Kill the sloth in you and persevere on the path we have chosen...
Please don't be indolent towards your own preparations, your own progress.

Remember, we are a coterie of word-o-philes and we don't want to join
people of the same ilk as other apathetic mates.

You would think I acted as a charlatan. But I just wanted use a few
words that I learnt today and so this mail... I am not a blowhard as
you might think.

Hi Ankur,

well dude i was busy with the Campus interviews. Just finished it a couple of hours ago. Andwhen i opened my account I found this incriminating mail from you. People might be busy and in some case they even have shifted to different forum. I could not have gone to end the story all by myself.
Any ways some threads are really giving a lot competetion to our thread and particularly one that i found was
Will the Pagal go Political? - Be an Authority on your National Insanity.

Well really quite good one and yu should look that too.
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9447 (wow politics)

But i agree that people have gone a lil indolent. Any ways even if all give it up dont worry we still can carry on coz this way is one of the best i found.

bye
priyadarshi

The ambience inside the bunker was fraught with tension. Fear ws effused on everybody's face. Every body was sceptical about the other. Vanguard observed that Marcy was sitting on one corner with an expressionless face. Vanguard started to feel a little sorry for the person.

As he was contemplating, marcy bent forward to stand when a piece of paper fell down from his pocket. He tried to pick it up in a hurry but before that paper was back in pocket Vanguard had noticed the unmistakeable sign of NAZI party.

Suddenly there was sound of hurried footsteps around their bunker and everybody was alarmed.

Was it that Marcy was trying to buy out his freedom by becoming an informant. As he stood in state of shock there was .............

ambience:a particular environment or surrounding influence

fraught: marked by distress

effused: pouring out freely

a gloomy, dark bubble engulfing him. He couldn't take the duress of not eating well for days and the situation and having passed out fell on the floor.
He gained consciousness with the jingles of manacles. He felt a knot in his stomach. The worst had happened. He was quarantined.
Some officers were pointing at him with a grave look on their faces. It needed no more clues to him for the revelation that Marcy had sold him to durance.
He wondered if somebody would ever manumit him. The life had already been so painful in the ghetto that he couldn't think of what was going to happen to him in days to come.
One day, he was taken to appear before the quorum of the ghetto. Was his eyes belying him or he was seeing illusions? No, it was....

Manacle - handcuff, ring-shaped shackle placed on the wrist to bind or restrain
Quarantine - hold in isolation, hold in confinement
Quorum - The minimal number of members of an organization to conduct business
manumit - free from slavery, emancipate, set free from bondage
durance-detention; imprisonment
revelations-act of showing, act of displaying; disclosure, divulgence; epiphany, sudden realization; divulgence of God's will to humans (Theology)

not. The conspicuous presence of Marcy at the other corner of the prison confounded him all the more. If Marcy is here then what was that pamphlet for?
As his eyes raked from one end to other to figure out the people present there he noticed every one.
The question now was who fell out and why. They didnt have to wait long to get their answer.
Sound of laughter started to fill the prison quarter. Officers were talking in German as to how well they have brought down the gang. Among the voices everybody could make out the voice of Hansel. so it was he who gave in.

Hansel then made his appearance before them. Marcy got up and tried to get him. The prison bars stopped him short. They pronounced the judgement.

To be shot dead at the crack of dawn the next day.


My story would have ended there. But it was not to be. Marcy as i will say has that never say die spirit.

As the night passed and morning came we were asked to leave for the shooting ground. Hands tied we walked along.

Suddenly.........

Conspicuous: obvious to the eye or mind
confound: be confusing or perplexing to
rake:examine hastily
