An unnecessary spat and other stories.

1. An Unnecessary Spat.

    It all started after a recently concluded Film Festival, when actress Parvathi commented that
    Mammootty should have avoided acting in the movie 'Kasaba'. The movie has the actor in the
    role of a policeman who mouths the choicest of abuses and filthy, guttural language. The particular
    conversational piece is derogatory against women! Mammootty obviously has got into the skin
    of the character that he portrays because he seems to have offended many of the womenfolk.

    What the young lady forgot was that an actor is a tool in the hands of his/her director  and is
    moulded into the character that the latter has in mind and for that singular reason, an actor has no
    right to interfere with the script or the director's creative freedom, however great he/she is!

    Being an actress herself, how did she forget this aspect? Consequently, she was trolled on the
    social media with the choicest of expletives perhaps, by the superstar's fan following which was
    unwarranted and in bad taste! The lady has reported the matter to the police who've filed a case
    on their cyber crime file.

    The spat should not be allowed to fester and a speedy end to the unnecessary controversy has to be
    brought about. A word from Mammootty, himself, should soothe ruffled feathers.

2. A Shocker From My Course Mate.

    "I lost my wife this morning. I'd taken her to INHS Aswini for a scheduled CT scan. After the
     scan she collapsed in the change room. We immediately took her to the emergency but the
     doctors could not revive her. 

     My son, a Major at Kupwara and daughter, a Squadron Leader is in Dinjan. Both are joining
     me in Mumbai today".  

     Sorry to hear about the sad news, Pradeep Aggarwal. Our heartfelt condolences. May God give
     you and the children the strength to tide over the irreparable loss.

3. The RSS-CPI(M) Intimidation Continues.

     Lethal attacks on two CPI(M) activists in Mattannoor, Kannur by the RSS activists and an
     open call for avenging the attacks have brought the intimidation tactics by the two parties out
     in the open despite the truce called by the chief minister some time back. Why does this continue?
     Is there no value for human lives?

     It's easy to understand that the bloody fights are to hold on to their political constituencies. What
     if the Hindus in the CPI(M) turn over into the RSS fold, in large numbers?



Tailpiece.

"The CT scan results are awaited".
