The Morning After

It so happens, as you must have already realised, that the epicentre of the conflagration lies in the path to my office and that I walk through the 7 Point Crossing at Park Circus every day. So yesterday morning when I was walking to work and saw a huge build up of Police forces, I knew there was some trouble boiling up. That it would lead to such proportions wherein the Army had to be called out was beyond anyone's foresight.

So knowing fully well that The 7 Point Crossing would be fortified, I headed back home last evening and came up the Army Contingent.

This morning that very same crossing that had been fortified by Policemen yesterday morning, then by a Violent Mob and finally by men in camouflage last night, was now besieged by the electronic media.

This part of the city seems to have settled down after the army enforced a curfew from 10pm to 6am this morning, but there still are police pickets on all street corners lying in wait to see that yesterday's madness is nipped way before it can mushroom into something beyond control.
