Of adulterated love, ladoos and logistics- a short column

The implicit meaning of adulteration is to worsen or corrupt the quality of any item Xyz by the addition of an inferior or foreign substance to it. In the modern world, this man-made manifestation seems to be omnipresent in its various forms akin to a deity. Regrettably, it seems to have been assimilated in the deity’s daily diet of ghee- soaked (Gee! shocked) ladoos.

Adulteration with the likes of lard (pig fat) and too much ‘laad’ (pampering and indulgences) have been found to explicitly shatter FAITH and create FITH (flipped/ ****ed in the head) scenarios respectively. Substituting quality- time, at the drop of a dime, with smart- phones is the unsmart SOP opted by over- worked and/or over-indulgent parents that tends to adulterate love with material laad. No wonder that about 9.5% children in the age group pf 3- 17 years have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression or other behavioral problems and this gloomy statistic seems to be escalating.

Amid escalating tension in West Asia, the covert intelligence behind the planning and smooth execution of a cutting- edge, supply- chain adulteration project has blown the minds of the whole world after blowing up over thousands of pagers and walkie- talkies simultaneously.

In comparison, rated on a crime scale, adulteration of milk with starch, masalas with brick powder, pointed gourds with malachite green make for petty pick-pocketers that would generate no explosive news either.

An unadulterated prayer meanwhile! May the shadow of the red dot/triangle hovering over the Supreme Almighty’s carte du jour soon pass and may the mother earth not keep getting stained a crimson- red anymore. Amen!
