This is how the fifth columnists work.

Let me ask you a few questions and I answer on your behalf. If you have a different answer, do please tell.

What is Modi's biggest achievement as a basic reform?

Which fuel type of generation is maximum?
Ans. Thermal/Coal about 70% plus.

So what happens if a thermal plant shuts?

How can Thermal plants be shut?
Ans. Stop supply of coal.

How coal supply can be stopped?
Ans. Stop coal trains supplying coal or derail them, accidents.

That's the new toolkit, "Stop coal reaching thermal plants".

Got it?!

Courtesy. What'sApp.

My take.

Much of the print media has been cautioning us about a looming power shortage, over the last few days, though the Minister of Coal in the union cabinet has assured us that fears of such a situation are unfounded and deliberately made by certain sections to cause confusion.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a 10' past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10. Scooted, soon after breakfast to town to buy the mouthwash for Lekha - though couldn't get hold of Freshchlor and got chlorhexdine, instead and of course, bananas. The former hasn't fetched up in the local market, I gather. Dentists prefer the use of the former as it doesn't stain the dentures!

Pushpaakaran had fetched up by a half past 8, to do the biannual cleaning of The Quarterdeck.

Participated in the 565th version of the Aazhchakkoottam : "Moringa (Drumstick) - the international special food" by Dr Kamalasanan Pillai, Chairman, State Agri-Horti Society and Global Agri Expert from 1600 - 1730 hrs. The interaction post lecture was interesting. He, also, touched upon our 'biodiversity park' at Rameswaram that's gonna go on stream on 10 May.
