Epitaph
The National Gossiper
26th October 2067
Infamous blogger, noted pseudo intellectual and failed filmmaker Tamal Kumar Sen's dead body was recovered from his apartment yesterday. He was 85. His food delivery service reported suspicious inactivity in his home when he had not recieved his meals in almost a week. The Police officers broke into his home to find him lying dead in his Lazyboy Xtreme couch in front of his 42 inch plasma tv. Autopsy reported that he had choked on two chunks of the now illegal Ferrero Rocher chocolate. His drab living conditions might have contributed to his ill health.
File report- Mr Sen had been an active blogger and an avid film fanatic for years. He also had been a self proclaimed fan of mangas and comics. He attained intellectual stagnation before the age of 23 and got stuck in a never ending loop of procrastination. During his younger years he constantly failed to achieve goals set by himself and celebrated when he achieved mediocrity. His filmmaking career came to an end when his debut feature film premiere was cut short. Viewers banded together and beat him up, kicking him out of the theatre. All prints of that film has since been burned. On being asked what he thought about the reaction of his audience, he had this to say- my next film will make them change their mind. Many people's wishes came true, when his attempts at making another film never materialised. Later the film gained notoriety as an unofficial but widely accepted bible of mistakes that can be made while making a film. Interestingly, his screen name was the solitudinarian. The loner. He accurately reflected this in his own life. In his own words, he once described himself as the real life Major Major from Catch 22( Some people are born into mediocrity. Other people work to achieve it. I , like Major Major am both). He will not be remembered.
This has been a paid news report.
Dont worry folks. Just my regular morbid humour at work.
