The scene on May 11, a prediction.

The authorities, on 10 may, will issue a statement stating all precautions have been taken. Emergency arrangements have been done. On 11 May the race starts. When the marchers reach mid-way some marchers collapse due to extreme heat. Then is no water supply, there is no first-aid, there is no ambulance. Confusion prevails. Everybody is running haywire screaming. Parents are screaming foul on the government. The media has a different angle; they are pocking their mikes in the throats of the sick asking them "how do you feel"? The people go out of control, a lathy charge is initiated. And there goes democracy to the dogs. The billion of the country is entertained, by the media, for days together. All of a sudden authorities emerge and declare compensation packages. What a predictable soap! Past experience shapes Opinion! Why not take a short cut? Why not just distribute some cheques to these marchers in advance and let them sit at home, and let us all enjoy the 'next big thing' on national TV 'the Ash-Abhi Honemoony'! Ridiculous mockery. But all is not lost. Hope is not lost.
