Connecting Nothing With Nothing

I have head from a very reliable source that Major Irshad is happy to learn that his resignation from the membership of the Managing Committee has not been accepted - yet. He is gleefully telling everyone who will lend him his ears that he has received a call from Above High - from Khalid Sultan HIMSELF - to come and see him on Monday when the managing Committee is going to hold its meeting.

Some from the Core Group tried, last night, to talk him out of his visit with Khalid Sultan but he is bent upon going back, no matter what. He was told by those who were trying to convince him, in vain, that he was better off staying out as he had already resigned from a seat for which he was not even qualified to begin with as he was no longer a member of the society.

But he is riding a high horse at this point and won't listen to anything sensible.

He is anxious to join the herd, from whom he had self-exiled himself, wishing that Khalid Sultan will apologise for not defending him against verbal and personal attacks of Dr Zafar Chaudhry in the previous meeting.

But he was not sure how he will explain his two other reasons for resigning.

It reminds me T. S. Eliot's great poem The Wasteland in which he talks about "Connecting nothing with nothing".

On the other hand, the Core Group has fired off another salvo - a deadly one. They deposited their letter with Society office yesterday to make sure it greets Khalid Sultan and his camp when they take their seats for the meeting on Monday.
