You don't have to cook dear

The tired husband returned from office. Straightaway he told his wife and said, "You don't have to cook tonight".

He freshened up and went out. He finally returned home after four hours. He didn't notice his wife waiting for him, and went to sleep.

She woke him up and asked, "Where is the food". "It was at this hotel. We had a party too", he said and went back to sleep.

Then, she went back to kitchen with tears in her eyes. All her expectations about arranged marriage was broken on a single moment. Her hopes for a new life started to break like glass pieces in her world.

When she turned on the knob of gas, she heard a calling bell. She was so annoyed to receive a guest at midnight. Yet, she walked towards the door.

The took the towel and wiped out all the tears before opening the door. She saw a man dressed in orange T-shirt and cap. She turned on the outside light, and recognised that the guy was from Swiggy.

"Madam! Are you Kahul Raushik", he asked. She realised that the delivery was for the person in the opposite house. Her final hopes were also broken. She showed the direction to Kahul's house, and closed the door.

She scrambled, wept out for minutes. She almost lost her consciousness thinking about how hopeless her life had become. There was no love, no surprises, no care, no fun, no happiness and nothing positive. She was nothing more than a serving machine to her husband.

She finally came back to her consciousness when she heard her husband's voice. "Why are the lights on", he shouted. She took a deep breath and stood up. She had to bear with all hopelessness in life, but still couldn't resist to serve her husband.

When she turned towards the kitchen, the power went off. She screamed in fear. Her husband threw himself from the bed in shock and walked towards her.

"What happened", he asked. "It's dark and I'm afraid", she said. "You fool! This is India. We have power cuts all the time. You have to adjust with it", he said.

"Ok. Maybe next time I'll do as you say. This time, can you light the candle for me", she asked him. "As if there's a choice. I have to do all works. I have to work at office, and come back to work here. Meanwhile, you enjoy your life on my salary", he said and asked, "where's the candle".

"It's in the kitchen. There'll be cockroaches. Be careful", she said in a mild tone.

"Ya. You'll be afraid of everything. I've to talk with your parents tomorrow about you. They have failed to grow you as a good girl", he said and walked towards the kitchen.

"My parents! Ok. As you say my dear. I'll apologise to everyone tomorrow", she said.

He found the candle and lit the match stick. His time slowed down substantially. He could see that the fire from match stick was growing continuously as if the room was completely filled with burning fuel.

Then boom! The time was insignificant to fill the entire room with LPG, but still it was enough to create a flash fire, which ripped off most of his skin.

"Freedom", she said as she turned on the main switch. The glow of fire had reduced due to the lighting. She watched him suffer with the burning. She played loud music on TV, and enjoyed his pain with the BGM.

"Tomorrow I'll definitely apologise", she said and laughed louder and louder.

Does Imran Khan know that terrorism is a crime?

PC: scroll.in thenews.com.pk

During the release of his autobiography in 1994, Imran Khan shared his experience of how he had involved in occasionally tampering the ball and lifting the seam to get the ball to swing. It was so unfortunate that so many modern cricketers get banned for similar acts while an open admission of such a thing went unnoticed by the ICC Council.

Or perhaps that Imran Khan and the bowlers of his era had not known that ball tampering was against ICC Code of Conduct. He could have possibly realized later in his life and got the courage to admit it before the media. A great gesture of magnanimity!! Or is it not?

That was really not magnanimous for he had been not an average player, but a champion in the sport winning World Cup for his team. What the opponents would have lost because of his illegal act could not be compensated just by admitting his mistake.

Talking about the second innings in his life, the political innings, today he seem to be defending the terrorists in his own region. His gesture towards India in releasing India's Wing Commander might create an impression that Imran Khan wants a peaceful relationship between the countries, but it is not so.

If peace was the intention, he should have acted to put the terrorists behind the bar, when JeM claimed over the Pulwama attack. He was silent. At least he should have responded based on the admission by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif that ISI allowed LeT to attack Mumbai. He was silent. Even after the admission by the former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf that his Intel was using JeM to carry out activities across the border, Imran Khan has not responded.

Perhaps, he wants to make peace with terrorists or he might just follow the quote that "forgiving is the biggest punishment that can be given to a culprit".

Comparing his response to terrorism with his experiences in cricket, it looks like he might think today that terrorism is not aa crime similar to how he did not know that ball tampering was illegal in the past. He might even be thinking that all countries have the right to use terrorism whenever military cannot take open actions.

There could be a second autobiography, called "A Peaceful Deal", where he might show his magnanimity yet again by revealing his peaceful relationships with terrorists.
