Recent happenings that disturbed me

Recent events that are taking place in many of the parts of our Country is disturbiung me. The Advocate incidents that took place in Chennai is the heights of unlawful act (enacted by people who are supposed to be the protectors of law). I had visited the Court premises after a week and the place looked ransacked. Who is to be blamed is still being argued by all political parties who see this as a platform for starting their bickerings . Even otherwise during my earlier visits, I have always felt that the lawyers always acted indifferently towards police. So the police had their day. To add to it the advocates went to the extreme of destroying the Justice Krishna Commission Report, on the incident. The next one is the death of medico Aman. The death is once again because of ragging. Few years back it was Tirunavukarasu, medical student who was studying in Annamalai University. Somehow such ragging incidents are more in professional colleges. The death of Aman is a very big loss to his family. Even worse is the loss faced by the family of the accused. They would be shattered by the arrest of their children. All their dreams and hopes about their wards are now over. To add to it they also have to face the society. As usual out politicians are enjoying their own piece of cake by asking some persons to resign taking moral responsibility. I really wonder how people who are to save life can themselves indulge in such inhuman act. Education is supposed to make a human civilised. But it looks that we are back to barbarism and enjoy fighting on the name of Religion, Caste, Community, Language and the list goes on.......

Blogging after long time

I am back to blogging in my dashboard after a lapse of almost an year. Though I kept viewing many other people's blog spot......and was also sharing my views with them........somehow I had not been blogging in my own space. Last year was full of hectic events.....some good and some not so good......some bad......But, one good thing about last year was that my daughter got engaged to a very good friend of hers and the year ended with lots of happiness. I went to Tirupati thrice last year and we went on pilgrimage to so many different temples in and around Kumbakonam, Tanjore and Trichy. It was our family's turn at Varagur Mandagapadi during Chitirai Varuzha Pirapu.......a wonderful honour bestowed on only four families at our hometown temple. So the whole family was there and it was a wonderful day. Wish we could do this regularly every fourth year.........My Bro's family came back to India for good...and it is nice to have your kith and kin near you.........All along he was away and it is real long time since we were together in our family functions.........(the last function that the two of us were together was during his daughter's birthday).......I am happy he will be here for my daughter's wedding. It is really painful to see your loved ones staying away for various reasons in a different country and you don't get to see them for two to three years.......I am happy he is back........and I would get to meet him often now........On the whole, last year went on well and hope the grace of god would continue to be the same........this year also.
