The reason I decided to post this, is simply because there were a lot of well-wishers on the BBN and otherwise, who literally were ready to wear black shirts and protest in good will. Their trust was inimitable.It has been quite some time since I read the day's news paper and some clarifications to one and all was definitely due by this time. I didn't see one. What was also creditable was the appreciable action taken by the media. Media is a tough job. Say something good, you might be in trouble. Say something bad, well. you get the picture. And it is tougher when you have Point Of View. Two things about P.O.V's in media :
1) They get dumped or diluted or contorted
2) They become Editorials
If rash, irritation, redness, or swelling develops, discontinue reading.
I have tried to put into perspective from all the info I have recd through sources involving all the via media possible( quite a deluge at that!) This sounds like a proper script for a fast-paced flick, which moves from one junction to another with different versions. It's time I think somebody pulls the chain on this chain of posts and emails! Being from the media myself and definitely inebriated by this information overload, I post this mother of all long posts! Read at your own risk.By reading this, you do not explicitly or implicity acknowledge that you have seen this. Nor do you necessarily agree or disagree with the views expressed herein... Under no circumstances should you form your own opinions.I am in no way responsible for any health(mental or otherwise) or economic side effects from failing to follow these instructions.
(P.S. Then there is one primary area of concern, how does one procure a ticket from a Electronic Ticketing Machine which is non-functional. Is there truth in that? I don't know... I prefer buying platform tickets from the counter)
A lesson for all us writers/media professionals/journos here. Cross-checking is essential!And there are a million shades to every story.
Hmmm..As Merlin rightly points out in his earlier post, and I continue to some extent in the same "train" of thought...
Name of the story:
Namma Hero N. A. (Not Applicable) - Ondu Tabarana Kathe ( A Plat Forum Con - stable story)
In case we have any takers or makers of this film and there needs to be a "love" angle the we can have one scene like this: long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Chennai at 6:36 p.m.traveling at 55 mph, the other from Bangalore (Shatabdi) at 4:19 p.m.at a speed of 35 mph.
(My two penny serious p.o.v) to be neglected if N.A. ( not applicable)
This happens to many a person. And such issues are hardly addressed:
Firstly I seem to see this in another perspective or should I say Track"( forgive the pun!) What about the uneducated, illiterate, 4 year old boy who works not in XYZ Microsytems but in a small lodge or ekes out a living on the road who gets conned by the mafia boss and the police constable every day ?
So it suddenly takes one " IIML Batch of 2003, ITBHU Batch of 2001" who has access to email, gmail and went to drop his "female" (fiance) to kick up a ruckus like this.
Did it take him a 2 full year course and a trip to the Samsung Showroom to realise he was being conned? Well, doesn't reflect much on our highly regarded Bschool grad or his man-management skills.
My condolences are definitely with him though. But I prefer to feel sad for all those millions who are feeling melancholic for this boy( who lost his toy or didn't) who got his money back and a lot of media attention to boot
and a load of free incoming calls to fill his policed soul and already bloated ego.
My favorite parts:
"He told me that the only way I was to get out was if I was willing to pay my way through. Being in no state to make a rational choice, I gave him my ATM card and pin"
"Having broken down mentally I did not realise that I was being cheated. He then took me to a Samsung showroom and tried purchasing a cellphone worth Rs. 18500 with my card. It was only then that I realised what was happening.
I grabbed my card back, caught him by the collar, snatched my cash that lay in his pocket, and got into a running auto." ( Pretty athletic, after " being beaten until he has no physical or mental well-being") And running
autos? Normally in Bangalore when you say the four letter word"AUTO" they stop!
"I was asked to sign a statement which said that I hit the police and TT in a drunken state. I refused. Finally, they pressurized me to write that I did not produce a platform ticket when asked. I wrote the same and then V
Srinivas took me out of the station"
Moral of this story:
N.A. (Not Applicable) is his name
He works for a professional automation systems engineering company.
IT BHU
IIML graduate
Spam God Extraordinaire
Has an account in ICICI
Has a gmail account
144 google search link returns to his name
Has been to a Samsung Showroom
Is "strong enough to pay his way though"
Knows Mr V.Srinivas
Unfortunately still beaten by the system

The Kahani Main Twists and the Turns:
There was a fresh twist in the recent City Railway Station incident where a software professional was assaulted by some ticket collectors and Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel. On Saturday, the railway authorities traced another accused who had attempted to rob the victim in the melee.
V Srinivas, claiming to be with a top software firm, was identified by ticket collectors as the person who had attempted to rob the victim, Nimish Adani on September 30.
Srinivas of Dharmapuri, who often travels between the city and his native place, was identified by railways staffers at the station on Saturday evening. Sources said Nimish had also identified him. Sources said the victim has been taken through an identification parade where he recognised the accused.
Shortly after a case was taken up, South Western Railway officials suspended two ticket collectors and four RPF personnel suspected to be involved in the incident.
Quoting Merlin: "I read today in TOI that Nimish has withdrawn his complaint. According to the report, independent witnesses examined in presence of Nimish and the accused Railway Officials have stated that Nimish was in an inebriated state and did not have a platform ticket at the time of assault. The report goes on to give further details, which I have not included here as I could not get the link on TOI website. Its available on page three of the main newspaper."
The Story on the net is not yet available. The questions Merlin poses are definitely note-worthy.
"1. Did Nimish present his version of the case properly ?
2. Did Nimish really go to Railway Station in an inebriated state ?
3. Did Nimish not buy a Platform Ticket ? According to the report,Nimish is supposed to have pointed to a particular ticket vending machine which was out of order on that particular day!!!!
4. What about Srinivas ? Did Srinivas really do as what Nimish has indicated. Ofcourse Bangalore Police are investigating and we will know something more on that soon.
5.Have the Railway officials conducted an impartial enquiry ? But I do know for a fact that they do conduct impartial enquiries!!
There are too many questions that pop up ? Makes me wonder who is right and who is wrong or was the whole episode blown out of proportion ??? Whatever, Nimish owes us an explanation for withdrawing the complaint, for we all blindly supported him to the hilt !!!!
What makes the matter worse is that his post has been forwarded across the world through emails, sullying Bangalore's image!!!!! Wonder will this report from TOI be forwarded the same way ???"
Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.
