open air jail.

Son came for the weekend  and then left .A bit of normality in my highly tailored life returned briefly.As he came and left the plump next door neighbour popped out to greet him before i could be the first one to do so.Whilst the childless middle aged couple next door opened  lift door  ,timing it with his entry .

The entire abnormality of the situation around here hit me as i watched a khap like commotion from the opposite slum tenements as a police patrol slid by without the slightest admonishment or firmness they always show in J'J's rule to disperse a unruly crowd even if it would be only a group of four in earlier times.

If i go up a neighbour will invariably pop up .If i stand in the balcony any passerby will be stopped and made to stare at me.There is no longer any laughter in the corridors of our flat.If at all it is contrived and at a signal.That khap was also tailored ,so was that uncharacteristic overlooking by the famed Chennai police.

In fact not a single spontaneous skirmish has taken place in the opposite side ,unbelievably , for past two years whilst it was dime a dozen a day.This entire area viz my flat and neighbouring flat and neighbours have all become zombied inmates.Nobody has any visitors any longer.No chit chats, arguments and laughter.All those rough and tough persons in the easy street have fallen silent.On the day and nights the fraud Freud sishya's treatment is in full force for some political purpose  a deathly silence is maintained all over.

With a shock i realised that for my sake --a single person this entire area is strictly controlled with the consequent loss of spontaneity and verve and normalcy of all those around.And it is not for a day or two but for past two whole years!  Even cm j.j's neighbours would not have been told to shut up and behave like it is being done here .
Just who is that megalomaniac for whose benefit scores of families in this street have to curb their natural behaviour and tendencies and lead such a unhappy life for past two years?
Before only i was unhappy wrapped in my grief.Now every one around seem to be manacled and shackled and joyless.
There many in here who have never troubled me or crossed my path .Yet they are all being put into trouble.I feel really sorry for them and  that just for one person -me--most importantly some one or many in power are putting a lot of people in a unnatural, contrived and freedom less situation.

Instead all that could ave been done was to actually put me in a jail or some such solitary place on some trumped upcharges.Then it would have affected only me and not all the families and persons living nearby.,in the flats,and tenements .
A lot of inconvenience , loss of freedom loss of spontaneity in life's joys and griefs.Which pervert devised this? The extraordinary selfishness of the megalomania is unbelievable.Just for tackling me--a woman  should so many be put in non stop control for 2 years!Why couldn't such sharp minds devise ways and means to shut me away in prison instead of notifying an entire neighbourhood as a open air jail?

How is it, that , those wielding extra ordinary power derived from people , magnify only their problems, their future, their security, their privacy, their family and wealth whilst road rolling over the desires and rights of common people who have equal stake in  every inch of this sacred land?

Herr Hitler was called a megalomania. The person or group that that has devised this this open air jail for a entire neighbourhood for self aggrandisement and even amusement has beaten fuerher hollow.

I reverse my compliment [though perverted] .This is an act of cowardice . Nothing but pure and sheer cowardice.
