The script is changing!

The script on the actress' abduction and molestation case is changing. Actually, the trend was discernible when the new office bearers of 'Amma' had been installed - the elevation of Ganesh Kumar and Mukesh as Vice Presidents was indicative of the forthcoming trends.

Remember the press conference, a day after the incident where the duo had got into a fracas with the press trying to defend Dileep's high handedness?

So, Dileep has got back into Amma because a less attended executive committee meeting, today, has decided that he has to be reinstated! Will he become the treasurer, too, I wonder? Consider these:-

     (a) What stance will the actors take who'd recommended strong action against Dileep?
     (b) What about the actress' collective which had recommended stringent measures against him?
     (c) While everyone was of the view that wrong things were taking place within the Malayalam
           film industry, they had insisted on a cleansing of the system. Now, that process seems to have
           been given a quiet burial.
     (d) Have all of these been swept beneath the carpet in deference to the wishes of a 'caucus' that
           seems to be playing a role to get back the disgraced actor?
     (e) The television channels have increased the frequency of showing Dileep's movies and also
           transmit an overdose of songs picturised on him. Is it to create a favourable outlook among
           the general public playing up on the fact that its memory is short?

Mind you, the case is coming up for hearing in the Court, shortly.

It would be damn sad if the people among them - who'd recommended strict action against Dileep - buckle and not react, fearing the possible death knell of their careers?

It will be sad because the film industry is missing a great opportunity to cleanse itself off the dirt that has accumulated over the years! Sad!!

But if the new decision makers think that they can change public perception, they will bite the dust in due course because we refuse to believe that 'Pulsar Suni' had committed the crime on his own initiative! Dileep has to answer for his misdeeds. Period!!

And a final question to Mohanlal, Mukesh, Ganesh Kumar and the other office bearers of Amma. Why have you forgotten the agony that the young lady had undergone that evening? Would you've taken such a decision if your sister/ wife or daughter was subjected to such a heinous act?  


Tailpiece. 

We kicked off from Thiruvananthapuram at 7. A quick breakfast at Letha's at a half past 8 and lunch at my cousin's around 2 o'clock, took care of our gastric requirements. We could buy the grocery from the canteen and reached 'The Quarterdeck' by a half past 5. It, indeed, was a multifaceted trip in which we did everything that we had in mind!
