Missing!

Some time ago a notorious netizen Dr. Amit Sharma reemerged into the social scene after a long period of confinement in the throes of marital bliss. Although his return was an indication of turbulent times ahead, he was still welcomed by most friends without much protest.

Much to everyone's relief, the pain(ful) doctor soon gave up city life and moved to Farmville where he was assigned a small farm and some useless fallow land. With his magical touch and days of drudgery, this land soon bore fruit. The farms turned green, his bank balance soared and he went on to buy more land and build an expensive farmhouse. Gifts started arriving from greedy neighbours hoping for return gifts and soon his farm was full of cattle, horses and baby elephants.

Meanwhile Dr. Sharma continued to do some part time work as a doctor at John Hopkins. For a while he withstood the advancing years, and the strain of indoor and outdoor labor at the farm, night and day, followed by visits to the city for his part time work. Till a few days ago, when he went missing.

We published a couple of posts on this blog trying to lure Dr. Sharma out from oblivion. Given his long track record of never missing an opportunity of passing a sardonic comment at any written or spoken work by the author, we were sure that this would surely draw him out. However, his failure to place a single acerbic comment on these posts has been distressing and we believe that something may be seriously wrong.

Given the gravity of the matter, his friendly neighbour Dr. Deepta Ghate was requested for assistance. Dr. Ghate kindly consented to visit his farm despite the tremendous pressures of motherhood and managing her ( and her husband's) own vast and growing farms and cattle.

In the meanwhile, various rumours are floating around regarding Dr. Sharma's disappearance. Some say that the same is on account of his recently being publicly insulted by a friend who called him "A Good Man". Dr. Sharma did not take this comment too well as it seriously undermines his efforts towards building his impeccable reputation.

Another rumor attributes his disappearance to mis-management of visits by two friends. Both women apparently bumped into each other at his farm! This is however quite a deviation from his immaculate track record and can be ignored. Dr. Sharma has been known to have a One Track Mind and has never been known to go astray.

One theory also talks about a revolt by his farm animals. The animals were upset about being kept in large numbers in a constricted area, with a population density even higher than the Arthur Road Jail briefly inhabited by the legendary Shantaram (see picture). They even protested to various animal rights organizations. But voting rights of Facebook residents are yet uncertain. Due to the political ramifications being uncertain, no animal rights organizations have yet voiced support. It is believed that the animals may have decided to take the matter in their own paws.

While we await Dr. Ghate's return and definitive answers to Dr Sharma's disappearance, we request all you netizens to keep a watch out for Dr. Sharma and pass on any information (or rumours) that you may have on Dr. Sharma's whereabouts.
