1. The Rafael aircraft acquisition is once again in the Supreme Court. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie are the prime movers of this case. The advocate seems to have a pathological hatred towards Modi and the other two have not forgiven him for not inducting them into his ministry. The rest of the opposition is awaiting with bated breath, flinging muck on Modi hoping like mad that something sticks so that they can shout, "Look he is also corrupt like us". They are simply worried about his clean image! We'll have to wait to see as to how this drama plays out ultimately!
2. We'd got up literally with the alarm. Went through our chores and were ready well in time. Seena, the beautician, came by late afternoon and she has fixed a new maid to work in the house. The Whirlpool servicing team ditched us royally as they failed to fetch up as promised!
