Hello all, 
Was talking with Mr Soli Arya, the owner of Royal
theatre. Of other things, he talked of a certain
meeting with an important police official. The
official said, “the film industry works in the
darkness of the hall and in the process, is sparing
the society from other kinds of darkness-theft,
robbery etc. Your cinema hall engages not only ‘good’
people in the society, but ‘bad’ people as well.
Thanks to you, the crime rate has gone down”.

As opposed to this, I met a certain Mr Mehmood, the
local godfather-prototype-Dawood-look-alike. He said,
“You are researching on the cinema halls, why don’t
you write about the pickpockets around these cinema
halls? Local gangs thrive around these theatres and
rob poor people of their money (an incident where a
poor man was robbed of the money meant for medicines,
but what is gone is gone). The police apparently are
aware of all the gangs in the area, and the evident
process of sharing the loot happens. Looks like
another film on roll. The At-all-times-closed- police-
chowki is symbolic of the hopeless situation in the
area. He said, “This is the eight wonder of the world.
It is this hyacinth which looks very organized, but is
dirty and stagnant. This is one place where you can
get anything and everything that you want at any point
of time, food, sex, dope, lottery and other types of
gamble, ask anything and you can have it. HAR CHEEZ KA
BHOJAN AAP 100 RUPEES MEIN KAR SAKTE HAIN!!!!! But the
common man is over. Once on this road, the
pick-pockets won’t leave you, if you are spared, the
prostitutes wont, go ahead, there are eunuchs waiting
for you!!! 
Ho ho ho , hope my point is clear.
