Election cacophonics.

1. A Fizzled Meeting!

    When K Chandrasekhar Rao, the CM of Telangana, met Stalin, the DMK chief, at Madras nothing
    much was expected as outcome. KCR was canvasing for a third front minus the BJP and the
    Congress while Stalin bats for a front that's inclusive of the Congress!

    It was pretty clear that their approaches would never meet. Moreover, KCR has maintained a
    comfortable equation with Narendra Modi.

2. Modi vs. Mayawati.

    These are Mayawati's latest charges against Narendra Modi:-

        (a) BJP's women leaders are weary of sending their husbands to him because they fear that
             taking a leaf out of his book, he'd encourage them to follow suit and dump their wives.
        (b) He's a fraud OBC and therefore, knows nothing about the plight of the community.
        (c) When Dalits were being hounded out in the BJP-ruled states he'd not taken moral
              responsibility and resigned.

     Modi has given tit-for-tat replies for each of her charge. But the heat of their battle is on the rise.

3. Modi vs. Mamata Banerjee.

    Yesterday, Mamata Banerjee had refused permission for Amit Shah's chopper to land in
    Jadhavpur. Today, his mammoth rally in Calcutta was targeted by the TMC goons where the
    party's flags were torched, bricks were thrown at the rally and a stampede-like situation was being
    whipped up.

    Why is Mamata Banerjee playing spoilsport? Has she realised that her certain defeat is writ large
    on the wall, triggering the bad part of her personality? Sad!


Tailpiece.

We'd got up earlier than normal as Mini and Sanil were leaving for Ponni's house at Kollam. Sanil's smartness was once again on display, when the ever-in-demand coconut plucking boy was intercepted, before he set off for his work and had the coconuts plucked from the trees in our compound. It was a long trudge for the two of us to retrieve the nuts that lay all over.

Vipin didn't start his work as the requisite raw materials didn't fetch up from Ernakulam. Similarly, the truss work guys are waiting for the next installment of roofing sheets. Both are expected by 10 AM tomorrow morning!
