Learning from mistakes doesn't seem to be in our DNA.

My observations of the current happenings tell me that many of us do not learn from our mistakes. Without much ado, here I go:-

 (a) The LDF Boycott of the Chief Minister.

       The LDF is at it again. They're hell bent on boycotting the chief minister for his 'corrupt' ways.
       Today's violent incidents - involving the LDF workers and the police, leaving many injured - at
       Irinjalakuda and Kodungalloor of Thrissur district couldn't deter the CM from taking part in the
       programmes.

       Over the coming days, the push and shove are only going to get worse and the mob could do
       worse if not checked. Wonder why the leadership doesn't take a note of the happenings
       and persuade the cadre to execute their dissatisfaction peacefully? Otherwise, the upper hand
       they seem to have, by virtue of a recently conducted poll, to form the next government, will be
       frittered away giving way to a sympathy wave for the UDF!

       Violence and negative actions can never win friends that translate into votes!

  (b) The Ongoing Drama at the JNU.

        Consider the activities that are currently under way:-
              (i) The Delhi High Court has asked the five students, who've been absconding for over a                           week, to surrender to the police to facilitate speedy investigation.
             (ii) The five have refused to appear before the university probe panel saying that they've
                   no faith in the varsity. Since when have the accused - that too for anti-national
                   posturing - started getting such options?
            (iii) The issue is being taken up for discussion in the Rajya Sabha where the ruling members
                   are in a minority.
            (iv) Rahul Gandhi and gang want a legislation that will safeguard the 'right to dissent in
                   campuses'.

         The truth is the casualty by the hurling of half truths and innuendos. But what's being achieved
         is that yet another Parliament session seems to be headed for a logjam.

         Come on, Rahul Gandhi and the so called youth brigade, you need to set an example to the
         rest that your brand of politics is different from that of your predecessors in that you strive
         for the nation's good, always and every time.

         The people of India would like to know what your USP is other than your genetic inheritance!

   (c) The Jats are backing off?

         Realising that their efforts to get themselves notified as OBCs are not gonna bear fruit
         simply because of its flaw, the Jats have decided to call off their agitation. They've said that
         they'd resume it at a later date after taking all aspects into account.

         And now, how about making good the damages caused even though you can't bring back
         the dead to life?


Tailpiece.

With everyone taking up cudgels against the establishment, I'm beginning to wonder as to whether there's a concerted effort to run the country down in the eyes of the outside world.
