So it’s come to this. People are rejoicing because ACP Dhoble might be away this weekend. Like kids wait for a stern father who spends Sundays checking their messy rooms and making them learn Sanskrit shlokas, to go on office tour so they can read after bed time and watch too much TV.u00a0The right to party is not a frivolous one. Pleasure and leisure are the necessary foil to our labour and anxiety, as night is to day. So I am in full solidarity with those who have taken out their modest protests against the new D company.
