You think Indu is funny?

Indu Dharmasena is supposed to have put on a play about the havoc caused by mistakenly sent sms messages. Messages meant for a lover, sent by mistake apparently to a sms group of friends, causes havoc says Kollu, and various other promoters, about Indu Dharmasena’s play.
This is funny because the funniest things this season have happened due to sms messages sent intentionally by various people in real life - not those sent mistakenly in plays.
The IGP has said that he has cleared some 20000 pounds of polythene at this election. What is that? I mean what is this man going on about? I have cleared more than 400000 unsolicited election text messages from my inbox without the help of a single policeman. It’s now clear why J. R. Jayewardene once said that each man’s security will have to be provided by himself.
One of the most hilarious sms messages that I received during this campaign season was the one that said that the commissioner of elections is retiring after the election.
This is like a ghost coming before you near the Kanatta, and saying that he is planning to die tomorrow.
Hold it, I said, and texted the short-messenger back saying that I thought the elections commissioner’s problem all these days was that he was not allowed to retire.
In that case how is he planning to retire once the election is over?
I think there is also a Supreme Court order that the elections commissioner cannot retire. If that is the case, suddenly it appears the commissioner has got bold and is planning to be in contempt of court.
Phew!
How come he has got so bold all of a sudden?
Must be all the fight he gave to those election cut-out maniacs and state media fellows, no?
He has made it clear that there were so many violations - - but that he cannot fight them.

Tantrums

So he has thrown a lot of tantrums like some boy who can’t get a toy car he wants. This time he is threatening to retire. “Mommy, I will to go to school after the 26th if I do not get my toy car.”
The man who is so bold as to be in contempt of court — the problem is why he is not so bold to say on TV that the entire election has been rigged already, because of these umpteen violations by state media etc, etc?
But his tantrum has to be after the elections.
I mean picture this.
Man gets flogged in the boxing ring. He gets pummelled. Most of the shots are received below the belt. He says so while he is in the ring —- “below the belt, below the belt,” he screams.
But the referee doesn’t stop the opponent.
The referee lets the fight go on only making some occasional comments to those around the ring “You know those shots were really below the belt. Yuck.”
There are more below the belt shots.
So the referee says “Look I’m going to resign after this fight, after this fight I am no referee.”
The boxer who is getting pummelled wonders — like hell that helps me, no?
Referee doesn’t seem to be tuned-in.
By this time he is so full of his own apparent loudly held victimhood that he says “This is the last fight, I swear this is the last fight. Even if the boxing federation sends me to jail for breach of contract, this is my last fight.”
Oh golly. By that time, the boxer getting pummelled is bleeding very badly and has almost lost the fight due to the below the belt shots.
Referee is not bothered.
He says “I’m retiring. I don’t care for any potentate -- who are these potentates -- I am retiring even if it is contempt of court.”
Ouch, that was the unkindest cut; it hit that pummelled fighter right below the belt.
