Before we take all you readers (I know there are millions of you out there) on the trip of your lives, let us tell you how this blog came into existence...
I believe most of you would have heard the story of how Gautam Buddha was enlightened under a banyan tree while meditating... Well ours is a similar story... The two of us were sitting in front of Phattu ki dukan at the hallowed Badi Market in Pantnagar (don't get nervous if you do not know these famous places, they are a bit difficult to reach), ruminating after having a couple of samosas each, when we realised it was our divine purpose to spread knowledge, peace, madness, insomnia and the infamous foot and mouth disease (not to mention the foot in mouth disease too) among the rich and the poor, the beautiful and the not so beautiful, the young and the younger... in short, among everyone in this world.
It would be fitting to tell you all about the two people who have taken this task of unfathomable proportions upto themselves...
Manish: The perfect human being. A vet par excellence, his heart is full of compassion for the poor animals who cannot speak, and has taken it as the mission of his life to provide them succour. As far as the animals who are not that poor, or whose masters are not that poor, however, he has different ideas which shall not be broached upon at this point in time. He is also one of the seven original masters of English language (the other six died mysteriously after having dinner at his place and were detected as having abnormally high amounts of arsenic sulfide in their blood streams!!) and has a wit which is sharper than the sword of George W Bush.
Marvin the Paranoid Android: Sometimes erraneously referred to as Rishi, Marvin is, as the name suggests, paranoid. Also as the name suggests, he is an android, as in supposedly human. He drives a three wheeler which has got six wheels, and does nothing for a living. He does not believe in compassion of any sort. Though he claims to have a working knowledge of English, Hindi and Zulu apart from Sanskrit and German, experts are divided in their opinions...
These two misfits were united by some quirk of fate during the magnetic storm in the last to last eleven year solar cycle. It was at Campus School, Pantnagar that they were brainwashed into becoming what they are today- your potential tormentors... So having been warned adequately, if you continue to read on, it is at your own risk and these guys andthe government of India have no liability, explicit or implicit, in any damages or otherwise loss arising as a consequence, direct or indirect, of reading this blog.
