The Hooda Issue.
Am dwelling on this issue, yet again, on the basis of today's events. Happened to view Lt Gen DS Hooda's responses to Rajdeep Sardesai's interview.
The Military Strategy Group set up by the Congress plans to put down Military Strategic Perceptions along with the way ahead - in other words, a vision document - within a span of 30 days. It's here that the doubts set in:-
(a) What's the locus standi of such a 'think tank' when there are official bodies that exist already?
(b) After the vision document is released, it might be perceived as easy to punch holes in Modi's
handling of the situation, post Pulwama(Idea is to show him in bad light), because the combined opposition has not been able to dent his image, till now, despite all sorts of wild
allegations being hurled at him.
And it's in such a situation that Lt Gen DS Hooda must never end up in.
There was a fake news that he advocated retaliation on Pakistan whereas we all know that he'd made it very clear - sometime within the last fortnight - that going for another surgical strike, at this stage, was not advisable.
Tailpiece.
Had got up thinking that I was late because it seemed to be quite a while after I'd heard the alarm. Lekha was sound asleep and I wanted her to get up on her own, as there weren't any deadlines to meet! Soon after, we went about our chores and were ready well in time.
Meanwhile, Pushpaakaran, the farmhand, had come in for the six-monthly spring cleaning of the house. He had started off in right earnest. Preetha had come by, a trifle later. The cleaning procedure was undertaken systematically as plenty of dust and dirt had accumulated all over the house thanks to the continuous, hot and dusty breeze.
The maid wasn't keeping well but she'd completed her day's work before her brother had come by in his auto rickshaw, to pick her up. Pushpaakaran helped her in winding up her work and by the time he'd finished with the external cleanship, it was 1600 hrs and time for a cuppa tea. The house looked neat and tidy, the wooden fixtures gleamed with the removal of the coat of dust and the ceiling and pedestal fans were shining - he'd done a good job.
The maid would not be coming tomorrow for work, so it will be Lekha's job to tend the kitchen. Her cough has subsided but yet to go off completely.
