HangMan


Many of us have played the game, Hang Man. Think a word, draw dashes, and let others fill it out. I think one had to give a clue. H_n_m_n was prone to swing like a pendulum- to and fro, fro and to. It was fun! But this is a different kind of Hangman. This game's being played by people, the representatives of the people, and the voice of the people (people, government, and media). Save the man whose going to be hanged! Have mercy! Gandhigiri ke naam pe raham karo.

The literate and people belonging to the literati have tried to justify their humanity. I do not believe them. I will not believe them. If the man had planned to take out our capital...they his punishment aught to be one of similar magnitude. If this person is not treated in a similar manner as to the Bengali chowkidar, Dhananjaya, who choked for raping a little girl many years ago, won't Dhananjay's ghost come back to haunt us?

There's one trick to winning in hangman that works most often than not- wait and watch. When the waitings over, fill in the blanks... Hangman.
