Thank you for joining us. On behalf of I-Spy TV, welcome to another episode of \u2018Behind the Scenes. The Real Truth!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I am your host, Askam Avery Dey, along with my cameraperson Kamerame Ray-Jebme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">Today, I have found my way into a secret meeting of the Kong Rest party for a discussion about their strategy to take on their biggest opposition the Vee Zay Fee<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I arrive at the scene undercover, and the first person I meet is the chess grandmaster Wishy Washy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d I ask him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">He turns with a start and slowly begins to smile, as he recognizes me. \u00a0(I was doing a sting on the appalling conditions for sportsmen in this country when I\u2019d met him\u2026 but that\u2019s another story)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cI could ask the same of you!\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">Almost panicking, I say, \u201cListen, competing with reality TV is tough. I need this scoop to keep up the viewership. Don\u2019t give me away!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">He smiles and nods his approval to keep my identity concealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cPlanning to get into politics?\u201d I ask, relaxing a little.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cNo. No.\u201d he says rolling his eyes \u201cI am helping them form their strategy.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cOh I see\u2026 you\u2019re here as a part of the \u2018think tank\u2019, that will help to understand the huge issues that the country faces, like inflation, poverty, lack of education and infrastructure?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cNo. I\u2019m here to give advice on Chess.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cChess?\u201d I ask him unbelievingly. \u201cChess?

Take a look around you and you will understand!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cFirstly, there\u2019s the king. He can move in any direction but only one square at a time. A little slow, but when you are as senior as him (in every way) you can hardly expect Usain Bolt! <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">He is perceived to be the most important piece in the game. Lose him and the game is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">There\u2019s a catch though. He\u2019s only a showpiece. And he\u2019s useful only when you can use him in conjunction with other pieces. By himself, he\u2019s pretty much running to save his life. A sitting duck!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I nod with understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cThen you see this piece here? It\u2019s called the Bishop. You can make his type out anytime. He\u2019s usually the tall, lanky chap, who announces the presence of the party in a forum. His demeanor ensures that he is usually among the first to make an aggressive move on behalf of the party. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">To start with, he looks like the quiet amicable sort of fellow, standing quietly to the side of the king, behind other pieces. Very easy to miss in the crowd. Don\u2019t be fooled by his sweet looks though. He can move diagonally up and down the board with impunity\u2026 as many squares as he wants. This makes him extremely tough to pin down. He usually functions as the spokesperson of the party. You press guys should know about this type. Ask him a question and watch him take the conversation off on a \u2018diagonal\u2019 tangent! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">These pieces often suffer from &#8216;a change of clothes for every briefing&#8217; disease or \u2018foot in the mouth\u2019 disease though, shooting off their views without the approval of the king. In such cases they are sacrificed and the other bishop comes into play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I know this type, I think to myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cNow we come to the Knight. These are the guys who are pretty much from the last (or is it lost) generation. They start off with the right intentions, but over six decades of ingraining our country\u2019s way of life, ensures that they get waylaid into doing what they do best. Making money! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">So, for every few steps that they take forward, they \u2018take some\u2019 on the side. They often walk into a trap in doing so and are sacrificed for the overall good (read \u2018saving face\u2019) of the party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cNext we have this short, squat piece. The Rook. This piece gives you the ability to approach anything sideways.\u00a0 They can also move up and down the board, but in a straight line. They are usually used for making direct upfront threats to the opposition and sidestepping issues of great importance with ease. Often, their sideways move (especially when used in conjunction with another Rook \u2013 where one defends, while the other attacks) has caught many an opponent off guard, especially when it comes to forming coalitions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">They are also used for a special move called the \u2018Castle\u2019 where they exchange places (well almost) with the king, to step upfront and bear the brunt of the attack from the opposition. These pieces are usually trusted with key portfolios like \u2018Railways\u2019 or \u2018Finance\u2019 or \u2018Leader of the House\u2019. They are usually looked upon as the last bastion of the king. Lose these guys and you\u2019re pretty much headed for defeat in the game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cThese little pieces are called the pawns. Trust me you don\u2019t want to be one, though if you want to rise up to being one of the better pieces, one of the ways is the ability to survive being a pawn. (The other ways being a. Born with Blue Blood, b.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\"> Born with Khandani Wealth &#8211; so you can buy your place there, or c. Being excellent at the f<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">ine art of sucking up) <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">The pawns are the pieces that can move only one square at a time, that too straight down the board. Once they\u2019re committed, they can\u2019t even step back. These poor souls are expendable in the game and are, pretty much, treated with disdain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">Their moment of glory \u2013 setting up an opposition piece for destruction by sacrificing themselves. Their dying prayer \u2013 \u2018Lord, next time please don\u2019t let me be born a pawn. Any other piece is fine, but not a pawn I beg you!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">The typical pawn would be seen at rallies bearing the brunt of the lathi charge while the other \u2018better\u2019 pieces watch and shake their heads saying \u2018This should not have happened\u2019 or the typical media quip by the Bishop \u2018He was a brave man. A dedicated party worker. Our hearts go out to his bereaved family tonight\u2026 Off the record, there\u2019s a party tonight. My place. The Who\u2019s Who will be there. Please come. Need the publicity.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cWhat about this piece?\u201d I ask, noticing that he\u2019s explained all the other pieces but one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cAh.\u201d He says with a gleam in his eye \u201cThis one. This is the Queen. The Crowning Glory. The Jewel in the Crown. She plays second fiddle to the king, but every one knows who holds the real power!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I suddenly feel enlightened. Quite a bit of this is making sense to me. But there are still some unanswered questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cOk. So how do these pieces manage to run the country?\u201d I ask with genuine curiosity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">He looks at me like I\u2019m from outer space.\u00a0 He says, \u201cWatch your mouth old man. You want to get thrown out of this room?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">He adds in a whisper \u201cThis part of the world has many Gods. They run the country! You think anyone here would be foolish enough to think that we, as mere mortals, could do anything to shape our destiny? It is written above and played out on earth. It is all your Karma.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">Realization dawns upon me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">To think, that the government was really in control of things? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">To think, that issues of national importance would be taken seriously by them? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">To think, that the progress and well-being of the nation was something close to their hearts? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">To think they even had a clue!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">What a fool I was!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I have got all the answers I need. What a scoop! I decide to head out to the studio and build my scathing, questioning, half-fact, half-conjecture, mostly <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">fiction capsule, to air on prime time tonight!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">But before I go, a thought strikes me (It happens! Rarely\u2026 but it happens!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cTell me&#8230;\u201d I ask, as I approach Wishy Washy again, \u201cIf the Kong Rest Party uses your services to plan their strategy, wouldn\u2019t the Vee Zay Fee also do the same?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">I mean, if they use someone who beat you in the past, wouldn\u2019t that mean that they could defeat the Kong Rest Party?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">Wishy Washy turns to me and says with a condescending smile <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\">\u201cAbey, Budwak!
