Tamasha (The show)

TAMASHA ( The show)

Standing at a crossroads

looking for her would be

from another caste

he came wearing a hooded cape

shot her point blank

and escaped

stunned onlookers

left aghast.

The police searched motives

fought over jurisdiction

but arrived at conclusion,

“ the deed was lover’s envy

it was open and shut case

she was done to death due to jealousy.”

So her lover was caught

Who denied the charge

media thundered,” why such haste ?”

And wrote stories not in good taste.

Political connections were sought

every Sohan, Mohan and Devi fought

though there was no coup

the police was put in soup

media smelt a scoop.

Investigations followed

local police to CID* and to CBI*

questions were raised in assembly

creating din at center

hue and cry in the city

some suggested ‘RAW’*

what a pity ?

Political fallout was great

putting in turmoil every state

demos, rampage and destruction

hartal#, rioting and arson

taking heavy toll

with no rhyme or reason.

Several were dead

numerous maimed

a few tried to surrender

but shot in encounter

and all this for

just for one murder !

WHAT A TAMASHA !

Ps :

Accidently

after six months of lull

a man caught

in a cheating case

owned responsibility

having killed her

BEACAUSE OF MISTAKEN  IDENTITY ! ! !
