Modus Operandi V\s Modis Operandi!


Modus Operandi V\s Modis Operandi!

 

Funny and Punny began to ‘swift’ly dissect the recent bank fraud.

Funny: Our literacy rate has suddenly shot up

Punny: What is the reason for your ‘swift’ surmise?

F: Post PNB fraud, everyone knows the no of ‘zeros’ in eleven thousand crore!

P: Look at the ease with which they committed fraud.

F: India has shot up 30 places in ‘Ease-of-doing-business’, a recent report claimed

P: Fraud is also a business, right

P: Certainly, the report stands vindicated

F: People seem to love letters of credit than love letters

P: The Mehul mayhem ‘chokes(y)’ the system with ‘letters of debit’

F: As i understand they were ‘letters of understanding’, so much for your mis-understanding

P: I heard Bankers also issue ‘letters of comfort’

F: These letters are highly discomforting

 

Jargon ‘Modus operandi’ is in great danger, soon to be replaced by ‘Modis Operandi. The fact that you can commit a fraud with such ease coupled with the fact that you can get away (scot-free) are highly intoxicating. Aided and abetted by these facts, the fraudsters wreak havoc which ultimately hit the common man hard. Mis-understood, mis-represented, these letters are neither ‘comfortable’ nor ‘creditable’. Time for ‘swift’ action.

The hunger to serve the hunger

Two school children didn’t think twice to dip into their pocket money and donated their entire savings to fight the Corona virus. From tiny tots to individuals, associations, entrepreneurs to organizations, corporate houses to celebrities from sports and arts, the enthusiasm to do their bit in tackling this pandemic is something to cheer about. Reports of such spontaneous charity and generosity are proof of humanity and compassion amidst distress, offering a ray of hope to people who are otherwise resigned to a reign of hatred, violence, corruption and degeneration of values in the system. The spirit of humanity shown by NGOs, the societies, the groups of individuals, the salaried, software engineers and countless such people who are better placed having the resources, in coming to the aid of the migrant workers, the jobless and the poor and the needy by setting up make-shift tents, food and offering a caring net represent a picture of wrapping their arm around these unorganized s...

Thus far and no further

 The nature continues to send signals and we continue to not read them. The nature continues to warn us and we continue to ignore it. Every such occasion was a life lesson we ought to have learnt. We are paying a heavy price for our irrational defiance and abuse of nature by not heeding to the universally acknowledged philosophical message, ‘thus far and no further’. In Mahabharatha, Krishna warned Shishupala that he would be forgiven for one hundred sins. Shishupala arrogantly did not heed it and continued to commit outlandish acts. When he was about to commit his 101st sin, Krishna was forced to use his Sudarshan Chakra to slit Shishupala’s throat.  The craving for golden deer by Seetha in Ramayan caused untold miseries and Duryodhana’s hunger for power in Mahabharath resulted in conflict, confrontation and destruction. These are prime examples of greed. As a corollary, shouldn’t we follow a path of social harmony, peaceful co-existence to avoid the wrath of nature’s fu...

Classless Society V\s Ram Rajya!

On one extreme is the current ruling party at the centre aiming for a cashless society straining every sinew at its command in that direction. Digit by digit, it is prompting us to go digital which they claim is the way to ‘ache din’ – a metaphorical ‘Ramarajya’. On the other extreme is another ideology hoping to see the dawn of a classless society. It has ‘left’ no stone unturned with its committed workforce in its attempt to achieve it. Ours is a democracy. The ‘left’ party is trying to achieve ‘classless’ society in a democratic way. The ‘right’ wingers are alleged – not without reason – to be treading a ‘dictatorial’ path to attain ‘Ramarajya’. Recognize the irony? Each party is charging the other of ‘mass massacre’ – of principles, that is. The ‘left’ claims that the ‘right’ has no right to be in the government with their faulty policies. The ‘right’, with a wry smile, retorts that the people have ‘left’ the ‘left’ high and dry, citing their fall not just here but elsew...
