Nepal's sad hour.

1. To my mind nature has been unduly harsh on Nepal as the devastating earthquake and its aftershocks have left behind a trail of devastation and unimaginable misery. The official count of the dead is over 5,000 while the actual number could be much beyond that. The Indian government has provided immediate relief like a good neighbour and the Indian Air Force has made numerous sorties on relief missions to provide succour to the suffering people.

2. It's my fervent hope that Nepal gets back to normalcy at the earliest and the quality of life raised to even better standards.

3. My humble prayers and tears to the unfortunate many who'd lost their lives. Here's wishing that their near and dear ones are able to tide over these stressful times.

Ramgopal Varma's unwanted jibe.

4. The loudmouthed director of the Hindi movies, Ramgopal Varma, has done it again. After viewing Mani Ratnam's latest movie,  'O Kaadal Kanmani', while lauding Dulquar Salman's acting prowess ridiculed his dad, Mammootty, saying that he can't act for nuts and must take acting lessons from his son! He went on to tweet a few more unsavoury things prompting the superstar's legions of followers to react angrily on the social media. The blighter quickly tweeted his apology with the rider that he'd the right to voice his opinions and that he stood by his opinion.  He continues to face the wrath of the actor's fans.

5. The man is not new to controversies but the timing of his latest jibe brings about more questions than answers like:-

  (a) why is he rattled with Mammootty?
  (b) or is it his Mohanlal loyalty prompting him to do so?


Tailpiece.

Talking about fundamental rights,  it was amusing to note the argument put forth by a Malayalee, in court, during the recent bar controversy that his fundamental right to drink was being infringed upon by the closure of the bars. The court clearly opined that there was no such right provided in the Constitution!

Real warped thinking on the part of the mallu!

PS.

We'd returned ashore by a half past 9 after a day's delightful on board experience and breakfast and reached home by lunctime. Wasn't mom thrilled to see us? Meanwhile, Sanil, Minni and Ammu had got Raj Nivas back to its original clean standards!
