1. The Indian cricket team's woes.
Nemesis has caught up with the Indian cricket team. Its pathetic showing in the first two tests against England doesn't have to be retold. A spate of injuries have made certain key players unavailable. And mind you, all thes guys were active on the IPL format of the game and are suffering from sheer fatigue of too much cricket.
A sad case of greed for money and glamour overtaking national commitments. The BCCI needs to be hauled over burning coal alongwith the unfit players!
2. Ex-minister R Balakrishna Pillai out of jail.
He was found guilty on the infamous 'Edamalayar case' for having caused a loss to the exchequer by a decison, of his, as the then power minister. In fact, the current opposition leader VS Achuthanandan is credited to have brought him to book.
Incidentally, R Balakrishna Pillai's son is a minister in the present UDF cabinet. The shamelessness with which he's been shifted into a '5 star private hospital' citing health reasons needs to be condemned all round. It's a clear example of people with power and pelf cocking a snook at the country's judiciary and for that singular reason, should be condemned and the gentleman sent back to jail, where he rightfully belongs!
