Over the last month I've followed the rather bizarre case of Anand Jon, with a kind of detached interest. For those of you not in the loop, the case is as follows:
Anand Jon, a desi, was educated at the Loyola College, Chennai, as Anand John Alexander.The guy, cool and suave seems to have been the hear throb of the small group of girls in his college at the point of time and revelled in their attention. His pictures from the past show a physically beautiful person, a Stud.
Migrating to the US and getting noticed as a fashion designer, he was talked about by the Page 3 press in India, as a guy who had made it in the land of Liberty. A while ago his world, despite rather vociferous protestations, by his sister Sanjana, fell apart, when he was accused of raping minor girls, who went to him as fashion aspirants. Anand Jon has since been sentenced to 59 years in prison and faces a rather a bleak future.
Sanjana, over the last few days has been drumming up support for her brother, saying that he has been framed by a racist US administration. In the event that authorities in the US of A are racist, did it take these folk this long to comprehend the truth and if they did why did they continue to hang on in the US Of A. Why do people throw their future away, in moments of madness, is a question, that will always intrigue me, and I have no answer as yet.
God is mysterious and I guess one of his ways is not to mix beauty & brains!
