Open letter to belated Steve Jobs

Hello Steve,


I am fully convinced that you might have reached the ascribed Heavenly slot after your demise which was a moment of glumness for the entire world community. And nothing bars my vision to apply the surmise that the only place in the Aden would have been the shade of that proud 'Apple' tree, thus returning to it the forbidden apple that the dumb Eve had chomped off.


You were a celebrity by all measures but I must tell you, after your sudden fell, we in India had felt such a twang in the collective national heart that nobody, out of respect and solidarity, ate even a single apple for two weeks. This salient measure largely helped to bring down the demon of inflation from its perch because there was no demand for fruits as Blackberry users had announced their own plan to renounce berries at the same time. The fruit market was bombed with supply and thus the effect caused the horticulture production to be stayed bringing down the inflating figures.


Steve, how to tell you, but we miss you, yar. You didn't like India or as the media reports, but we don't care. Even 3/4ths of us don't like it either. But a political paradigm that was observable was that suddenly everybody started loving the Kashmir Valley. The reason, which looked inexplicable turned out to be very simple at the end. Kashmir is a den for the apple cultivation and India Tv regularly reported that it was Steve, who had been secretly supplying revenues in to valley to enhance the production and I know very well, that when Chumma Sharma, the IndiaTv anchor said those lines she was cent percent true to the grain of her employers: "Steve knew that poor Indians could not have afforded the designed 'Apples' and thus, instead of those, he benevolently supported the supply of 'Natural apples'.


Thus all the news declaiming your loath towards India were to gimmick into encouraging people to buy Blackberries and Nokias. We will be more proud of all your efforts when the truth would be brought out by the plea of Subramaniam Swami in the Supreme Court, only if Ramjethmalani, out of habit, doesn't become the public prosecutor against it. He, that old man who would never die unless of course declared to be doomed by the Supreme Court in some case, would never want any favors to be conferred to the Valley.


Steve, you have helped in many ways the students of our nation. First, obviously is the presence of 'Jobs' in your name that appeals to all the sections of students ranging from Engineering to Literature, and spanning every sorts of institutions from elite IITs to tatty IIPM. Then students have a role model to shout at the interviewers and also, to make assignments on leadership and advancements in tech and design. The IPads would run the parliament now when the proud owners, the MPs blush to shutterbugs with the devices smothered in their filthy arm-pits.


Though Shahrukh, who is an actor in the Hindi Cinema, and who would have definitely roped you in his movie Ra.One to publicize it to the gullets of the people, he can't do that now, sadly. An average movie buff would tell you that this could be the only reason one may feel to be happy about your demise. He, the ageing actor, would have made you look like a foolish robot or something that would have duped the audience about your intelligence.


Steve, I just wish that you enjoy the ambience there. But a couple of things I must warn you about. You would be hauled up by some corrupt officials who may be from Hell or somehow sneaked into Heavenly boundaries and who would try to persuade that goofy Dharamraj in registering your reincarnation into India. Not that I don't want you to born in my big-hearted India but only to put the matters straight, you would be regarded as a 'dumbo' 'Padhaku Chutia' or what not. And the shoddy technology won't let you find a place anywhere. Chinese mall will put you off. So better stay away or if you still insist, you must come here as a cricketer. Only that would do true justice to the acclamation you deserve.


Bye Steve.
Enjoy your apples.
With Love,
An Indian.
