I watch the television grabs and follow the news regularly. Of late, the news about the new government at Delhi has been of interest because, here's a bunch of well meaning people who has promised their people, at the hustings, to provide a corruption free government and not to repeat the mistakes of the earlier governments drawn from the hard core political parties. Here are my observations and on another story too:-
(a) The leader of the masses.
It's a tradition that once elected, one ceases to be the member of one's party especially, if one were
to become a member of the cabinet. The thought beneath such a noble idea is that a minister is
meant to look after the interests of the entire lot of people irrespective of their political affiliations.
When one's entrusted with such a huge responsibility, one's expected to shun narrow thoughts and
strive for the welfare of the people.
So, it was kind of sad to see one of the new ministers insisting upon the police to search a particular
house. He might have hard evidence against the house owner, but why can't he do what a normal
citizen is expected to do in the circumstances - report the matter to the police, have an FIR made and
ensure that the case is dealt with speedily so that justice is delivered. A 'Rhambo' act should be
shunned at all costs and a modicum of propriety is expected, however evil the protagonist is!
The Aam Aadmi Party needs to get its act together and should not let vendetta or quick fix solutions
make them commit error after error. Maturity and statesmanship are the need of the hour before the
people who'd elected it write its epitaph in disillusionment! The party needs to get educated about
the term, 'the leader of the masses'. And do not pick on the police, that's an important organ of the
government which would help it to govern.
(b) Suchitra Sen.
The beautiful Suchitra Sen has passed into the mist of time. I can never forget her character in the
Hindi movie, 'Andhi'. A graceful actress who's an epitome of beauty.
Her shying away from the limelight and the scrupulous manner in which she hid herself from the
public accentuates that famous saying, "Time erodes gratitude just as it does beauty".
She wanted her audience to remember her in her beautiful visage.......always!
RIP, Suchitra Sen. My humble prayers and may you find peace in eternity. Here's wishing that your
near and dear ones are able to cope with their loss.
Tailpiece.
1. Madhu, a friend of mine along with his family had dropped by after their little child's 'anna prashna' or the first meal at Guruvayur. The li'l one's just following this uncle of his without his knowledge!
2. My mom's first day on the treatment table. Sobhina and Sheena, the mother-daughter combination, have been able to make an impression on her by their efforts. Good show! And 27 more days to go!!
