Hi! Mr. (or Ms!)Bigindiacanvas seems to be knowing what "headless chicken" is. I have seen these at the Moore Market (Chennai) chicken shop area where they slaughter chicken, skin them and sell whole chicken meat. As soon as they cut the chicken's head, if they leave the bird, the headless bird runs around for quite some time before its life is extinguished and it falls dead. It is a sad sight. I am a vegetarian. I do not like the sight. It is sad to think of headless chicken running without aim. Perhaps, Mr. Ronen Sen has seen these in his childhood at West Bengal in his family yard. Or has he just borrowed the metaphor from some literarary work?
