The Giants Who Never Grew Up!

Much before I went to his house I heard the miracles done by his child; his style of expression, I was told a million times with delight, put the Tamil superstar Rajanikanth to shame; his style of walking was described as something masterly than that of Amitab Bachan; his way of laughing was, as I was told, far superior in attracting people to him, that too much more than the ultimate Rajesh Khanna in his prime; his voice was something like a heavenly mix of Kishore Kumar & K.J Yesudas; his brilliancies far surpassed those of Albert Einstein; after all we should not blame the child for all these as he was sitting on the throne of Almighty, with the 24/7 support & promotion of his parents!

When I reached there I was more than eager to see this Wonder Boy whom I had continuously been told about. Then, there he was....the wonder boy of almost 4 who hadn't been anything lesser than Michael Schumacher, Viswanathan Anand, Tiger Woods, Bruce Willies, Thomas Alva Edison, Rod Laver & Mike Tyson fused together! He came to his father running and embraced him; the father, in his turn, took him in his arms & gave a kiss. I was eagerly waiting for some miracles from the boy's side.....! Then, the father put the son down & he went running inside to my utter despair as I saw my chance of witnessing a miracle running inside the house!

His father continuously told, as he had been telling me all these days, the great exploits of his Almighty Son as we sat inside the visitors' room, looking at the garden outside. Yesterday, when he was playing, he made a DRAGONFLY lift a stone deftly, he told as if Dragonfly was the elder brother of the MIGHTY DRAGON itself! A couple of days back he stood first in the class competition for the UKG kids in drawing, he told as if the Almighty Son had won the competition beating such archrivals as Pablo Picasso, Raja Ravi Varma, Winston Van gouge, Leonardo Da Vinci & Michael Angelo in a fierce, nerve rattling competition! His wife came there with coffee & snacks to remind him what the Almighty Son did to the 3 year old, a couple of weeks back, who STOLE his eraser while he was coming jam-packed in the over crowded auto rickshaw, from his pre primary school! "He kicked him on the face that he wouldn't even dare to look at the erasers in his whole life!” she cuckooed as if her Almighty Son had boxed down the mighty Joe Frazer in the ring at the finals of the WBF heavy weight bout for the Unified World Boxing Championship!

"He understands everything in a flash that his All Knowing Teachers are dazzled with his Marvellous Performance!", she continued to marvel at the Universal Thing which ‘The Mighty She’ contributed to this world out of her merciful mind! What might it would have been if this Almighty Son was not there in this silly dwarf world?! 'Ofcourse, it would have been a much lesser place to live in without the Almighty Son', her every word & action trumpeted this line! I remembered, sitting there sipping coffee, another mother who boasted of the Extraordinary Learning & Understanding Capacity -Of All the intricacies of the world with just a look, of course!- of her son when he was barely 6 months old! Though he didn't speak at that time he knew & understood EVERYTHING, she used to tell! From listening to her continuously all the people in her area used to come to her BABY to seek the Universal Wisdom the baby possessed from the BABY's non-speaking mouth! Without uttering a single word the BABY became very famous for its wisdom in a 10sq kilometre area, at the least! I wondered, what all marvellous things & hidden Universal secrets must had been known to the BIG-eyed green pupa of the butterfly -which moved its BIG eyes whenever I moved even a little bit, standing infront of it!- which I saw on the plant I grew in my terrace garden, the other day!

All over the world, I suppose, these kids have been having wonderful & miraculous capacities, capabilities & abilities that all the persons around them, including their Ever Wondering Parents ofcourse, have been running unstoppable yarn-mills, all these decades, about the extraordinary & superhuman adventures of their tiny tots! And, people all these decades keep listening to them & they never stopped wondering & marvelling! I have seen parents & grand parents promenading carrying the 1 year old, 2 year old & 3 year old living wonders in their hands & showcasing their sons' or daughters' extraordinary divine signs and drawing truck loads of appreciation from the ordinary mortals around their Devine Baby Zones! But what I find with great disappointment & despair is that these GIANTS, who have all the knowledge of the world without even opening up their mouth & perform such extra ordinary, super human things like whistling like a bird, jumping like a frog, imitating the parents & teachers -forget the imitating never reached anywhere near the original!- climbing like a monkey, running like a kid, singing like a nursery kid, learning like a parrot etc etc never grew up & all end up as old Dick, Harry, Ram, Priya, Soumya and Just the Others as the parents and grand parents & great grand parents are/were - just one/another mortal in billions!

The Billion Instant Parliaments Of India!

Law Mouther = A Person Who Mouths Something To Create A Law!
Loanee = A Person Who Has Taken Loan!


Nobody knows about the thousands & thousands of instant parliaments (And ofcourse, millions of Parliamentarians!) in India who pass thousands of laws every moment & create another thousand the very next and so on....these laws are the laws of the land...every square inch of land....every square centimetre of our land - India!

These laws of Law Mouthers are born the very moment somebody of some authority- including the chaparasi even!- opens his or her mouth in front of a person who wishes to do something, wants something from these so called authorities, seek permission for anything etc or else simply move on in life!
These laws are the laws born the same moment any of the above mentioned things happen! These are the Real Laws which run our country and not, as one supposes, the laws passed by our Indian Parliament! These are the laws which get executed faster than the photons or in the common man's language light! The very moment the law is uttered it is almost at the same time executed or at the least at the same moment started to be executed by the person who listen to the Law-Mouther!

The Law Mouther is a legend that whatever comes from his or her mouth is law which should be executed without question!
He or she can be a rag-picker, an electricity board employee, a post man, a call centre employee of a mobile phone operator, a cleaner, a school teacher, a house wife, a person who deals in used magazines & news paper, the man who prepares Masala Dosai, the person who brings gas, the conductor in the road transport corporation, the person who repairs one's computer and millions of others...... it can be anybody & everybody...it can be here, there & everywhere....it can be any time of the day & night....we see these One Second Parliament-in-Existence or Law Mouther every second of our life! We have to be very happy living among millions of parliaments in a land of millions of instant parliamentarians, Law-Mouthers, instant judges & judgements, law executioners etc.....our land India!

The law of Law-Mouthers are faster than lightening...its something like now its here...now its not....its something like an Ariel which cannot ever be caught or scientifically, with all the sorts of scientific proof, proven! The law of the Law Mouther says that if you park a bike horizontally in a parking area, where parking is free, with another number of bikes parked in the same way, it can be whisked away by the hooligan towers of the police department & charge you with whatever amount they wish to charge without giving you a receipt; it says that if you are found speeding -the measurement being the very naked eye of a police constable!- you can be charged according to the financial condition -read whether the star crossed policeman has two wives & six kids, an instalment to pay for the luxury car he has bought, the number of bottles he empties in the evening at a high end bar near by, the amount he has to get for the admission of his sixth son etc etc- of the policeman or men in the situation!

It says that your this proposal or that proposal will be outrightly rejected unless & until you pay the amount to buy some grease for the concerned authority’s hands & head that they can be moved in an affirmative way; it says that your phone line will be disconnected if you failed to produce the required documents -they change intermittently from time to time!- for the millionth time; it says that a loanee can be tricked by every trick in a Bank's Trick book - something like ‘simply’ adding some amounts without any reason & logic to the basic amount, ‘simply’ increasing the interest rates without saying anything to the loanee citing something technical & non understandable, ‘simply’ doubling the interest rate without the knowledge of the loanee citing some intricate Mouth Law points from the Law Book of Law-Mouthers etc- till he is drained of everything in his life, as he had to sign under all the undecipherable Hieroglyphics presented in front of him in volumes, written in microscopic letters, without asking any question, to get a thousand rupee loan at an RBI recognised & registered rate of a MEAGER 15-20%+, depending on the pathetic condition the loanee is in etc!

It says that any employee, even the most uncivilised & lowest graded one among them, can Mouth A Law which should be obeyed to the syllable by every devotee of the prayer houses like temples & churches etc; it says that even a panchayath board, which is very low in every positive source like education level, cultural level, sense level, thought level, vision level, understanding level etc can Law-Mouth anything abysmal in quality and implement it in India -like they can impose a hefty fine on a person or institution because they simply dislike him or it, continuously engage one in never ending legal battles senselessly using the tax payers’ money because he/she failed to fit in their lifeless/qualityless SCHEMES OF THINGS, cancel certain allotments & registration, deny permission on a million things etc; it says that an auto wallah can charge you anything under the Sun Law Mouthing a billion things including calling you names etc! What ‘the Law of the Law Mouther’ basically states is that any Law Mouther can deny anything to anyone without any reason what so ever in Democratic India, using the Law Mouther’s Uncontrollable & Unrestrained Powers Vested In Every Law Mouther in India!


I was seriously in doubt whether the Anna Hazare team & their Lok Pal Bill will take into their fold these millions of Law Mouthers who’s Kingdom (sorry Democracy!) is here & now!
What will they do or better put what can they do to these millions of Law Mouthers & how will Anna & his team suppose to control these millions of Local Parliamentarians -in the sense that they create laws & keep creating them as has been going on in the Indian Parliament!- and make them accountable for billions of laws they make & execute, all over India?! Who will control these Law Mouthers like the one who deliberately forgets to give you back the changes he owes you in the form of a bus conductor or the person who repairs the object you have given him into a worse form to Law Mouth something charging you the heavens or the doc who Law Mouths to deny any hand in the death of a patient who was admitted in the hospital & died of sheer medical negligence or a train engine driver or a bus driver or an auto driver who Law Mouths to justify the couple of hours delay he caused to you etc etc?!

While I was talking about these millions of Law Mouthers what they said seemed to be more entertaining & factual! They said it is something like what these people say becomes law of the land and it is only a matter of time the Indian Parliament ratifies whatever they say now & here! They also pointed out that all the parliamentarians in the Indian Parliament are ONLY the representatives of these Law-Mouthers, who elected them through a very democratic process called parliamentary election, every five years! They also had a complaint that their contributions towards the World of Law is never recognised & appreciated, world over! They didn’t forget to add that these millions of Law Mouthers are the pillars of our modern day democracy which is pushed forward (Somehow?!!) by the Law Mouther's Elected Lawmakers in the Indian Parliament & the Other People Who Follow Them On Dotted Lines!
