Demolition

Let us do something Bannerjee, let us build a new Kolkata.

First let us strain space. Sweep your net along the Bypass and empty out the sludge in the bin of all-things-Kolkata-is-leaving-behind.

Let us ground the unnecessary people into the dust. Twist your heel over their remains, so that they may never rise.

Don’t worry Buddha Bannerjee, they are easy to recognise. They wear shabby clothes, they take up city space, they talk back. They also innovate, have creative business acumen and put in as many hours as those at Sector 5. It’s not our fault that they don’t fit our imagination.

Tell you what, it’s unfair to remove them so suddenly. Let us give them notice. Let us tell the respectable citizens that we gave them 9 days warning. But let us only tell THEM the night before.  

That’s right Bannerjee, roll out the Police force. Lock those protesting bastards up.

The trouble is, Bannerjee, we have to do this again. And again. And again. Those bastards don't stay down.
