Musings over the weekend.

1. A comatose Sukh Ram arises.

Can't help but laugh at the lawyer's plight who'd told in court that the corrupt Sukh Ram could not be produced in court because he was comatose which was immediately demolished by the doctors attending the former minister. And the result - Sukh Ram is finally in jail. For what duration is anyone's guess but at least one can satisfy with the thought that there's no escape from the law howsoever mighty one might be. The judiciary has done it again which deserves kudos. But what happens to the lawyer who lied before the court?



2. A white blanket.

Frames of a snow clad Kashmir and the news about the Jammu - Srinagar highway being blocked due to continuous and heavy snowfall were in the air. On a very personal level, seeing snow gives me excitement and I always feel that the people there must be enjoying the new, though, temporary environment. I'm also aware of stories and incidents that show that a fall on the ice can cause grievous injuries.

Probably, after seeing a lot of movies in which the hero(usually, overclothed) and the heroine(as always, ridiculously underclothed) frolic over ice and generally have a whale of a time, the romantic aspect of snowfall has rubbed off on me despite the fact that I used to abhor the Delhi cold!

Yet another example to show that certain things are simply good from far!



3. Have we backtracked?

There's this news that's trickling in that the defence team is slated to go on its China visit after pruning down the name of the IAF man from Arunachal Pradesh. If you remember, his visa was denied by the chinese.

I was among the many who'd felt happy when the government had called off the visit in retaliation to the chinese pettiness. But what now? Have they got away yet again by their browbeating? Sad!
