Another round of news watch and no, not the ones that have made headlines but about those which hand over certain valuable lessons in life! Without much ado, let me begin.
(a) A Step in the Right Direction.
The Uttar Pradesh government has given seven days to 150-odd people to respond to its notices
for attaching their properties for their alleged involvement in damaging public property in
Lucknow when anti-CAA protests became violent last month. The identification of the rioters
was done after careful sifting of photographs and video footage. The accused will be given a
week to present their side but if the committee (of the Lucknow district) is not satisfied,
proceedings will begin to extract compensation. If they are not in a position to pay, their
properties will be attached and auctioned.
Hope the proceedings are on fast track and the guilty brought to book at the earliest. It's a good
beginning and will definitely be a deterrent for people to avoid taking law into their own hands!
(b) Is This Love?
S Lokeswari, all of 37 years, set herself ablaze outside the Punjagutta police station, in
Hyderabad after lodging a cheating complaint against her live-in partner, Praveen Kumar. Soon
after filing the report, she'd come out of the building, doused herself with petrol and set herself
on fire. She succumbed to her injuries in a hospital yesterday.
What a sad way to end one's life? Probably, it's a case of possessiveness! Emotional outbursts
can happen in a whim but the magnitude of the catastrophe, saddens everyone. Or did she feel
let down after having heaped her love on an unworthy man?
RIP, Lokeswari! My tears and prayers!
(c) The Pope is Human After All!
Pope Francis lost his cool momentarily while he was greeting faithfuls in St Peter's Square at
the Vatican. A woman devotee had grabbed his hand and yanked him towards herself. The 83-
year-old pope grimaced and scowled before managing to break free, slapping her hand twice.
Later, the Pope admitted that he had lost patience momentarily and apologised for it. He
continued with his tour, thereafter.
The Pope is also human!
Tailpiece.
Had got up a trifle late. Lekha had gone to the Mammiyoor Siva kshetram as part of her weekly trysts. Later, I'd gone across to the LIC and the ICICI to drop cheques.
