1. Azam Khan's Bluster.
This guy uses guttural and offensive language during his election speeches to browbeat his
opponents. The funniest fact is that he always gets off without any action being taken against him.
Today his jibe at his opponent, Jayaprada of the BJP was that the colour of her panties was kakhi.
His party chief, Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati or even Priyanka or her brother have reacted to it; in
fact they don't find anything wrong with it!
What a fall in standards! Anything goes and finally, will come with a weak kneed apology after
the damage has been done. Sad!
2. Another Unwanted Religious Remark.
Kerala's BJP chief, PS Sreedharan Pillai, has said that he can identify Muslims by having their
clothes removed. Now, whatever he had meant by that, it's an obnoxious statement. Wonder why
people make it a point to run into controversies?
Hope the Election Commission takes note and pulls him up.
3. Electioneering Is On In Full Swing.
The political parties and their candidates were actively canvassing for votes and many arterial
roads were blocked and the traffic was interrupted despite the watchful eyes of the police in trying
to make people obey the rules and restrictions.
Thankfully, Kerala has entered the last week of electioneering as elections are due on 23 Apr.
4. Shashi Tharoor Sustains Injuries.
The venue : Gandhari Amman Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
'Thulabhaaram' is a Hindu ritual in which a person is weighed against gold or grain or fruits
and the equivalent weight of that object is offered as donation.
While undergoing the ritual, he fell when the balance scale broke and the hook support came
loose and sustained injuries on his head and leg, necessitating six stitches on his head.
He has been quite critical about the Hindu religion's customs and traditions when he toed his
party's line on secularism. Come election time, he is trying to be more Hindu than an actual one!
Was this God's way of teaching him a lesson?
Tailpiece.
We saw the Vishukkani at 0205 hrs, a little early by our usual standards! Went off to sleep yet again and was up with the alarm at 6. Lekha, in the process of getting up twisted her left toe and had problems in moving around, initially. She made her tryst with the Kottarakkara Mahaganapati; she'd gone and returned by an autorickshaw that the caretaker had organised.
A quick change, off to Pidavoor to meet Padmakumar's amma and hand over the Vishu kaineettam to the youngsters. We were at the venue of the wedding in time and met quite a lot of friends and relatives. Wished Arun and Chippy a long and happy married life.
Reached the Maruti Service Station by about 3, eased ourselves and started from there immediately thereafter with Nandu and Praveen at the helm and was back at 'The Quarterdeck' by 7. Thus ended our slightly adventurous journey with not much of a difficulty!
