Had got up with the alarm, gone through the chores and were ready in time. Xavier came in after 9 but found that he needed the help of an understudy to go up to the terrace to shut down a valve on the waterline network - I, too, wasn't aware of it till date! - to stop the input into the geyser. They, also, took their time to fix the main switch board with the four screws that I'd insisted upon. My assessment of Xavier and I don't hesitate being brutally frank - far from being professionally competent, it took six visits to my home for him to fix a problematic geyser. Is addicted to liquor and smells of it right in the morning! Many a time I'd noticed him gaze into thin air trying to come to grips with the problem but what exacerbates the problem is that he does not get the bills of the purchases that he makes in the due course of repairs. Opaqueness in his dealings which will, eventually, go against him!
Preetha is not gonna come by for the next two days as the temple near her house is celebrating its annual festival, her son is fetching up from Thalasserry this evening and the entire family will be ganging up at her place this evening. She seemed to be excited about it and as Lekha put it, she was only physically present at 'The Quarterdeck' while her mind was away at her place!
The gentleman who had bought the ten cents of land near our house seems to be going about his plans of building his house meticulously and in right earnest - yesterday, the trees were cut and sent away in lorries as neatly chopped logs and today, the clearing is discernible where the building is gonna come up.
Tailpiece.
Now, what a shame?
The #MeToo movement has shot into prominence in Latin America.
A former Miss Costa Rica beauty queen has filed a complaint against the country's ex-President, Oscar Arias, 78, for sexually assaulting her in '15, adding to a growing number of women lodging accusations against the two-time President, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in negotiating an end to civil wars in Central America.
This was Yazmin Morales' version of the sordid incident when he'd forced himself on her at his San Jose home, after he'd contacted her on social media, "He grabbed me forcibly and then with one of his hands he touched my breasts over my clothes and kissed me against my will. I was in shock I didn't expect anything like this from someone so well known and someone I admired very much".
Anti-nuclear activist, Alexandra Arce was the first woman to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the President.
Shouldn't the personal conduct of an individual be taken into consideration while he/she is being considered for an award? It's the moot question!
