The Curious Case of Missing Clothes.

"Life is a tragedy for those who can feel but a comedy for those who can think.."
and that exactly is what, all conflict in the world is about, among those who "think" and those who "feel", though none completely belong to, exactly, one of the categories. One would always be a thinker for 'OTHERS' but when it comes to oneself all 'feelings' just come up to the brim... just to clarify what I exactly mean, here's another quote,

" A tragedy is when i cut my finger, and a comedy is when you fall into a gutter and die... ha"

But then the question arises of who is right and who is wrong?? For this is how we judge everything around us. This is what we divide the world into, THE "RIGHTS", and THE "WRONGS"...!!!

Recently, i heard about a death in my locality. One of the tenants in my neighborhood recently committed a suicide ( as they say ) but to me thing's don't seem that simple.. Though, i don't even know the poor lady's name, still her death made me uneasy. The reason might be that I've played with her kids. (The image of her three year old daughter bidding me goodbye innocently as i left for my college everyday is horrifying me now, she didn't get enough time to know her mother..)

Anyways, her family has left the city, so, coming back to my point, how can someone burn oneself alive, how drastic the situation might have been that forced her into such a decision, is something that eludes me... The other big question is, that how could the landlords, ( who live just below their floor), neither hear the screams of the dying lady, nor smell the burning flesh ( which i feel is a considerably harsh smell).
Her husband is completely unscathed, which means he didn't even try to save his wife.......!!!!
The police, who interrogated no one but believed that the lady died while lighting a 'diya' for the evening prayers??? How come???
Nothing of these seem to fit my stream of logic. Anyways, I'm not SHERLOCK HOLMES, as to investigate into the case but the thing i want to point out is the extremely eccentric behavior of the landlords..
How can someone be so unthinking as to not even save someone's life..?? ( i can not believe that they did not know that someone is burning right above their floor??)
They own a car, but that woman was carried to the hospital in an auto??
This, precisely, is where the thinking of people divide. For them the "Right" was to keep themselves and their family out of police case. (Which in our country is as good as being the criminal) but for me the right would have been to save a 3 year old girl's mother... Their right for me is a terrible "WRONG"......

Anyways the comedy here is that today morning the dead woman's domestic help came up to their place asking for her salary. She was told that her employer is no more, she refused to believe it considering it to be a lame excuse for not paying her. She stole the dead woman's clothes for compensation... FUNNY, isn't it??
Now just lemme know whether this is Right or Wrong???
