The day had begun with tremendous enthusiasm charging the atmosphere. Everyone wanted to be part of the 'Run Kerala Run' event that was the curtain raiser for the National Games, commencing from 31 Jan since every district was conducting its own 'run' with its celebrities, at 1030h. Sachin Tendulkar set the event going at the state's capital, in Thiruvananthapuram.
And the whole of Kerala ran at 1030h! Participation was on massive proportions and the driver of the rick that I'd hired much later in the day, was sporting a red coloured visor issued to the participants on the occasion. Politicians, film actors, people from almost all conceivable vocations had participated, in the colourful event, giving the impression that Kerala had neither friends nor foes among its population.
It's my fond hope that the National Games goes through flawlessly so that everyone goes back with good memories of an efficiently run event of a high voltage caliber! And also, hopefully, that there are no corruption charges against the conducting authority!! May the sports personalities excel in their events by their tremendous performances!!!

The run up to the Delhi elections has begun to acquire the zing and the heat with Kiran Bedi being projected as the BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate. The fallout has been instantaneous:-
- Kejriwal invites Bedi for a public debate covered by the media to which the latter's retort
was that she wouldn't during the run up to the elections but afterwards, on the floor of the
Assembly. We mustn't forget that Bedi and Kejriwal had commenced their political aspirations
by joining Anna Hazare's cleanse India from political corruption campaign before they fell out.
- The rumblings of dissatisfaction in the Delhi unit of the BJP, by the chief ministerial aspirants,
for being thrust with an outsider like Kiran Bedi! How it's gonna affect the party's final showing
is for the psephologists to guess!
- The Congress seems to be no great an adversary and they seem to have conceded defeat when
their ex-CM has said that the party will lend support to Kejriwal's AAP.
- Kejriwal's utterances are audacious without the backing of that essential commodity, the truth!
He'd have been the chief minister now and there would have been no elections, had it not been
for his prime ministerial ambitions!
It's gonna be an interesting battle for the ballots! May the best team win!!
Tailpiece.
Mom's discomfort for the last couple of days has been due to the intake of a different genre of the 'Revital'. The medicine was withdrawn forthwith and she's back to normal! A mistake that could have been avoided but had gone by the pharmacist's advise notwithstanding the warning by my sixth sense!!
