The intolerant.
A young dalit had died and his body has been lying in the mortuary of a hospital in Pathanamthitta for the last eight days. And the reason for this inordinate delay in performing his last rites - the church, that he's a part of, has refused to go through the full rituals before burial because he was not a regular churchgoer!
And I thought the Church was always compassionate!!
The compassionate.
It's the first of its kind in the state - the inauguration of a 'kidney bank' which will be supported by 'kidney donation centres' in each of the 14 district headquarters. The donors will register their names in these units and the family of the receiver, in return, promises and registers a donor from amongst them to pass on the kindness received by them to the society.
A truly noble as well as a novel idea!!
The mediator.
Impromptu settlement courts are going to dot the countryside which will have respectable people overseeing resolution of disputes, amongst people, outside the ambit of the judiciary where cases have taken years to be settled thanks to being overburdened. Actually, the PN Panicker Foundation under the able guidance of Justice VR Krishna Iyer had pioneered in this field to bring about a 'litigation free' panchayat in Kazhakootam.
A fond hope that the usually aggressive Malayalee learns to forgive and forget!!
The push to win at all costs.
The annual school cultural festival is right now on in full swing at Kottayam. At the end of the festival, the most talented boy and girl are awarded the 'kalaprathibha' and 'kalathilakom' titles, which open a whole new world for the winners. Hence the competition gets vitiated as parents enter into disputes on perceived wrongdoings on their children by the judges and towards the run up to the finals this year, there was a bizarre case of one of the judges slapping the mother of a child! I remember one of my aunts telling her son years back, when he did not make it in the finals, that the winner had got the results fudged by his parents in connivance with the judjes. I was aghast, because the kid had to be taught to lose graciously with the right advice from the parents and instead, my maasi was poisoning his young mind.
If I were to conduct this event, I'd insist on keeping the parents away from the festival.
It's my fond hope that this year the results would be above board!!
The paradoxical tailpiece.
The wife beater diplomat, Anil Verma, is being let off lightly - seemingly so - by the MEA headed by a lady and that too, a mallu!!
