfish. It is just my fond belief that you are different from others. But now I have understood it as a misnomer and my misfortuneâ
âNo, no dear I am not, please donât mix me with others in generalâ
âI am not wrong in my assessment Arju, as evidently you have decidedâ
âYourâs is an excellent inference. I think I am not wrong in calling you book worm. It is quite apt to call you a social worker also. And I fear you may forever remain as a nun dearâ He said in perturbed state.
âYes, I am not the only example, but also all the doctors, who are truthfully in the service of humanity are exploring breakthrough in medicine to save mankind. So you better understand the purpose for which we are chosen to do medicine. And I feel that it is an honour to become a nun to serve the poor and the needyâ She said quite passionately.
âYes, I do agree. But, please remember every one of us is having the same morals and values. It doesnât mean that we all should remain as bachelors. Even after solemnised also, we both can do service to the needy. Is it not?â
She didnât say anything.
âCome on dear please speak out the naked truthâ
Still there was a pin drop silence.
âWhy are you silent?â
She simply smiled.
âI am asking you again. I donât think you have any answer madamâ
âI have answer Arjun. But, I am just thinking, what is that you expect from me?â
âStrange, I am not expecting anything new. It is just what everybody expects from his fiancĂ©e, I tooâ
She looked at him seriously.
âI am sorry, if I hurt you. But one thing I should confirm that you donât love me, nor interested to marry me isnât it?â
âSorry Arju, you have mistaken my stand. I love you more than anything else. In fact, never have I denied your love and affection, but I only want to remind you that our immediate priority is not our unionâ
âThanks at least you have not denied me and good bye forever Honeyâ He was hurt as she gave less importance to their love, and hence he seriously turned back.
But, she understood his moods and temperament. She immediately caught hold of his right hand, and pulled him and kissed him, holding him tight. With her surprise act, he was shocked.
It rarely happens in India that a girl taking the lead and kissing her fiancĂ©â. Perhaps to bring down emotions, either of the two, fiancĂ© or fiancĂ©e has to take the lead, which is universally accepted one, and that magic formula is nothing but âthe love mantra- a sweet kiss and a hot hugâ
âI am sorry, I might have offended youâ she tried to cool him.
âThanks! So I can tax you with one sweet kiss and one hot hug, whenever I lose my temperâ He said smilingly.
âYou naughty. Then here is an option for youâ
âWhatâs it?â
âYou go straight to my mum and propose yourself to meâ
âAre you joking? She will just slap me with her shoeâ
âI am not joking Arju. I hope you can convince herâ
âThatâs fine! But why have you brought another character in between us? Is it only to linger on our matter?â
âSorry Arju, no Indian spinster has absolute liberty, and I am also no exception. In India, everything is planned systematically for girls by mothers you knowâ
âI donât think it is a Gospel truth, it must have been your brainchildâ
âWhat Arju, again you have misunderstood meâ
âIt is not the question of misunderstanding; you better donât unnecessarily bring your mother into pictureâ
âSorry Arju, I am helpless. I am not bluffing. In fact, my mum is against my marriage. She wants to make me a nun and put me in the service of the poor. Please try to understand meâ
âThen, you better do one thingâ
âWhatâs it Arju?â
âPlease marry me in church, temple or we go for register marriage, which ever you like, and then we both will start a charity home to serve the poorâ
âBut, am I justified in disowning her and coming with you Arju?â
âDonât talk rubbish, it is our life. We have many miles to walk in our life journey. And also please
