There went the Morgans

The blogs could challenge the Russians because of the railroad services and information that the latter had once sourced from railroad companies.

The Russians owed many favours, no one went to Russia to settle those favours. In fact, most corporations were quite thankful for the muddled White House activities once Russia invaded Ukraine and western firms could leave Russia.

The excuse that one could use a pen to write a love note as well as a death verdict (we were discussing railway usage during the Nazi Holocaust transportation) was lost when the then friend/later bf/now spouse lent his notebook to Antara during Postgrad 1 at Jadavpur University, in 2000. 

Antara had missed a few classes and wanted to catch up, she found the last page of the notebook had a love poem, seemingly meant for her.

There went the Morgans, everyone understood.

That railway services had been used in the vilest way, during humanity's most wretched moment, against that we were being offered BoB/Base Office Berlin.

Antara wouldn't have gotten interested in the guy but that poem somehow changed her.

To Anjali's later inquiries, Antara had said, "I was always travelling on trains, sitting for seven-eight-nine hours on the same seat, hardly any food, that chap's family was based closer to Kolkata, in case I had to work there."

Anjali never discussed the matter further.

There were individuals like Antara, what they wouldn't do for railroad companies!

Why didn't Antara ask her parents to move to Kolkata suburbs, if the city was too expensive for a retired couple like Ajit-Anjali?

Why did she consider Ajit as "lacking the courage to assess danger levels",

Anjali as "always the rank outsider despite excellent information",

and the sibling "whose potential would never be available to me"?

The 'minders' had felt that 'set patterns' had been imposed on them by Global Communists, even when it didn't serve them. 

Antara had understood that the central problem, the White House, couldn't be reinvented, much like the proverbial wheel, no matter how Chinese-influenced it had become. 

So Antara took a chance in 2000, could anyone in the world (in the present day) say that fresh, new beginnings didn't take place in their lives in the last two decades? 

That made the likes of Antara different, their quiet ability to change everyone's lives for the better.

Antara's ability to create these changes had no effect on anyone around her.

Antara couldn't believe that her best friend in school wouldn't study Arts or Commerce, what had indicated that she was a computer whiz in a school that had no computers till the Class of 1995 completed high school?

The sibling wanted mean and conspiring small towns, then why did she create such a frantic and explosive environment at home, only to be a married wife in other small towns?

The Alamo Girl wanted an arranged marriage with a physician, then why be friends with Antara? Why scream, "Liberty, liberty" and run down the streets around Park Circus when the Monsoon Girl was away for a few days? "Wow, gulping down the fresh air", the Alamo Girl had said, because the Monsoon Girl as a hostel mate was so restrictive?

And the Paying Guest girls, over the two decades after 9/11, it didn't occur to you that you ought to have elaborate FB/social media profiles, replete with photos, so that when Antara got isolated from 2015, you could see her through? You still didn't understand what you meant to the world, just transacting through that pattern/UPI and exchanging Whatsapp messages, that's all you had ever desired?

We were criticising because the above-mentioned were successful people. 

There was no proof that any Agency favourite in the US or her career had adversely affected them. 

They were not fearful, they didn't encounter any crisis that made them reach out to Antara. 

They were different from the 'minders', who were stricken with challenges, trying to preserve the semblance of an 'order', let alone a global order.

No one liked disorder or anarchy, how would you earn a living, complete your tasks? 

They used the allusions and blogs, Antara didn't have time for writing Turkish obituaries, the sinking of the RMS Titanic created a Communism that couldn't run amok, without safeguards.

Thus, if Antara's relatives and acquaintances had not faced any severity from the Agency, they had received information regarding her from November 2012 to February 2013. 

It had implied that score-settling was to be attempted about NSDAP war criminals who were hanged at Nuremberg. 

With such an argument they agreed, which meant they either agreed that 

i. NSDAP honchos were not war criminals,

ii. or NSDAP honchos should have gotten away despite being war criminals,

iii. and a girl like Antara would be punished for an international military tribunal from the late-1940s.

This was official, the stance of Antara's relatives and acquaintances when it came to the Nuremberg Trials, it wouldn't change.

There was hardly any WWII family in the United States that didn't change its name or identity as the decades passed, such was the shame and humiliation they faced from the Communist troublemakers.

Most of them returned to the US military during the War on Terror, why didn't you figure out their WWII identities and histories instead of worrying how others spend their time?
