"Rough justice"
Mohammad Kamran, Water Works Road, Postha, Lalbagh, Dhaka
Thank you so much for providing such a thoughtful photograph, showing Quick Justice, in the back page of The Daily Star dated 08 Sept'03. A picture can definitely say more than a thousand words. Being the usual hardy soul that I am, I had a very good laugh when I saw justice being meted out to the pickpocket by being kicked by lawyer(s). Even now, I am laughing. The strong kick given by the tie-laced lawyer...it was really funny. Looks a lot like the Maradona that is in every Bengali mind, above age 28. The photographer shot the straight leg of the lawyer, showing the glossiness of the lawyer's left shoe as well as the exaltation, frustration, consternation, contemplation and irritation, not to mention the fervour in the face of the lawyer. He kicked his best, and hopefully, it was his last shot, for ever.I congratulate The Daily Star for having taken and printed such a picture. You do have a bunch of keen and alert photographers, who know exactly when to shoot and thus know their job. Congratulation to the editorial team as well. I bet the lawyer has seen himself in your reputed daily, and must be feeling a lot refreshed and rejuvenated. Well, every dog has his day.
