The news worth listening to!

There are always the good news and the bad news. While we need to live with the bad ones, the good ones help us to look at the world positively, the warts and the moles notwithstanding! So, here I go:-

   (a) No Rain Scenes!

         Rain scenes have always been an integral part of Tamil cinema but Kollywood (As the Tamil
         film industry is called) is now avoiding them amid a severe drought. Few are travelling abroad
         for rain or snow, with almost all depending on computer graphics! From small production
         houses to big firms, all say they feel guilty about approaching Metrowater with requests for
         50-100 tankers to create a flood or a tsunami. The focus is on rainwater harvesting and
         uploading videos on YouTube for the common public to learn. The television industry is also
         working according to the grim situation.

         That's the way to go Kollywood! Novel methods are the need of the hour to tide over the crisis
         and who else but the film industry can give leadership?

    (b) The Amity Saga.

          The Hindus have donated their land to the Muslims for a burial ground in Belarikhan village
          under Gosaiganj assembly constituency in Faizabad. The land has been a bone of contention
          between the two communities for years until now. The registered deed was signed by a local
          seer for 1.25 bissas of land along with eight other shareholders on 20 Jun to bury the dispute
          forever. "The land belonged to the Hindus as per records. It is beside a graveyard and some
          times, Muslims buried their dead on the land. There were disputes and tension but now, we've
          settled the matter," the seer added.

          Long live religious amity and may it pave the way for a lasting solution at Ayodhya, too!

    (c)  India's Best Police Station.

           Kalu police station in Rajasthan's Bikaner district has been adjudged the best in the country.
           The following factors were considered while ranking the performance viz:-

                  (i) Crime prevention.
                 (ii) Investigation of cases.
                (iii) Their disposal.
                (iv)  Detection.
                 (v)  Community policing.
                (vi)  Maintenance of law and order.
               (vii) 20% weightage given to the police station's infrastructure and
              (viii) Citizen feedback on performance of personnel posted.

            Heartiest congratulations to the Officer-in-charge and personnel of Kalu Police Station!


Tailpiece.

Saw the Mammootty movie, 'Unda' (Meaning shells) revolving around a Kerala Police team sent to the Maoist insurgents-infested, Chattisgarh for election duties. A movie that could have been reduced to a documentary has a great story, taut screenplay with fantastic acting by Mammootty, Renjith and the rest of the gang.
