Had got up with the alarm and gone about our chores. We were ready well in time. Today's Wednesday and the first of the Malayalam month of Kumbham. The requisite 'aarathis' were carried out. The breakfast of 'sweet adas' turned out to be a dampener as certain parts of a few of them weren't cooked uniformly. I suppose errors creep in at times.
Vineesh came in soon after as per my directives given to him yesterday. Lekha and Preetha were dropped at the Mammiyoor Siva kshetram and we hit for the Geeyem Motors at Puzhakkal to sort out our Chevy's problems viz.:-
(a) The clutch had become hard.
(b) The car's body required an overall dent work and touch up.
(c) A noise came, at times, from the front left wheel assembly and
(d) To check fluid levels.
We returned an hour before lunchtime and I'd by then, begun to pursue restarting Lekha's cellphone as per instructions from Airtel. With a fair amount of juggling it was ascertained that the sim card needed a change and I was resigned to the fact that we'd have to go all the way to Kunnamkulam, about nine km from our house. Thankfully, we were directed to go to the new Airtel store that was opened a couple of months back at the railway level cross towards the eastern entrance. We made a beeline to the place and had a new sim place!
The siesta was, thus, shortened but for a worthwhile cause!
Tailpiece.
What the hell is happening?
Why do institutions like the AMU and the JNU court controversies all the time? Are we hearing about the shenanigans going on in these campuses, on a highlighted note these times, because of the BJP government in power?
Consider these:-
Fourteen students of the Aligarh Muslim University(AMU) have been charged with sedition, among other things, after they allegedly assaulted a TV crew and a few members of the BJP youth wing, last Tuesday. It all started after a few students, belonging to one section, objected to the proposed visit of AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi to the campus. The stories that preceded the FIRs raised would give a fair idea of the happenings:-
(a) Mukesh Lodhi in his complaint has said that when he reached the AMU circle, his car was
attacked by AMU students who tried to lynch him and when he'd opposed it, he was fired upon.
Meanwhile, certain students were being targeted within the campus.
(b) A reporter from the TV station, who'd gone to the campus for a story, alleged that the AMU
security officer and students had misbehaved with her and her colleagues and snatched their
camera.
