The triple talaq bill.

It was with reluctance that we both had got up in the morning. A visit to the rest room sometime during the early hours of the morning and the nip in the morning air made it so. We went through our chores and were ready on time. The breakfast consisted of idlis - I was having it after a long time thanks to my illness - and chutney.

Lekha was ready soon, in her Sunday best, and was off to Raju-Bindu's house, next door, along with Asha to attend their older daughter's engagement ceremony. She'd returned after lunch from there.

Lunch was again different from the last couple of months as a fish curry was added to the dishes served and Preetha had given it her heart and soul; ate myself silly!


Tailpiece.

1. It was the day the Triple talaq bill was taken up in the Lok Sabha for discussion. At the end of the deliberations, the opposition staged a walkout but the bill was passed thanks to the majority of the NDA, in the house. The Congress, along with 10 other parties, abstained from the voting. The Biju Janata Dal had voted against the bill, after discussions.

2. Does it give the trend of the opposition line up before the general elections, I wonder?
