I will keep my head shaved

It will certainly save

The trouble of shedding hair
Like skin of that reptile
That I have become,
Changing colours and emotions
As I put on faces to meet other faces
Without ever liking, particularly,
Either the face I meet
Or the face I put on.
Yet I have run out of people
To show sorrow for
Bereavement is my natural state
I am become death
And death becomes me.

No mandamus without demand for justice:

[Surendra Nath Das v. State of West Bengal, AIR 1951 Cal 396 , per Harries C.
J. and Banerjee, J.,] [Amalendu Roy Choudhuri v. Kailash Behari, 56 CWN 846,
per Bose, J. as the Chief Justice]

It has also been held by this Court that demand for justice by somebody else cannot
be relied upon by the petitioners
(Tarapada v. State of West Bengal. AIR 1955 Cal 506, per Chakravartti, C. J.
and Lahiri, J]

If the petitioner is successful, the proper order would be to issue a writ in the nature
of mandamus directing the respondents not to give effect to it. In that view of the
matter, the absence of any demand for justice seems to be fatal.
[Subodh Chandra Ghosh—vs—Major N.A.O. Callaghan and Others. AIR 1956
Cal 532=60 CWN 917]

It has been laid down by the appeal court that in a petition for mandamus the
petitioner must state his rights in the matter in question, his demand for justice and
the denial thereof. The demand for justice and the denial thereof is not merely a
technical point but a point of substance.
[Union of India v. Elbridgo Watson, (1951)20 ITR 400 (Cal)]

EXCEPTIONS:

But aforesaid rule has also been held to admit of certain exceptions, for example,
demand for justice is a matter of substance and not of mere form
(Commissioner of Police, Bombay v. Gordhandas Bhanji, [1952] 1 SCR 135]
Rabindra Nath Chakravarty v. State of West Bengal, AIR 1954 Cal 394 Das
and Debabrata Mookerjee JJ.)

No demand need be made when the respondents have placed themselves in a

position when they could not have complied with the demand of that they were
determined to pursue it as of set purpose and such demand would be a mere idle
ceremony
[Ashraf Ali Khan v. State of West Bengal AIR 1958 Cal 219, per Chakravartti. C.
J. and Guha, J]
(Ramphal Singh v. Govt. of State of Bihar, AIR 1954 Pat 235, per Ramaswamy
and Sinha, JJ.]
[Gadahar Ghosh—vs—State of West Bengal, AIR 1963 Cal 565 = 67 CWN
460]

The principle is well established that where a demand for justice would be useless,
the absence of it is not deemed to be fatal. In my opinion, this preliminary objection
is not fatal to this application, because a demand of justice would, under the
circumstances of this case, have been entirely futile.

1960 Cal 102
=64 CWN 134]

An undivided Hindu family is ordinarily joint not only in estate but in food and worship
but it is not necessary that a joint family should own joint family property.
[State of Maharashtra—vs—Narayan Rao Shyam Rao Deshmukh and Others
by a Bench Strength 3 Judgment of the Supreme Court in AIR 1985 SC 716 =
(1985) 2 SCC 321]

I am just a poor boy

Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family

I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages

I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer

And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...
