So Mr. Muraleedharan's entry into Congress has been stalled by the warhorses in the KPCC. It gives Malayalis a lot to smile about - his antics, his statements, his feuds and everything regarding him. There was a cartoon in one of the pages of a leading newspapers - Murali crying as he lies in a cradle for abandoned children. That was a cartoon over which we had a wholesome laugh after a long time.
Mr. Singh, our dear Prime Minister seems to be running into a lot of trouble right now - a needless joint statement with the Pak PM, the EUMA (I don't like what I read) and the Ambani feud over gas, besides the really pressing problem of rising retail prices.
I sincerely do not understand how inflation can be negative when the price of anything I buy is going up exponentially. Vegetable prices are increasing too, and now the cheapest things to eat are eggs and milk. Seems our Civil Supplies Minster was right when he said some months back that Malayalis should live on milk and eggs. Everyone had ridiculed him then and now I see that he is having the last laugh. Sorry, Mr. Minister!
We had a lot of noise surrouding the striking down of Article 377. I wholeheartedly welcome the judgement. This should have been done long ago. They should also decriminalise 'attempt to suicide'. People do not try to suicide unless they are really emotionally or psychologically disturbed. It serves no point if they are made to serve jail terms or face police harassment for that. They should be given proper treatment, rehabilitated and let off. We are living in a civilzed society, I hope!
