Every so often there comes a story so laced with irony, dripping as it were with the sweet juices of the comedic staple, that it makes this humble blogger sit up and take notice. Not long ago the title of Most Ironic Event belonged to the Lions of Monotheism, who firebombed churches to protest the Pope's comments linking Islam and...violence. Today (well actually, two days ago), the torch is passed on to my desi brethren.
After finding the entrance test for the police force a mite challenging, several hundred applicants went on a rampage around Ghaziabad, thus ruining any chance they may have had of joining law enforcement any time soon. Politics, on the other hand, seems more enticing than ever for these eager public servants.
But what of the non-rioters? The pacifists who decided it would be better to lodge a complaint and go home? My guess is Ramu (I assume there is only one would-be police officer who doesn't love a good riot, and I have named him Ramu. If you have a problem with that, I know hundreds of Ghaziabadis willing to rampage through your town) went to the Commissioner's office - as you do - and aired his grievances.
Hey, it's only a guess.

Ramu: Sir please sir, I don't think the test was fair...
(a crash is heard as a rock breaks the Commissioner's window)
Crowd outside: Maro! Maro! Commissioner Sahib, hai hai!
Ramu: Is a re-evaluation at all possible?
The commissioner gets up, smiling. A small tear runs down his face. Meanwhile, the crowd continue to chant and throw stuff into the office.
Commissioner(hugging Ramu): That was the test, my boy. Welcome aboard.
(beat)
Commissioner: Now grab a uniform, some tear gas and a lathi. Those rioters aren't going to brutalise themselves.
