There were quite a few things happening today and one, literally, had to pause for breath to take in the inputs! Let's go through those happenings:-
(a) The Kerala Government's Reaction over Adani Take Over.
The Chief Minister has written to the Prime Minister that there would be no state support if
the Adani group takes over the running of the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.
Instead, he has recommended its handing over to the company floated by the Kerala State
Industrial Corporation.
The repercussions would be worth watching. Wonder how the objection has cropped up when
the state government supports the Adani Group's development of the Vizhinjam Seaport?
(b) Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman Set to Return Tomorrow.
Imran Khan, the Pakistani Prime Minister, today announced in his combined Assembly that
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman will be sent back to India tomorrow as a peace
gesture.
What I'm amazed is the way most sections of our media have been whipping up a war hysteria.
Wonder whether they are aware of the ramifications of such an action and the setback a war
would bring about to the tremendous growth that the country has achieved thus far?
(c) The US-North Korea Summit Collapses.
Negotiations collapsed between the US president and the North Korean leader collapsed because
the latter insisted that the US lift all sanctions in exchange for just the dismantling of the
Uranium enrichment site of Yongbyon. US, on the other hand, wants full denuclearisation prior
to the removal of the sanctions.
Tailpiece.
Had got up in the wee hours of the morning to ease myself and consequently, got up half an hour late. Went about our chores and were still on time. No maid today too, and the lady who'd promised to substitute didn't fetch up!
Our maid, Preetha, is down with Hepatitis C and it's gonna be a long haul insofar as her recovery is concerned. She has to take rest for at least a month to get back to normal!
