A fatal assault!

It's a shocking story!

Three students of the Infant Jesus Engineering College at the sleepy hamlet of Vallanadu in the district of Tuticorin of Tamilnadu had chased and hacked their principal to death on the college campus. The savages - I can't think of any other adjective to define them - who'd committed the inexcusable crime were:-

    (a) P Pichaikannan  21  Fourth year Aeronautical Engineering student.
    (b) M Prabaharan   21  Fourth year Civil Engineering student and
    (c) G Danish           22  Fourth year Civil Engineering student.

The Principal was walking towards his office, when the guys had chased him and mercilessly hacked him with the sickles that they'd carried for the purpose. After committing the crime, they did make an effort to flee but the other students and a few members of the staff apprehended and handed them over to the police. The time of the crime - around a half past 8, in the morning!

And what was the reason? Pitchaikannan was suspended from the college, a couple of days ago, on the grounds of ragging. He couldn't take the 'humiliation'(?) and had embarked on this dastardly act, with the support of his friends!

My take.

What a way to tackle one's mistake? Yet another example of monsters being created and the fault, unquestionably, is attributable to the parents. Right values and respect for fellow human beings, respect for the law and above all, respect for the teacher should have been imbibed from their homes - ingrained into them by the parents!

A fast track court must try these guys and punish them without any delay. And no covering of their heads with black hoods while being paraded because the people must have a glimpse of the rotten guys!

My humble prayer for the departed soul, wishing that god gives his near and dear ones the strength to tide over their irreparable loss and trying times!


Tailpiece.

I'd three visitors at my workplace today - the first two were my seniors while the third and last happened to be my classmate. They'd come for assistance and I was happy that I could send all of them back satisfied, with their tasks accomplished.

Couldn't help but notice as to how time had taken its toll on my seniors. Both of them have their children doing well abroad and consequently, have access to the best of things thanks to their doting offspring. And in these days of I-pads, swanky cellphones and electronic diaries it was interesting to watch them using their small pocket diaries to note down my contact numbers.

.....Some things never change, huh?
