Irony penned with a medical eye. A clever poem about bureaucracy and politics, you nail your point beautifully in the final line.

the analogy used is remakable as the so called architect of our country dealt with it like an insensitive professional would-trying to gain kudos for themselves without the forsight for long term gains and losses! ur riposte aginst the cost we are paying for unscrupolous development is an eyeopener. ful 10+++++++

This is an entertaining but thought provoking short story indeed Sathya....... a great satire...well i see your friend Chatterjee has criticized it...but these things still happen..how ever bitter it is they do.....it may not necessarily be a organ bank..but even in so called hi tech hospitals such a thing can happen.... the fact of the matter is they take necessary precautions so that no one will see their faults.....True we are developing...yet it still does happen...for instance do you know how many case were found where people get infected with various disease after donating blood, due to unhygienic syringes? well written too...10++

Hmmmm.....hmmmmmm.....very pessimistic...I think we're doing better than before in many areas....no doubt there are problems as well....but organ banks? ? True, if you refer to organ banks...but what's the anology here? ? Cheers. Subroto

Sad. You have written it well. Here, I recollect a film called 'Coma'. Looks like similar stroy. Great job. Enjoyed it.
