The Mammaries Of The Welfare State - Plot & Excerpts
In Madna itself, for example, the Chief Revenue Divisional Commissioner and Agastya’s boss-to-be, on scanning the headlines in The State of the Times, merely said ‘Hmmm’ and focussed with more intensity on the Love-Like-Hate-Adore game that he was scratching out on the side on a memo pad. Whereas fourteen hundred kilometres away in the capital, in marked contrast, Miss Lina Natesan Thomas, Junior Administrator (Under Training) in the Ministry of Heritage, Upbringing and Resource Investment—and eventually Agastya’s subordinate-to-be—submitted, on the subject of the plague, a thirty-page memorandum to the Head of her Department. To each his own, particularly in a vibrant democracy. Love-Like-Hate-Adore isn’t as well-known a game as it should be. It is a splendid time-killer because while squandering away one’s most precious resource, it permits one at the same time to rove from one object of one’s lust to another to gauge whether—and to what extent—they reciprocate one’s affections—and indeed, deep in one’s heart, what one oneself truly feels for them.
