1. The ‘Guy’ is admitted to the Psychiatric Ward of Dhaka CMH. He called me several times and last night, I failed to get an entry into the ward at 10o Clock night. This morning he called me again to send Steaks for him : Medium Rare (SERLION). I ordered three sets / plates for him from the Gulshan Club.
2. Then I called the Psychiatric Ward. First I spoke to Sgt Mizan, who nicely refused any food from outside. I then called Lt / Col Anjum – she also politely refused. At last I called Col Munir the Incharge – he perhaps said Sir, no one can allow you to Pass the food not even the Chief (Little Exaggerated).
3. Frustrated, I sent one set to Mrs. Baig at her residence, one plate to a friend and I savoured one plate myself, to my great delight. I had never known that steaks are so tasty. But when I was told that the 3 plates cost almost Tk. 4,000/- + -, I got upset with myself.
4. Someone told me that gone are the days when 3 plates would cost not more than Tk. 1,000/- in total each Tk. 333/-. No one had taken me to the markets for the last 10/12 years. So I remained ‘Goof on Hoof’ The cost of things in between have gone beyond any imagination. But ‘Filthies’ like us are going ahead unabated caring the least for the helpless majorities !
