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".
