July 31, 2016 Sunday
Yesterday father and I had spent 2 hours at the Kalachowky police station.
The investigating officer has been changed from Inspector Pawar to Inspector Deshmukh.
This had happened quite suddenly on July 26th Tuesday.
We were shocked to know that the hearing of the 5 accused was over on 25th Monday.
Their bail order was set for 26th.
Our investigating officer Pawar had kept us blind.
So was our so called friend and the criminal advocate Satish Kotyan whose brother had
actually taken up the case for the accused.
Our own advocate Rizwan Merchant described his fraternity of criminal lawyers as
prostitutes.
For money they would go to bed with anybody.
Then immediately we rushed to Merchant's office and reached there by 2 .15 pm.
Leaving everything aside, without any papers for intervention, he rushed to the court.
And managed to stop the bail order from being passed.
When I called Inspector Pawar later asking why he did not inform me about the bail proceedings.
He lied.
He told me that he and the APP (appointed public prosecutor) had manged to stop the bail
order from being passed (when he was not even in the court).
Then I knew this officer was on the take.
We were back stabbed and betrayed both by our investigating officer and so called friend
Satish Kotyan.
Then we knew we could trust no one.
The senior police officer Inspector Ughle also gave us another shocker.
The Crime Branch officer Jadhav who had let Sanjay get away (obviously after accepting
a hefty bribe), has been transferred.
We have also been told that Judge Wankhade in whose court Sanjay Veera's bail hearing
has been set for has also been well bribed.
Now tell me, in such a world, where everyone works for illegal money abrogading their
duties can justice be expected!
Right from the crime branch officer, to the investigating officer, to the lawyers and judges;
Everybody is deep in nefarious debauchery and profiteering.
My new investigating officer told me that the case against Sanjay Ramniklal Veera is still
very weak in the court of law. (This is because he was allowed to flee in the first instance, and
allowed to manipulate and grease everybody's palms).
It is a sick world, I knew all the while.
To experience it first hand is an altogether distressing and a frightening experience.
My greatest consolation comes from the fact that very sagely I did not reproduce bringing
another life incalculable anguish and torment.
Bedtime Story
Following copper, the second element that our ancestors befriended was lead or Pb from Latin Plumbum.
It was being used as early as 7000 B.C. by the Egyptians.
With an atomic number of 82, it falls in the group 14 under carbon.
It is one of those heavy elements that were formed much later after the big bang in the extreme conditions of exploding supernovae.
You may recall that elements with atomic number from 6 to 26 are formed in the burning stars (stellar nucleosynthesis).
You much understand that in nature things start from simplicity and advance to complexity.
Such is the case with elements.
Elements form by a process called neutron capture which can either be slow called s-process or rapid called r-process.
The slow process is reeeaaally slow, and can take up centuries or millennia (This should give you an idea how insignificantly short our lives are).
The rapid neutron capture process is real quick and takes just tens of seconds.
Just see the beauty of element creation in the stars.
In space, in the stars or supernovae, a nucleus of an atom may capture a neutron.
If the resulting nucleus is unstable, it will undergo a beta decay (remember Rutherford, Chadwick, Geiger?), and become an element of next atomic number.
For instance, Lead-204 is created from short lived thallium-204.
Thallium-204 on capturing another neutron becomes lead-205, an isotope of lead.
This goes on till the isotope lead-208 is formed.
This lead-208 by the s-process or the r-process becomes lead-209, which quickly undergoes beta decay and becomes bismuth-209.
Voila!
The miracle of stellar and supernovae nucleosynthesis which requires no magic...
Just chemistry.
Isn't it so satisfying to know and understand the process of our Genesis?
I believe all class 7 and 8 science books should start with these topics just as the bible begins with Genesis.
There is something to be learnt from the Bible after all.
