CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

-

Inspector Edmund Reid
Whitechapel H division,
Metropolitan police,
London.
November 9th 1888.

My Dear friend Edmund,
I’m pleased to inform you that I have come to a decision. We shallplay a little game. I fully intend to make this a mutually beneficial arrangement. If you win, which you sir, shall surely not, I will confess to you all my crimes. However if I win, which I surely shall, I want immunity. 

This day, the 9th of November 1888, I shall be committing my 5th and last murder. I intend to murder yet another woman, a certain Mary Jane Kelly.  She too like my other victims commits sacrilege on a daily basis, pollutes the very institution of marriage. I shall educate her. I shall wash her sins away in her own warm blood.

To make this little game of ours more interesting for me, I shall not change my modus operandi. 

I searched for this consummate fool of a woman in many of the shady back alleys of London. And being an arrant flirt as I am, I charmed her. She has already fallen in to my sinister web. Tonight as the Big Ben strikes 12, I shall lead her into one of London’s many deserted alleys. And then unleash my reign ofterror upon her. The rage within me will lash out. I will watch her squirm and beg for mercy. But her sin is grave. It deserves no mercy. The feeling of her hot blood all over my hands will feel like ecstasy. I will lacerate her abdomen repeatedly with a blunt knife and rip out her entrails. She shall pay for her sins. I will continue this till she croaks. It’s never fun after they are dead. 
But unlike my first four victims Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, I intend to make this one my final masterpiece. My Mona Lisa.
It shall instill terror in the hearts of all the jolly good men of this great nation of ours. The entire Queendom shall quake in its boots. My name shall go down in history as England’s single most elusive serial killer.
Make no mistake sir, for I shall succeed. I have always been two steps ahead of you. But to level the playing field, I shall give you a little hint. Think of it as a friendly gesture, an act of chivalry. “The mysterious case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. If this does not help then may Lord have mercy on your poor soul…

This is a fair wager. Let the games begin.

\Yours sincerely,



I GUESS YOU LOST AGAIN.

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
