Interesting happenings....the news that are grabbing the headlines these days. Let's see a couple.
(a) The CPM Congress.
The CPM Congress is all set to begin its session at Hyderabad tomorrow. Its gonna witness a
showdown between the factions supporting and opposing an understanding with the Congress
party to take on the BJP. Shorn of all the niceties, it's an open ideological war between Prakash
Karat and Sitaram Yechury. The former wants Manik Sarkar as the next General Secretary while
the latter is pitching for another term. Unfortunately, in this tussle, the problems facing the
party as well as the analysis of the Tripura poll debacle will be swept under the carpet. It was an
opportune moment for the party to review its ideology to suit the trend of the times.
(b) The ATMs Go Dry.
In another new situation, there seems to be a cash crunch in certain parts of the country.
Consider these:-
(i) The RBI reports that the currency in circulation, in the country, has reached the pre
demonetisation level of about Rs.17 lakh crores.
(ii) The government reiterates that there is adequate supply of currency notes to meet the
entire demand.
(iii) The temporary shortage has been caused by sudden and unusual increase in demand.
And guests come calling.
The day had begun on a quiet note as we went about our chores. There were guests who'd fetch up in the latter part of the day.
First was Letha, Lekha's elder sister from Tirur, after a long trip visiting many temples. She'd fetched up around a half past 4. After a quick cup of tea, she and Lekha had gone across to Asha's boutique to buy clothes for the wedding in her daughter-in-law's house. After about half an hour, Suma kunjamma and family had fetched up. Since Lekha was out of the house it was my turn to provide them with tea and snack.
Her grand daughter, Nayana and all of 4 years, had interacted with me for the first time and it was real fun time. Her dress sense is amazing!
By about a half past 7, Lekha and her sister had returned and after a noisy session of conversation, a quick bite of dinner Letha and Maari were off to Kottarakkara. Suma kunjamma and gang had a quick flit to the Guruvayur temple to have a 'darshan' of the good Lord. They'd returned by about a half past 9 and then it was a journey down memory lane with all the anecdotes and past happenings.
Tailpiece.
A day that whizzed past!
