There will be more on this list and I am,of course, ready and honour-bound to serve (and save) more, but for the moment I am trying to put together a list of what’s been done. We need records. We may not need — or compile, or give out — data because data being data is hard and incontrovertible fact and those things are not good for us; we do not like facts coming in the way of our noble mission.So wherever necessary — or unnecessary— avoid, even abrogate. Pander to facts and facts begin to dictate the discourse. Whatever did I become leader for? To lead and to mislead as the situation requires, facts gaye bhaanr mein.

You will have to live with that. After all, you elected me, and here I am. Besides, the truth is I put up with living with you, so you will have to live with me. It is not as if only you tolerate me; I tolerate you too. You make way for me? Well, so do I. Strict instructions have been given, so listen all. Beware. Be very careful. Make sure if you areamong the counted,among those set out and apart for my favours. If you are,you may be about to be visited and notified. Goats? Goat herds?Sheep? Shepherds? Cows? Cowherds? Buffalos and buffalo-fellows? Cats? For sure,don’t cross my path. Dogs? Oh yes, this time pillay too, not again that under-the-wheels stuff for pillay. We will stay out of the way of pillay. Peacocks. Cocks. Hens.Crows. Pigeons. Rats. Rodents. Crickets. Chameleons.Centipedes. Roaches. Grasshoppers. Locusts. Donkeys. Asses. Ponies. Their droppings.

And on their droppings, termites. All kinds of termites; we remember telling you about some of those kinds when termites were first employed as synonym for the unwanted ones. Not so any longer — come termites, in your multitudes of varieties and forms. Who else? Anyone? Minions! Spoons and Ladles! Who else? Anyone else?

Ambulance!!!

Ah, Ambulance!! Great idea! I make way forall and Ambulance. And it looks good. Get all ofthe above and get Ambulance. With siren blaring, never mind if no patient is dying. Pull the curtains. Let the sirens blare and the magic redlight spin on top like madness and let it be kept ready so when I come by, it can follow and I can go to one side and give way and warm applause. Iam like that you see. I can do plannings well.

I can manage the situation if situation matters.I can step aside for termite, and if that termiteis inside Ambulance, it is soney pe suhaagasort of thing. I have been called Event Managerby my shoved aside guru. Not just like that.
