Two laptops and one mobile got raptured in our hostel last Thursday. They must have been really holy to disappear as all other holy men’s laptops and mobiles were left behind. This rapture had a bad effect on the left-behind-ones as the person responsible for the rapture was not known. The seers of UBS were very sure that the Lord was not responsible.
Yes, there
was a theft in the seminary. Holy men who don’t have time to think anything other than Barth and Christology were forced to sit and contemplate on the manner and circumstances under which the gadgets disappeared like my dear Sherlock Holmes. Even after hours of rumination we were left clueless and distraught.
I, as Hostel Secretary felt morally responsible and did my best to help two of my friends who have lost these valuable effects. Now the FIR is filed and the matter is in the hands of the policemen. Only time will tell whether they would be able to bust the mystery or not. My only wish is that our worst fear that one of the seminarian would have had a hand in this should be proved false or there is no worst shame than this for the Christian community who are called to be faithful.
