A Postmodern Celebration of Fragmentation (of Patella)

This is to inform all admirers of the versatile genius Muktiprakash Roy that he has recently (14 July, 2008) accomplished an almost Humayunish feat by falling from stairs and experienced a fragmentation of right patella. The fall, which could have been a tragic one, was, still, due to hamartia, i.e. he had slippers on, which, as their name suggests, have a propensity to slip. Thus, his slippers slipped on the stairs, made slippery all the more by the rainwater running down them. Perhaps there was hubris as well, since the almost-tragic hero had thought conceitedly that he could tackle such a hostile consolidation of fatal forces against him. So, having undergone an operation on 15 July, he now rests at his own Dwaipayan, like Duryodhan, with a postmodern smile of defiance on his chubby face.
