(a) Apologies, Nirbhaya's Mom!
The Patiala House Court in New Delhi has stayed the hanging of the four rapists of Nirbhaya. The hanging that was scheduled for tomorrow has been put off. One felt bad to see the angst-ridden face of Nirbhaya's mother, outside the court, on hearing about yet another stay order and she didn't hide her feelings from the media, saying that the government and the court had let her down, yet again.
It has been seven years since the gruesome gang rape-cum-murder of Nirbhaya had taken place. I believe there is a lobby that's advising and abetting the convicts to put legal obstacles to delay their hangings to the extent feasible. What they achieve out of it cannot be understood. If it's true, may I just ask one question to each one of them, "Would you have lumped the delay in justice if such a gruesome act was committed on your mother/sister/wife/daughter or any relative, for that matter?
And I'm sure it would be a big NO! Then why the hell are you doing this? Those beasts don't have the right to live any longer, but having said that, does anyone think that they're having a peaceful time? Every delay must be stirring up the butterflies in their stomach thereby, raising the blood pressure.
I'm sure that there are many like me who share your angst, Nirbhaya's mom. Those beasts and their apologists don't have much time anyways - the four will meet their nemesis soon.
(b) A fine feedback from Kashmir.
This afternoon I was pleasantly surprised when my friend and course mate from Kashmir had called
me up. His daughter had undergone a rather serious medical intervention recently and is back home
and convalescing. She should be able to live a normal life - can do even back flips if she wants, says
the doctor - after a fortnight of rest! I could feel a palpable sense of relief from the doting father!
And as we discussed various things, we veered around the present conditions in Kashmir. He said,
"Rajeev, it's quite peaceful here after what has been a long time. Modi has done the right thing!"
And the naysayers have the audacity to ask for bringing back Arts 370 and 35A. Those guys are not
thinking towards the good of the country. To my mind, they should be tried for treason for spreading falsehoods and half truths: given suitable punishment without any delay!
And as we were in conversation, he told me as to how the security forces had tackled three terrorists not very far from where he resides! Felt nice!!
Tailpiece.
Had got up at a quarter past 5, gone through the chores and was out of the house a trifle after 6, for my walk. It was nice. Lekha had gone across to the town around a half past 9, to get a few of the utensils repaired.
Meanwhile, the PCI team had commenced their work by 10. Our maid was on leave and hence, I and the boys did a bit of cleanship before putting back things into their original places. The Faber rep, Majo, came by after lunch, to replace a fused light and to service the overhead chimney!
By a half past 5, all jobs were completed, payments handed over and everyone seen off. I could join Lekha in watering the grass patch and the plants.
