The second day of the 'Vaayana vaaram'.
One of the many activities was a function at the Central Jail, Poojappura for an interactive session with the inmates. For some unfortunate reason or the other they're languishing in prison - society looks at them with coloured eyes little realising that it was the very same society's ills that drove most of them to commit mistakes.
We all said a pledge - drafted by the Foundation - that we'd take up reading, improve the mindset through the knowledge achieved and never get to do anything wrong.
We'd lunch at the prison - made by the inmates - and I can assure you that the plateful of delicacies was very, very tasty.
Tailpiece.
The literacy initiatives begun for the inmates by the Foundation have really taken wings. The DGP, Mr. Alexander Jacob, a very learned gentleman and who recounted his association with my grandfather, during the library movement, had a fund of interesting anecdotes. The most apt person on the job!
