I'm still very sad at the news that keep getting distorted. Is there a section of the media that's hell bent on propagating negativity? If affirmative, what's the reason? Good news or bad, it must be delivered truthfully without fear or favour. Period! The recent trends show that pessimism is being orchestrated for no rhyme or reason. Let me explain.
(a) PM's Visit to the Ockhi Affected Areas.
In yesterday's newspapers came a news byte that the Prime Minister will head for the Raj
Bhavan - straight from the airport - to meet the chief minister and his ministers with a few
from the distress affected areas. It was emphasised that he wouldn't be visiting any of the
affected areas as his visit was of an extremely short duration. My queries and a few comments
follow:-
(i) Why was the PM so late in visiting the distressed people, that he'd sent his defence minister
earlier, not withstanding?
(ii) He was busy electioneering in Gujarat which saw to it that his party could save the blushes!
(iii) Why was his itinerary contorted? His visits to the Lakshadweep, Poonthura and
Kanyakumari must have been passed on to the concerned officials, who in turn, would have
told their respective bosses. Then, why the distortion, under whose instigation and what was
the ultimate aim?
Playing politics through a calamity! Sad!!
(b) They're Spoiling Rahul Gandhi.
Again, the press and the Congress party along with BJP's disgruntled Shatrughan Sinha have
been talking about Rahul Gandhi's achievement in reducing its lead in the Gujarat Assembly
polls. We saw yesterday as to what all antics were tried out there to snub Narendra Modi's
winning juggernaut.
The Congress scion has to work hard if he were to succeed. He's yet to tell us as to what his
vision is, for the country. He's not gonna reach anywhere by criticising Narendra Modi
constantly. Why doesn't his spin masters understand this? Otherwise, it will be they who'll
be actually letting him down.
Hope that the media gives him an unadulterated feedback. To tackle a hard worker like the
PM, the Congress leader cannot afford to resort to gimmickry!
Tailpiece.

"The frequent fevers seem to be the problem that seem to bug the doctors who're endeavouring to find a way out. What it indicates is an infection that is yet to be identified". From K Vipinachandran.
2. It was Padmakumar's birthday and we began the day by wishing him many happy returns before he left for office. The traditional cake cutting was performed in the evening. My nephew, Achu took us on a conducted tour of the famous Kalpathy temples and the 'agrahaarams'. It was followed by an elegant dinner at the Annalakshmi Hotel, the surprise being the arrival of my niece, Ammu and Midhun, from Coimbatore by about a half past 9. It was a late night, with each one of us remembering our get togethers of the past as the evening began to grow late! We begin tomorrow early morning at 6, when we drive off to Coimbatore along with Midhun and Ammu to spend a couple of days with them.
