Beat this!!!

Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s family refused to meet, and interact with Kerala Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan, and his Home Minister, K. Balakrishanan. He was not welcome, as it was clear he had come under “duress”, the words, of Mr. Unnikrishanan. There were angry scenes at their house.

The CM left.

And now, on Times Now, I just heard this, a slighted CM Achuthanandan reacting to his unceremonious ouster from the martyr’s house.

He said that if it had not been Major Sandeep Unnikrishanan’s house, not even a dog would have gone there.

Can you beat that, any of you politicians?

Who’s next?

(This comes in tandem to the post that at IHM’s blog, about another politician who questioned the citizens’ anguish and their protests against politicians. I had just finished posting a note there, and my son called me urgently to watch and listen to yet another horror unfolding, in the form of the Kerala CM’s remark! Truly unforgivable!)

Destiny

The destiny planned out
weaves its intricate threads thru’
hearts of people;

tearing emotions, feelings
bonds, into pieces;

The work of that Superman?

I don’t know now;
maybe I’ll never know.
Maybe it’ll remain as elusive
as that pot of Gold
at the rainbow’s end.

Or maybe
the Wonders of the Infinite
will be understood
thru’ the pains and sorrows
of living life;

Just cherishing those moments
that are worth the hell
the rest of our life holds..

Maybe…
Someday…
I’ll know…
