Preparing to go to Delhi.

The entire day was spent in tying up loose ends for our impending trip to Delhi. And there's lots to do within a short span of time. People have been quite forthcoming in their offer of help and our Delhi calender is already booked with invites for breakfasts, lunches and dinners! Truly overwhelming and both Lekha and me are looking forward to meeting most, if not all, of our friends out there.

The News Updates.
1. Egypt has come under a new set of rulers and hope that the country is on its road to prosperity after the recent upheavals, thankfully without bloodbath, that usually gets associated with people's uprisings.

2. The 2G scam is getting larger and larger with every passing day. More and more people seem to be involved and one starts wondering as to whether all that we've heard on the subject is only a tip of the proverbial iceberg! Institutions have taken a beating and to revive the trust of the average citizen on them will definitely be a Herculean task!!

3. The revelations by K Sudhakaran, MP that he was witness to a Supreme Court judge taking a bribe at the Kerala House, New Delhi has sent shock waves amongst both, the judiciary and the political class. It's not something new for the common man because he'd always doubted the goings on till now and the spill has only confirmed his fears! Let's have many more of such 'spillages' so that the rot can be stemmed and the system revamped with clean people coming into public life.
