"Acute" dementia
a couple of years back, for once in my life, my wallet disappeared. it hardly had any money, but had my atm cards and my locker key and such. though it had my full address in bold letters written inside in indelible ink, it never came back to me.
* * * * * * *
i never had my pocket picked ever in my life; i am basically from a poor back ground ( it is the immediate family that really matters and other connections are many a times a disadvantage for one has to put up a pretext) i could not have afforded to loose money or things that way and i was always careful. even now you won't find me hiring an auto; what i have learnt is to foot it wherever you can and old habits die hard.
sometime later at a critical juncture, my brief case disappeared. it was just minutes before i was to present a case in a court of law and the briefcase had all my files in it.
luckily i could present the case from memory - the whole petition was my own handiwork and i had a picture memory of all the files!
it would have been an extremely embarrassing situation if i had to tell the judge that i have lost my brief case and the files and cannot carry on! - and that was exactly what was intendedd.
incidentally the judge did ask me, whether i had the case records with me and my answer was "no". of course, it was a sheer coincidence.
this sort of things had never happened to me earlier. the charm of it is that what i lost was all things which cannot be replaced without applying to the concerned authorities, say the banks. if it was just money no body else would have known about it; but here there is an official record for the loss.
later i got the briefcase back from the "special branch" police office in ernakulam - actually it was found missing in the traffic police's domain.
incidentally i had my canteen card in the brief case and that carries the details of my alcohol purchase -slightly embarrassing!. so i pretended that i did not know it was there. the immediate comment of the intelligent police constable was " athupolum ormayilla!".
again the fellow who it was claimed was the one that entrusted the brief case to the police was one of their stooges. according to a co-worker of his, the chap was a police stooge and is granted special privileges and dont have to obey the rules and regulations ("avan avarute aallannu").
i can assure you it was a cooked up affair.
the fact of the matter is that i had the plain clothes men and their "pottans" trailing me incessantly in those times and it was all their handiwork. the above was part of an effort to support the hypothesis that i am demented, which very simply put means that i am forgetful! the modus operandi in my case is for the medical "doctors" of thiruvananthapuram medical college to decide on a most convenient diagnosis and after that for the police men to cook up evidence.
after an "acute" attack of "Dementia" which peaked like many other things in 2002 - 2003 it looks it has settled down. i did not loose any thing worth mentioning later, except perhaps the transistor radio and umbrella that disappeard from my vehicle ( out of sheer necessity i have fixed an elelctronic alarm to my "four wheeler" a couple of months back to ward off the police men and their goons)
now the question is - is it possible that the neurons supposed to be eaten up by Tp has regenerated or am i going to get further attacks of acute dementia once this thing comes online? i think i better be on guard!

pottansthe goons that the police men use as their stooges vary with the political party in power. some time back the symbolic thing about these goons was a red mark, a "pottu" ( teeka), on the forehead - i dont mean those who use it as a reliigious symbol - and i had christened them "pottans". i have studiously avoided picking up a fight with them even when under acute provocation.
after the last political reshuffle i find that the pottans have disappeared. but that does not mean anything to me; another group from another party will come out to claim their share of the unaccounted funds. it looks it is part of the perks for being in the ruling party. the latest of this lot i think are the "m.aandies" - i dont mean muniaandi; yes, u r right, i mean that.

MARUTI-NIPPON ALARMi got the electronic alarm for my car some time in march 2005 and within no time it started misbehaving! a number of times as i stopped outside my gate in order to get down and close the gate it started howling on its own for no rhyme or reason. the catch was that it used to go out of control of the remote and i had to disconnect the battery to stop it and later use the pin and recover it at leisure. the neighbours were obviously enjoying the fun.
later, horror of all horrors, the alarm went off in front of the coffee house in the city. from a distance i could see that there was no body nor any vehicle in the immediate proximity. i rushed to the spot and luckily this time it did stop on using the remote.
i made a complaint to the service people of the company. their reply was that they have never ever heard of such a story! i kept mum. what do you think it was, mr. david blacksmith?! auditory hallucinations or delusions? what do you people ("we") call it. or is it just that an intellectually impaired imbecile is upto his tricks again?
some time later i found that even when the the led was showing that it is armed i could open the door without setting off the alarm! at that time, the vehicle was inside the garage in my house. i left it as it is and called the company's service personal. they came very promptly ( i must admit ) and this time accepted that there is a problem and replaced the equipment. that was on june 09 - within months of first installing the equipment.
as their man was fixing it the alarm started giving off a different type of chirp than the normal one. i became curious for i have heard my vehicle making the same sound on an earlier occassion inside the very same garage. the fellow said that this sound indicates that it is in the programming mode and they use a special code to access it. now, i did not have this code for it is available to the company's technical personnel only. then how did it go into the programming mode! could be another of my hallucinations!
the old equipment has been sent to the company. i made efforts to find out from them what exactly was the problem but there has been no response to my letter as well as an e-mail - could be it never reached them.
after the change over the thing has been functioning properly - that is till date. is it that the police man has become tired of his gimmicks? or is it that there is no point in such endeavours as long as i am not made to pay for it and he is just holding on for the warranty period to be over!
