Oh! But for these manholes of Jamshedpur

Mail News Service

Jamshedpur, May 2: JUSCO has blessed the city with, besides other sanitation goodies, manholes while God being God, has gifted man and his tailed counterparts with two manholes in the upper and lowe segments of the carcass as parts of laymen language for zoological terms.

Manhole lids are meant to be stolen at all opportune moments by compulsive crooks and their urchins to be sold at their ‘registered’ scrap yards for rice and hash and for the secondary purpose of shutting foul odours from permeating the atmosphere that is already besotted with more acrid stench of human mental excreta off-loaded from the upper manhole anatomically termed M-O-U-T-H.

And this is exactly the marked manhole that will be dealt with here for all impractical purposes. The right thinking social animals need not fret unnecessarily over the remarks and observations of their antisocial simaliraties when even the good measures adopted by the state and central governments for, of and by the people are criticized and rebuked either because these guys lost the rat races to Parliament or the Assembly or both in turn or because these blokes realize that they could not think of these measures when they had the chance to live up to the people’s confidence and expectations. Yes, ‘Jealousy, thy name is Oh-Man.’ 

For instance, certain former ministers, ex parliamentarians and legislators enjoying compulsory pensions for uncompulsory work done for their respective tenures as national and state jackasses are now trying to grab public attention of mortals with one track thought of survival through pandemic times. These breed of recycled politicians in the name of public sympathy, have been helping absurdities in preparation for another go at the hustings whenever that happens. One understands their predicament of trying to salvage their lost public face if they had one in the first place, that is.

These potent hell-rousers orchestrated the anti-cry against the central ministry’s announcement of extending lockdown for another two weeks with the rider that those spots in green zones would be gifted some relaxations. So, where is the harm? COVID – 19 has not yet cleared our lives! We still are in the list of endangered species! It is but only right to continue with lockdown guidelines of ‘Stay safe – stay home – maintain social distancing.’ And what a way of maintaining the preventive ways the two-legged caricatures are following without masks, going double and triple ride on two wheelers and belittling the logic of social distancing illogically. Where are these unwarranted critics when it comes to breaking lockdown regulations? Just crying foul against extension of lockdown will not get them any recognition except the ones that insane ranting evokes. Frankly, a crow’s cawing sounds better than the guttural sounds emanating from the human manholes.

Political holler is acceptable if it is in public interest but that is a minuscule aspect as the public is getting impatient for better and safer days sans the gamblers and their dicey cacophony. Only a desperate segment will dance to the tune of a satanic opposition trying to taint rationalized steps being taken by the central and state governments to make Bharat a safe zone wherein men and machine can return to normal living and rebuild a shaken economy. Let rationality prevail by shutting ears to trifle talk of socio-political scums in the name of political concern. There could be no better crocodiles than these tear-shedders.

The gifts of God are uncountable and they are meant for appropriate use including the two human manholes. One should serve as the inlet hole and the other as the waste outlet or USP (undigested food particles). The latter is odorous. But, in case of the political faeces, the upper end is more so! Advise: put on your masks when you confront these mock-political viruses who make their corona counterparts appear childish.
