NLS Webcomic - Episode 4

But film buffs will never be bored of directors...


I know it's a horrible pun. I know god will punish me for it. But this blog has seen worse.

I've been publishing elsewhere too

I forgot to mention this as I was typing the previous post just an hour ago. Maybe it's just as well because that post had gone on too long anyway. Anyway, Rainmaker have been kind enough to post a couple of funny pieces of mine on their website. You can find them here and here. Go ahead check it out... These pieces haven't been posted on this blog so you're sure to find something new there. Their website is also very cool and might hold something of special interest to you if you are a law student or a lawyer. What am I saying? If you're a lawyer you probably already know about it.

Episode 3 - On life and politics

...and I shall be an eligible beneficiary.

A softer world, NLSIU edition - casting aspersions on mooters

Thanks to Gupta who apart from inspiring told me how to put in the alt text.

What does it cost?

This isn't really a post as much as it is a sad joke that should have been a tweet. But since I'm putting it up here, I'll resolve to make it a trailer for the next post which will be bigger and better.

My target today is again from the front page of the Times of India. The article claims that Rs 42 Lakhs are wasted every time the legislature doesn't function. The article feels sad about this. I would say that it's good. 42 Lakhs is very economical. Just think about the money that would have been wasted if they actually functioned.

Long convoluted joke

So our hero, the defender of civil liberties and anti war crusader decides to have a road show where he will be shown to demolish, at least symbolically, all divisive structures.

He first goes to Panmunjom, a village divided by a brick and mortar compound in the Korean DMZ.(I'll hit anyone who asks me North Korean or South Korean) A huge crowd of fans from all over the world has gathered to watch him in action with his sledge hammer. He takes one mighty swing and knocks 15 grams of debris on to the ground. International media lauds him but notes that he didn't do anything to acknowledge his fans and went about the task nonchalantly which isn't quite his style.

He then goes to the border at Gaza strip where the Israelis have constructed a separator to keep out Palestinians. He doesn't turn to smile at the hearty cheers of "Allah-ho-Akbar" from the local Fatah party workers and mechanically swings his hammer.

Next stop - Berlin. Now there isn't any wall anymore obviously but this is all symbolic so it doesn't matter. So he goes to a small erection that has come up specially for this event. No glance towards audience, his face emotionless he gives it a whack with his hammer. People are beginning to worry if he's getting carried away with the show.

He goes then to Western Sahara's compound of shame, dividing Moroccan controlled areas and Polisario controlled areas. His faithful audience has followed him to the desert. He looks at his fans, says "check this out" and breaks the fourth wall.
