"The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between brothers.

I could go on and on and fill many pages and write dozens of chapters about the state of our country and how badly we are doing and yet i will stop here and say that after the Mahatma was shot and power came into the hands of Nehru and his dynasty,things never looked up( and will never ever).Pandit Nehru was a man born with a golden spoon and how can one expect him to relate to poor India and in my own backyard that is the state of Tamil Nadu,things have gone rapidly downhill after the death of Kamaraj and Anna.Yes,for after their deaths,corruption crept in and now we are talking about lakhs anymore like in the 1960's but have advanced very far and to suit the 21st century are now talking about hundreds of thousands of crores.Yes,lakhs of crores.
Three days passed since the Six bodies of the brutally murdered ruling party men had been found and now on the third day morning at 10.00 am,three men sat facing the chief minister.
Home minister Vaidyanathan,DGP T.K Rajendran and Chennai police commissioner Vishwanathan all sat facing chief minister Edapadi palaniswami,popularly called EPS who was calmly listening to the report that was being read out by the DGP.
CM EPS looked at DGP Rajendran ' Sir,konjam technicala irukku.I am not as qualified as you men in uniform.so please,make it simple and make it brief.'
Both,DGP and Commissioner Rajendran smiled for they liked this humble trait of EPS and like most govt employees felt he was more approachable than AMMA before them.They had dealt with OPS but sadly he had served in the office under the shadow of not only AMMA but the so called Chinamma( sasikala) who was now serving out her four year sentence in a Bengaluru jail.
DGP Rajendran nodded to this rather gentle command of the chief minister ' sir,firstly i confirm that all seven men that were found dead and injured were card carrying members of your party.The one person we found alive has a broken neck and stab injuries and is paralysed and the doctors say that he will not last long.'
Looking down at the report in front of him,DGP Rajendran looked back at the chief minister who with a smile ' DGP sir,forget the report and talk to me as a cop and talk me from your heart.'
DGP Rajendran closed the file ' sir,in my honest opinion the case is really confusing.But if you want answers then you have to give me approval for tapping certain phones and that is a rather delicate situation.'
CM EPS ' DGP sir,i will sign a document immediately and you will have the authorization from my office to do what you have to do and go where you have to go to find the answers.But,find the answers you will and regarding this case,you will report only to me.'
CM Edappadi K. Palaniswami glanced apologetically at Vaidyanathan ' anna,sorry but this case has gotten the notice of PM Modi himself and is openly being used as ammunition against us by the Dmk,Congress and even the Bjp party leader Raja is constantly harassing me in the media.So,i think it is better for all of us and the party if it appears that i am handling this personally for i am the one in the limelight and i am the one who is now the general secretary of the party.'
Minister Vaidyanathan folded his hands in a namaskaram ' Thalaivaa,why are you even troubling yourself with all these explanations and that too to me? I am here to serve you and the party and all i want is for the culprits to be found and brought to justice.'
He looked down and everyone heard him crying and with eyes brimming with tears,Vaidyanathan looked at the chief minister ' Periya karuppan was more like an younger brother to me and had been with me for so many years.Not only me,he served this party faithfully and loyally and also carried out a lot of work for all of us.His death is a tremendous loss to me and i have sworn a promise to his family that i will not rest until the murderers have been sentenced to death.And i meant it and nothing or no one will or can stop me from fulfilling my oath.'
CM EPS heard vaidaynathan's words and the underlying threat very clearly and felt the warning that had been just leveled and the same message was heard,loud and clear by both the No.1 and No.2 police officers of the state.
EPS looked kindly at Vaidyanathan ' Anna,you are like a big brother to all of us,wiser and more experienced and i request you humbly to be patient while we solve this case.This party is already shaking on its foundations that were laid by our late and great leaders Puratchi thailavar and Puratchi thalaivi and we have just now begun the process of rebuilding the party which is barely standing.All it now needs to break into a thousand pieces is for mutiny and civil war from any of our senior leaders and all will be lost.'
With a smile Chief minister EPS looked at both the senior police officers ' gentlemen i trust that you both will do the job of finding these criminals quickly and efficiently.All the best and that is all for now.'
Both the DGP and the Commissioner stood up and Vaidyanathan too got up but CM EPS requested him to stay back and both waited for the police officers to leave.
EPS looked at vaidyanathan ' I am doing my best and i have no doubt that this case will be solved soon.But apart from that,is there anything i can do for you personally ?'
Home minister Vaidyanathan ' yes,there is.You can officially announce in our party newspaper that we are handing over a crore to each of the family of the dead party members and also a piece of land in their home towns.And all this from our party funds and not from the govt money.'
Chief minister Edapadi didn't hesitate and agreed to the proposal and then both men began to talk in a relaxed manner of other things.
Dgp Rajendran looked at Commissioner Vishwanathan ' enna mister,what do you think about all this?' and ADGP Vishwanathan replied ' I smell a rat sir and i think it is a big fat Bandicoot.'
Far away,in egmore and inside the cabin of Rangachari & Associates,Krishnaswamy Iyer placed a bunch of keys on the table with a small tinkle and Raman looked at the keys and his boss who with a broad smile nodded ' yes my dear sir,the house is ready for you and your families to move in.'
Raman slowly leaned forward and took the bunch of keys and looked into the eyes of his mentor ' sir,thank you so much and at this moment all i have is my words and gratitude.'
Krishnaswamy iyer emotionally ' Ram,you know how fond of you i am and everyone here in this office know that i am grooming you to take over this law firm after i retire which i think i have already done.so,all i ask of you is,live happily for in your happiness lies mine.'
He looked at raman ' Today is wednesday and so tomorrow being a Thursday will be a good day to begin your shifting.And one more thing,the house is fully furnished and is ready for occupation.This is my wedding gift to you and Jeeva and you deserve all the gifts and happiness that come to you.'
Jeeva's mobile phone rang and she answered happily ' hi sweetie,all okay' and Raman answered yes and informed her that he had the keys to their new home and that he thought they could all move in the next day.
Jeeva did not know what to say and then raman whispered ' forget us all moving in and just think about both of us in one room and together on our own bed and nothing to separate us again.Bye for now and i will come and see you early in the evening.I will handle all the shifting myself and i want you and your parents and mine just to relax and not worry about anything.Bye baby.'
Jeeva whispered bye and held the mobile to her chest as if she was holding raman to herself and her father Manigandan seeing her reaction asked ' ennamma jeeva' and jeeva looked at him ' nothing appa,just that raman said the house is ready and that we will be shifting tomorrow.'
Kamakshi hearing this reacted happily ' that is just perfect.Tomorrow is Thursday and it is a pretty auspicious day to move to a new house and maybe it is all working our for the best.'
Jeeva nodded and without saying anything slowly walked into the bedroom and sitting down on the left side where suja used to sleep whispered ' Suja,i know you heard what we were just talking and so i want to ask you if you are okay with us leaving this house and moving in into a new house.The reason i am asking this is because i want you to come with us to the new house and not stay here by yourself all alone.I can never be happy without you among us and knowing in my heart that you are safe,where you are.'
A gentle breeze slowly wafted through the windows and jeeva felt a soft caress of the wind and a gentle kiss and touch of her dead sister and she began to cry.
She knew that suja was safely locked and tucked away in all their souls and nothing could ever separate them from her,not even death.
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Time is so short
And I'm sure
There must be something more
