And the tragedy is what follows

-
Hell was let loose in Mumbai last week taking away hundreds of life and causing destructions to iconic landmarks.Bereaving families can never be consoled .
But what irks is the devastating effects of mud slinging and political drama that followed.What difference does it make now that a few politicians have resigned,the damage has been done.This was someting that could have been thwarted in the first place.ATS and other security personnels were busy covering the politicians in the impending elections in Gujarat and Rajastan that the IB tip off and alerts went unnoticed.
Lapses are many.And the media is making the scenario murkier by blowing out of proportions each and every happening.
In between happened some amusing incidents like the Kerala CM being shooed off ,rightly so, by the martyrs father.Given the circumstances the Father is not wrong.'Whats is the big deal' in such after disaster high profile visits which causes further trouble to the inconsolable family.He only did what many of us actually wanted to do,but couldnt..Mr Unnikrishnan,the masses are with you.
The CM showed his true colours and absolute callousness when he uttered "Had it not been Sandeep’s house, not even a dog would have gone there“. Who asked him to go!!!!!!!Agreed it could be pressures from all sides to save his image as none from the political cadre was present during the cremation etc.But why such foolish remarks after that..?
Another incident was the CCTV camera showing the civilians on street nabbing the speeding terrorist and beating him to pulp.Had it not been for them and the smart thinking of the policemen present,one terrorist would not have been in custudy singing the tales of planning ..
Hope things will clear out fast and authorities conenterate all their efforts in strenghthening security system on all levels..Meanwhile lets all stay united and be there for our country selflessly...

P for privacy

    Back in the 90s, while in college, "a family that ate together... ", was the norm. Privacy was not a word often uttered, let alone having any importance in simple middle class households. A room to yourselves, even if you lived in a fairly large three bedroom house, was not very common. Closing the door to the room and staying most of your waking hours in your own utopia was a big taboo. So, I studied in a bedroom which had a study table and which ensured that I was in tune with the day-to-day household happenings. My concentration power depended on my interest in studies. Everything happened in tandem with the inner and outer microcosm.    And in the ladies hostel where I was put up, space was at a premium. Three narrow beds occupied the whole of the room and the rest held our bags and other paraphernalia, a small curtain with just enough space behind, to extend folded hands was all the privacy we could have. But, that closed space ensured a little world in itself, with

Swami Saranam

I am a devotee of Sabarimala Ayyappan and if someone asks what are the parameters of a devotee, then here is what I can confidently say. I believe that a trip to Sabarimala isn’t a holiday trip or a journey to prove a point. But it is an inward journey into yourselves, when you test your tenacity, your tolerance, your self-will while renouncing worldly comforts and abstaining from indulging in negative thoughts and actions. It is a huge commitment and cannot be taken up by a full time mother, wife and daughter like me. I would rather wait for that age when I have a stronger mental disposition ,when I can hold my head over all the responsibilities binding me down and with a calm and focused mind spend 41 days extolling the name of the lord and live in penance .Only then I am fully an Ayyappa Bhaktha .I see no inequality here, as even now I possess the right to have a darshan of Lord Ayyappa in the numerous other temples across the world.I see no need to panic or wound religious se

A SLAP to wake you up

Oh! You have " wife " problems, quipped my husband in the most sarcastic of tones , to a friend experiencing Wi-Fi issues, while on a zoom meeting. I , backed by years of experience, chose to smile it off .         But it set me thinking. Covid -19 and the ensuing world wide turmoil and unrest has left me quite introspective these days! But this time the thinking process was powered by the movie " Thappad" which had left a deep impression on my sensibilities.May be as a homemaker for whom the home is the pivotal point, I could relate a lot to many of the instances in the movie. A doormat, a sounding board - that is what often a homemaker is. The 'thappad' in the movie may be physical , but often for a homemaker it could be years of collected emotions , a residue of many incidents and instances,  that triggers one  volcanic eruption . Bound by affection, instincts and duty you forget yourself and toil on for years. It might have often left you restless and ma
