Where’s the party tonight? The legal order to strip clothing from cars has left the 
squashed plums inside struggling to cover their modesty or should we say ’embarrassment’! The ‘week long’ smack on the face of merry-makers was harder than kissing a freight train!
The sudden move has finally allowed light to cross the barrier that filtered it in a manner so as to nullify visibility. It is nothing less than shining a 1000 watt halogen in a rat hole…watching them squeak with shame, rightly explaining the objection at times.
Numerous justifications were laid out to avoid the skirts from being lifted. Firstly from protection for the feminine class of the society who might be teased and troubled…to the security of the power class who might be freaked as well…”Boom! We hate governance and rusted ideologies and you shall repay!”
Whatever may be the reason, the shades served as a cloak of invisibility and uplifting the same has resulted in the lot lacking confidence to shy away from the eyes of the general public. The bad and rather terrible effects of vanquishing darkness and security from four-wheelers has left a ripple streaming throughout the city and exposed the sad state of affairs that the ‘cooler’ section of the society are left with. All of a sudden, the hip and punk class has their faces buried like ostriches.
The ‘beer canners’ bottled inside the four doors with their ‘better halves’ are the worst sufferers as the government’s directive is a flat five finger death punch on the age old…’discovering self, discovering life’. What do you discover when everyone is staring at in a lecherous manner?
The long chain of cars aligned along the stretch of Golf Link and also in the nooks and corners of Upper Shillong have reduced to a bare minimum. With films being stripped, the cars now have to say no to roads and hide in the serenity of thicker bushes.
This move, interestingly, has definitely been a bad move in public interest. The slam will echo through ages. We will no longer have anyone driving in their bedroom attire nor shedding clothes feeling the heat inside. Chubby young drivers at times with school uniforms can no longer boss around along with the ‘rapidly urbanised’ drivers who professionally hold the wheel with one hand and the can with the other. The impact will be more severe than anticipated.
Day long honeymoons will come to a stop and underage maturity will be shown the door.
This will hit hard on the ‘breeding season’ of College weeks and month celebrations not to forget the cult section of this ravaged area that blare music and perform for the onlookers rather than enjoying tunes themselves. The young blood will finally reach home earlier than expected as the liberties are more or less curtailed.
Serious issues of the society like underage drinking, addiction, teenage pregnancy and a lot more might also find being addressed together with the removal of shades for security reasons.
Consequences as such are detrimental for the development of humans! We have kids not drinking, we have couples not experimenting, we have no parties on a small scale…these are real bad times…teenagers are finished!
The final nail in the coffin would be when the alternative ‘leaf arrangement’ in the form of netted curtains and screens will also be done with, thus exposing full on!
Adding to this, officials vey soon will have their share of modesty ravaged as scraping the shades will not enable government vehicles to be used for shopping sprees, for attending social gathering and for completing ‘school duties’.
Between the drinks and subtle things, we are all sorry for the loss that is being encountered but…”Amigo, you have just been rumbled!”
