The Honest officer - our fiction
Today we are carrying a story, yes, a story - fiction. As in Sci-fi, may be this can be called tax-fic. A Customs story by Radha Arun. Should we add that all the characters and incidents are purely fictional and any resemblance to any person, living or dead or event is purely coincidental? A friend of mine who wrote a novel on police atrocities, wrote in his forward - "all the incidents in this story are true and none of them are imaginary or fiction - only names of persons and places have been changed" - to protect the guilty?
Radha asked me, "would you carry fiction in your site?" "What else am I doing every day?" I asked her.
See our Special Column today for the story. It's rather long by our standards. You may download it and read it at leisure.
