1. What's wrong with the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un? He seems to be smarting for a fight with the US and Japan. The firing of yet another ballistic missile over Japan is outright provocation after the UN sanctions that have been announced against that country. It's like testing the patience of the US and Japan and cocking a snook at the world at large.
Has he gone out of his mind? Is he looking for a hit back but then, what's he gonna achieve? He must concentrate on the well being of his own country because he's not gonna achieve anything by being aggressive with the others. China, as well as Russia, seem to be at a loss about taking a credible and appropriate stand against North Korea.
Or is he nearing his end? Is this the death knell that's sounding? Let not the poor North Korean people suffer for their leader's megalomania!
2. What's the mechanics of the daily regulation of fuel oil pricing by the oil companies in our country? The fuel prices have touched a new high and the government refuses to interfere. The mechanism was justified, at its inception, saying that the savings could be passed on to the consumer without any delay in case of a lowering of the prices.
It's a well known fact that it was on account of the state governments' insistence on keeping 'oil' away from the purview of the GST that the prevalent regime has continued. As per the existing system, both the central and the state governments levy taxes on petroleum and its products and use the income for running the governments. Had the oil prices been brought under the GST, only the central government would have got the taxes with the state governments getting nothing.
It's said that the price of petrol would, consequently, have come down to Rs.35/- per litre. The common man, meanwhile, suffers from the hike in oil prices!
3. The Dileep case is getting curious.
With the prime accused, Sunil Kumar aka Pulsar Suni, revealing that actor-director Nadirsha had handed over the money to him on completion of the job, the latter had to report for the police investigation as per the court directives, which was in response to his request for an anticipatory bail. Today, however, when he'd arrived at the investigation premises, his BP had shot up and blood sugar levels had shown a decline due to which he was shifted to a hospital. The investigation had turned out to be a no show.
Why should he have such reactions if he was innocent and had nothing to do with the case?
Tailpiece.
Tintoo, has done a damn good job in dry cleaning our clothes this time. You might laugh at my statement but at Guruvayur which is a one-horse town, such services are not up to the mark. Why do I've this sneaky feeling that he'd got it done elsewhere?
