Inspector Karamchand: Prologue

A new thriller series

Prologue

No. This is not the comeback series of Pankaj Kapoor after his long break from TV, though for sure he is contemplating one. This is also not the launch of his son Shahid Kapur into the high world of the telly. His career is doing too good for that, now that he is finally over his addiction to the social networking site, bebo.com.

This is the story of a patriotic jasoos from our much maligned IB, a rare babu who's trying desperately, to help our countrymen from yet another terrorist attack. Now, because he was so Deolesque in his patriotism, in typical filmi style, he was shifted out of a secret branch of IB that thought it was safe from the hands of netalog. Well netalog ke haath bahut lambe hote hain. That was something Karamchand learned the hard way, as he rued the day he had a heated discussion with a pulisman investigating the latest terrorist attack in Mumbai. Apparently, the Chief Minister, who was afraid hs bhaanje and saale would all be caught napping after gourging on samose if the attack was investigated well, had ordered his corrupt puliswaale to come up with some ingenious plan. So the commissioner of pulis secretly commissioned a wellknown fiction writer to author ten 1000 page dossiers on the involvement of 'elements' in Pakistan in the dastardly act and sent them off to the Home Ministry to buy time.

Anyhow, here he was, posted in a new IB cell that was serving the purposes of democracy well. They have hit upon a brilliant plan to nab the terrorists who keep commiting murder in India. They will wait until the next attack, so they can follow the trails. Meanwhile they keep him busy typing away hundreds of 'analysis' notes on what the son of politicians of opposition parties were upto, for the ruling party president to review in her weekly meetings. But our hero is also up to some plan. He secretly manged to slip his 3G compatible Nokia E71 into the lid of his box size 1995model nokia phone. Now every few hours a day, he secretly surfs the net looking for leads on the next possible attack. How good is the team he secretly put in place just for this eventuality? Can he prevent the next big attack without the compromised IB moles stopping him in his tracks?...

Inspector Karamchand will follow after a few days when I take a break from not working.
