Quatrain XXXIV -- DAYA OR MAYA*
How often do we idolise a grave-digger?
In Daya Nayak's case, media shunned editorial rigour
The altar of news has numerous stains of this bloody vice
Of a hero fabricated, used and sacrificed.
* Maya - illusion
Daya Nayak, Mumbai police's celebrated encounter specialist is currently in the dock for possessing assets, disproportionate to his income. Nayak with his lethal exploits had been a darling of the media for the last several years, until he struck trouble. Ironically, the gluttunous media vultures, whom Daya fed over the years, have now begun pecking and mauling him ferociously for their grub.

Again, you outdo yourself.
Hi Bushan,
Long time since I last met you... I'm Euan Rocha (Michelle's bro).
I came across your blog through a series of coincidences... It made very interesting reading... Especially, since I haven't been followin' the Goa/India seen very closely of late.
Though I have heard small bits about all the exciting stuff you've been up to and the waves you've been making... Kudos my man!
I'm in NYC, covering boring financial news for Reuters... My e-mail id is euanmarc@yahoo.com
Do drop me a line with your contact details n also, if you have Reuven's e-mail id, please do pass it on. I tried droppin' a comment on his blog, without any luck.
Cheers,
Euan
