Another hartal!

It was yet another 'hartal' today though without a formal announcement because of the High Court's latest directive that the calling of a hartal requires a minimum '3' day notice to be given to the general public to gear up to the difficulties and see how it was subverted by the concerned political party. So, it was said last evening that all the activities in the district will shut down while prayer meetings(?) would be conducted all over the state.

Two youth of the Congress were murdered by the CPM cadre at Periya in Kasaragod district.

Had got up a trifle after the alarm, gone through our chores and were ready well in time. The entire surrounding was absolutely quiet and almost no vehicle plied through the highway almost through the day except for a few two-wheelers and an odd light motor vehicle. Preetha, our maid, could not make it and my job at the nearby photostat shop, as well as at the post office, had to be postponed.

It was the phone calls that had kept us busy. My classmate, Anil(Roll no.322) lost his mother this morning. A fortnight back, he'd flown in to Thiruvananthapuram because his mom had been hospitalised following a heart attack. She was discharged about four days back and shifted to Anil's chechi's place at Vanchiyoor and he'd returned to Nakon Phanom in Thailand.

I remember the old lady to be full of life and she was fond of me; had visited us many a time. Will miss you amma. Rest in peace. My tears and prayers. 


Tailpiece.

Three Jaish-e-Muhammed(JeM) terrorists, including Kamran who was linked to the terror attack on the CRPF convoy were killed by the Indian security forces and four Indian Army personnel viz. Maj VS Dhoundiyal(Dehra Dun), Hav Sheo Ram(Jhunjhunu), Sep Ajay Kumar(Meerut) and Sep Hari Singh(Meerut) made the supreme sacrifice at Pulwama during the mopping up operations.
