KHALSA JI,

TODAY WE MOURN the Akal Challanna of an old friend...Common Sense.

No body knows how old CS was or even when he was born as his records dont exist...and his memeories are lost and buried somewhere deep within the red tape of bureacracy.

But CS will always be remembered as having taught us values like...why the early bird gets the worm, why we shouldnt play in the rain....Life isnt always FAIR..

CS always lived by simple sound financial policies - basic one - DONT SPEND MORE than you earn...Chaadar vekh ke paire pasarao.."stretch your legs only as far as the edge of your blanket ( or your feet will stick out the end and get cold !!)..in other words living on "borrowed" funds will leave you out in the cold without an umbrella when it rains....in today's world of "credit" cards who cares for CS anyway.

CS always demanded that ADULTS be in Charge and not kids or parenting strategies will go astray....and they have done...due to well meant and well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place...NO CANING..NO SLAPPING...NO SHOUTING.... Thats when the health of CS began to deteriorate..

So what do we get ?? Newspapers report a six year old boy charged for sexual harrassment for molesting/kissing his classmate...teenagers suspended from school afetr being caught using mouthwash after lunch....a teacher SACKED for reprimanding an unruly student...the HEALTH of CS rapidly going down the tubes...

CS was admitted to the ICU ( Intensive care Unit) when Schools were REQUIRED to get Parental Consent BEFORE giving Aspirin to a student....BUT couldnt INFORM the parents when their daughter GOT PREGNANT and wanted an abortion...as this would violate her "RIGHTS" .

Finally CS began to be on his last few breaths as "religion" was BANNED from schools, Churches, became BUSINESSES...and CRIMINALS had more RIGHTS than the victims

CS splutterred and gasped on his deathbed when he ehard that a Woman in a restaurant, knowing fully well that the coffee served by the witreess was piping hot, spilled it on her lap....and the COURTS awarded her a Huge Award in "compensation"

CS DIED...the next day..... His Parents (Truth and Trust) could not be present at his funeral because they had died much earlier. Sad to say CS's wife DISCRETION, His daughter, RESPONSIBILITY, and his son REASON had also preceeded his own death. But present at his funeral were his surviving Step-Brothers...MY RIGHTS and I am Whiner...the mourners present could be counted on the fingers of one hand....because NOT MANY even realised Common Sense was Going...going...GONE.
