There seems to be a lot of things happening around us. The Parliament has done unprecedented business this session, during recent times, by clearing a number of bills thanks to a badly divided opposition despite it having a majority! The Amarnath Yatra has been called off, the yatris and the tourists have been airlifted out of Jammu and Kashmir to safety because of intelligence received regarding terrorist threats and the way the Muftis, Abdullas and Azad are spreading stories through media interactions - almost everyday - makes one believe that something serious is under way. The additional troop deployment has taken care of the LoC violations of the Pakistanis.

In Kerala, at Thiruvananthapuram, there was hectic activity regarding Sreeram Venkitaraman's custody and many of the police actions come under a shadow of doubt. With the media exerting tremendous pressure, his admission at the posh KIMS Hospital was cut short, checked by the judicial magistrate who had ordered for his judicial custody for 14 days, taken in an ambulance to the Poojappura Central Jail and subsequently, to the casualty wing of the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College by this evening. He has, since, applied for bail to the Chief Judicial Magistrate which will be considered tomorrow.
I've a few queries about this case:-
* Why was the blood sample of the accused not taken immediately after the police had reached
the scene of accident?
* Why wasn't Wafa Firoz grilled immediately after the incident was reported?
* Why was the accused allowed to get admitted into a private hospital of his choice?
* Why was the dithering on the part of the police regarding registering of the FIR?
* Is the law of this country different for different people?
* Thankfully, the person he'd slaughtered happens to be a media person and the media would,
naturally, hasten the process of investigation on the right lines!
* Sreeram's custody is on a non-bailable warrant. So, why is his bail request being considered
tomorrow in haste?
* And the biggest joke was, that, for a minor medical condition, the IAS guy had a face mask and
was stretcher ridden! Wish he'd the moral courage to say that he was wrong!! What a wastage
of public money on preserving his medical outlook and for what purpose!!!
Sad!

We were anticipating heavy rains today because the forecasts said so but it was a bright, sunny day with overcast sky. Bombay, instead, received more than its share of rain and normal life has been hit. The rain doesn't show any sign of reducing in intensity.
Tailpiece.
Another of those quiet Sundays with many phone calls. In the forenoon, had gone to the nearby Petrol Bunk to top up our Chevy and check tyre pressure. 'The Quarterdeck' was progressively shut down for our trip to Kochi for Lekha's medical review.
After a marathon session - in two sittings - Lekha has finished the Ramayana recital by this evening. She'd wanted to do so before going to Kochi for her medical review.
