THE PROTECTORS

Alex [= cowardly "hippies" Y and Z] explained, 'I didn't run away, Josh [OF COURSE the scared "hippies" ran away - G]. I just thought that guy's [= Satan's gang of male and female aliens] such a nutter there's no telling what he'd do [what Satan's gang would do].'

'I was pretty certain he [the gang of aliens] wouldn't do anything,' said Josh quietly.

'How did you [You] work that out?' demanded Alex.

Josh shrugged. He wasn't sure what had tipped him off. [I was SURE that Ms. X who was acting on behalf of Satan gave Me an EMPTY THREAT by mixing "poison" in My tea - a stupid threat - seated in a car that halted in front of Bombay GPO, she hung her head in shame in front of Me as I stood on the steps of Bombay GPO regally surveying the scene with secret amusement and violent anger. No one tipped Me off. Just cool thinking. - G]

But Neil [Satan] never did anything. He [Satan] wasn't even much of a fighter. Come to think of it, Josh couldn't remember Neil [Satan] ever being in a fight. He [Satan] was just a master illusionist, picking his victims with great care and convincing everyone he was the power-broker at the centre of a great web of intrigue. He'd fooled [Satan had fooled] everyone, until tonight, when Josh had suddenly called his bluff.

... this extraordinary scene...

Alex rubbed his hands gleefully. 'He [Satan] won't dare show his face round here again.'

Josh silently agreed. Neil [Satan] had let his mask slip.

Neil [Satan] hadn't just been defeated: he was like a fox after it's been thrown to the hounds. He [Satan] was in bits.

A great shudder ran through Josh. He didn't want to see any creature in bits, not even Neil [Satan]. [Wrong; as a matter of fact, rapist Satan committed virtual suicide in extreme panic a few years ago, scared of God. - G]

Neil [Satan] didn't deserve pity. When had he [Satan] ever shown an ounce of pity for his victims? Besides, Neil [Satan] had brought the whole thing on himself.

Josh had been left no choice. Josh had performed a kind of operation: purging the school of a deadly virus.
Now all the pupils [mankind and womankind: the human race] living in fear of Neil [Satan] were free at last. And a terrible wrong had been righted. He kept telling himself that.

Watching Neil [Satan] crawl away reminded Josh of that scene in The Wizard of Oz where water is poured on the Wicked Witch of the West and she suddenly starts shrinking.

Neil [Satan] had shrunk nearly as fast as that witch.

He was still shrinking.

Then he vanished completely.

[Right. Vanished completely and permanently. - G]

Legacy টেগেসি কিছুই না - the vital components absent in today's songs are fine lyrics and fine tunes. আজকালকার upstarts রা hard work করে না - sincerity নেই - dedication নেই - সবাই instant - but only very temporary - fame চায় through sustained mass advertisement.

The elderly gentleman on বাংলা TIME who has a sweet voice sings far better than today's over-praised, over-advertised upstart singers who dish out unpleasant cacophony.

সারা ভারতবর্ষের, সারা পৃথিবীর নারীদেরকে নগ্ন করা হচ্ছে - including পশ্চিম বঙ্গের ৷
