When I was a lad of 13-14 I used to have a pet dog. I called him DoDo. Not that he resembled any bird or something, it just sounded nice to me. Dodo was an interesting character. Like most of the pets he picked up some human habbits. However once he showed a really peculiar behaviour. I don't know if he picked it from humans .. or its the humans who pick it from them (the dogs i mean).
Once I took Dodo for a walk in the park. It so happened that another dog was also there in the park and was rather big, at least bigger than my Dodo. The devil barked at him and tried to challenge him. Dodo behaved as if nothing had happend, as if he did'nt hear anyone barking. I urged him to pick a fight but he just ignored. I was a bit disappointed.
Anyhow when I came home our 'brave' Dodo stumbled upon a dust bin with some papers in it and boy he went mad on the dust bin. He tore apart the papers, barked at it and bit the dust bin too. As if he was showing that he is a ferocious creature and once angered can go to any limits to tear apart his rival. This behaviour really amused me and my family. He was probably trying to overcome the embarassement he faced in the park, due to the other dog. Well, interesting story, isn't it, but whats the point? Ah forget the point and why must I always try to make a point. However, read these news items and make a point yourself .. if you can!!!

The Puppet Show
"Dehshat Khan" sitting somewhere in his cave, oiling his guns and listening to 'FM' radio. His mind is crystal clear about his deeds and beliefs. No shadow of doubt or an attempt of self analysis ever crosses his mind. His religious thought deeply entwined with his local customs is devoid of sane religious and worldly thought. He acts fearlessly and even, mercilessly.
Captain "Hero Malik" trained in the elite army school, filled with pride and sense of superiority. His organization is the "most honest" and "patriotic" institution of the country. Obeying his superiors is not just his professional etiquette, its his way of life. He never flinches before he acts upon what is ordered. He too, never thinks before and after any command he carries out. The success of mission, his primary goal and the integrity of his deeds, never shaken or even questioned.
Be it Dehshat Khan or Capt. Hero Malik, both seem to be just puppets. With their strings in the hands of a puppeteer. What do we know about their puppet masters, they are behind the scenes. Do they have a same puppet master? Or they have different masters who sometimes shake hands and sometimes just stay aloof. What do we know? We are just watching the puppet show, where Dehshat Khan and Capt. Hero Malik are trying to fight the hell out of each other. Their masters are orchestrating the show perfectly and we, are just watching the show ... just watching the show!!!
