Delhi at its worst, weatherwise!

For the last couple of days, Delhi has been fuming literally. With humidity around 70%, life has become unbearable. This is gonna be the pattern over the next two months covering the pre monsoon, monsoon periods and the met department has predicted that the monsoons would arrive here around 29 Jun. The sultry heat becomes unbearable and frankly, I have never been intimidated by the dry heat of the previous couple of months. One might find this to be paradoxical, coming as it is from a thoroughbred 'mallu' who's constantly exposed to such climate in the coastal state of Kerala. Anyways, there's no other alternative but to grin and bear it and so is the case with me.

Love being snuffed?
There has been an increase in the media coverage of young couples, in love and subsequently married, being driven to suicide because of parental/ societal disapproval. There are a lot many cases where close relatives of the couples have brutally ended such relationships as a part of retaining their family honour. I would like to believe that these are occasional aberrations and is not the general trend. I've three questions connected with such happenings and they are:-
(a) How can the family honour be retrieved once someone is killed?
(b) Is their love and commitment towards their young ones so shallow?
(c) Can the person who commits the ghastly crime ever think of leading a normal life, thereafter?
I suppose, these will remain a mystery to me, always.

Raavan
An unnecessary controversy seems to have erupted about this movie ever since Mr. Bachchan has said about 'deficiencies' in editing on the part of the director. One can understand the father's apprehensions over the success of his son's film, but what I fail to understand is that the filmgoing crowd has given a loud round of applause for his daughter-in-law's performance and he's not even acknowledged it. Wonder why?
To my mind, a movie is the artistic rendering of a story/event/personality and to that extent, the director has full freedom to execute his thoughts. By all means one is at liberty to say whether the finished product is good or bad, but to pointedly go after it, is indeed not the done thing. I must hasten to add that I've not seen the movie as yet.
