20 years to this day........

13 Dec, has once again come to haunt this country.

Twenty years back, our security forces had overpowered the terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Taiba who had tried to storm into our Parliament. And today, a group of people had stormed into the Lok Sabha - of our new Parliament bursting smoke pistols. There was a woman, with an accomplice, outside Parliament also creating ruckus.

The security agencies are investigating....

My take

The new Parliament boasts of a four-layered security apparatus! Whatever happened to it? How can we have security lapses that look as silly as this?

The entire episode needs to be investigated and the guilty be brought to book, forthwith. And for heavens'

sake let's have a foolproof security system in place covering our VAs and VPs.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a 10' to 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 10.

Sajish had come by at a half past 7 to give me my monthly haircut.

Got everything in order for our forthcoming trip.

A medley of songs in Raag Yemen and Yemen Kalyani sent across by Vishwe, gave me tremendous joy.
