Seen here, heard there.........

1. Toilets - a must in all schools.

The Kerala government has decided that all the schools in the state must have toilets, in the premises, for the students. Thankfully, wisdom has dawned at this late stage and it's one's fond hope that the drive doesn't lose steam in the coming days after the initial brouhaha. What must be seriously asked is as to how these schools were established, in the first place, without insisting upon this primary requirement?

2. The attack in London.

Lt Gen(Retd) KS Brar was attacked by unknown persons - apologists of the redundant Khalistan movement, in all probability - in London and was left wounded. Thankfully, the old man has come out of it without serious damages. Intelligence agencies are trying to ascertain as to whether it's a precursor to the revival of terrorism in Punjab. 

But what needs to be stopped forthwith is the construction of a three floor structure adjacent to the Akal Takht, in the Golden Temple, termed 'shaheed ganj' attempting to glorify Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his cohorts. If not, it will be a grave injustice to many of the soldiers(who fought against all odds with heavy constraints imposed upon them on the use of weapons) and civilians(used as human shields by the inhuman and unscrupulous terrorists) who lost their lives in Operation Bluestar of Jun '84 while restoring the sanctity of the ultimate temple of worship of the sikhs.

3. India out of the T20 World Cup.

India has been rendered out of the reckoning in the ongoing T20 World Cup matches in Sri Lanka eventhough it had thrashed Pakistan in its last league match. I'd attribute it to Dame Luck not being on our side. Regarding the ultimate winner of the cup, may the best team win!

And for the millions of crazy fans of the game in our country, they do not have to crowd around television sets anymore and can work to raise productivity instead!
