October musings....tad bit late.

CM Amma is unwell and recuperating after a multi organ failure. Bless her.

Whilst, Bengaluru is getting rid of its unwanted Tamil Nadu registered buses, Chennai seems to be bit sane and maintaining a restraint; saving an odd skirmish here and there. Well, the next super power of the world, called India, shall be fighting; not with its neighbor ; however for water and other natural resources, state versus  states; T Nadu versus Kerala; Andhra versus Tamil Naadu; Karnataka versus Tamil Naadu; Haryana versus Punjab; whilst the federal govt embroiled in petty politics would be a silent, passive observer!

The lower riparian state gets the major advantage in water sharing policy, locally, nationally or internationally. Karnataka is in; T Nadu is off; Siruvaani dam is in; Supreme court is off; Megadadhu is in ; Karnataka is off; dams across AP; hapless TNadu with no big river to sustain it perennially, left at the mercy of the neighboring states; Indian federalism at its best. Sooner Indians may consider Visas to travel to other Indian states. Wake up India; get mature. Live and let others live.

There was so much animosity, jealousy and rage seen in the eyes of the perpetrators of vandalism during Bengaluru riots against fellow Indians from other states (in this scenario, Tamilians) and it is unbelievable and deplorable. Remember Bihari’s plight in Mumbai few years ago. 

No guarantee for life if you are at the wrong end of society; a yet to be convicted, so far been just been the lone accused of a murder of a techie called Swaathi in Chennai has apparently committed suicide whilst waiting for  a bail; his pictures were everywhere on media even before he was convicted of the murder , proclaiming ‘ Murderer”; well is he not from the wrong end of our so called society; from where  Ilavarasans,  Yuvarajss are killed every other day as “ Honour killing”?

“Since June 2013, Tamil Nadu has seen the murder of 80 young men and women who dared to marry or fall in love in violation of strict caste rules but not a single conviction.”- Hindustan Times. And two third of under trials in Indian prison are Dalits.

Under trial killing seems very common nowadys; either in encounters or in fake encounters . Bhopal, been in the limelight for the Gas tragedy is back again for the SIMI killings.

Joker:

It’s a Tamil movie and by any means a masterpiece; a cult classic, it would be; if you have not seen it yet, better you do it; and it’s my sincere suggestion. Bold thinking; free script and an eloquent story telling; none in recent times in Indian cinema may have portrayed the utter helplessness of the Indian underprivileged against the odds of odds stacked against him or her, especially by God, Religion, Politics, politician, corruption, Government, governance; love; romance; judiciary; police; education; healthcare and the not the least, our fellow morally corrupted human beings and his or her daily chore of crapping.

Yes; it’s about shit and in the process, reveals how shitty is modern day India and its politics have become in modern day selfish India, when it comes to morality and corruption intertwined about each other. Messages galore; movie is a huge hit; gutsy director and the producer!

Wake up middle class of India; soulless hypocrites; the strong 40% of Indian populace, i.e. 400 million; at least you can be opinionated on Odisha; 16 kms marathon walk of a Tribal underprivileged; at least pretend that you have seen it media and it was disgustingly depraving; say, stop “saving cows”; instead start saving human fellow dignity; emphathise at least in your shitty dreams, even though you may be eulogizing and day dreaming about an India that never can be and going to be.

We know that India is united in poverty; united in corruption; united in indifference to millions of underprivileged people on a fringe; united in caste-ism, feudalism, morally right mongers, and bonded in creed, colour and religious bigotry.

David Cameron is  off; Theresa May is in; more plane crashes; more crashes; Indian GDP is growing at an alarming  rate;  Thatha and Prince William are still waiting; MK Stalin is still struggling; Vai -Ko blabbering yet; Captain confabulating yet; Modi learning to be a PILOT and also an auto pilot; whilst every  Indian cabinet minister and every one of them seem to have  sent at least  one from their family, disguised as doctor, an athlete, an official, a peon, a politician, a chai walah , a coach to RIO; whilst the hapless Indian athletes left to dry, fry and almost to lie and die , scattered around the Rio Olympic stadium; Brexit poll results have already improved the British productivity.

Riot recently at RIO; Bolt proving to be real Bolt aftermath; Simone is the Gymnast; Phelps still swimming; Ledecki was fast and furious; Britain beating the Chinese in medal tally; Schooling got the first gold for Singapore.

Watched a Marathi film for the first time and I loved it. Sairat, is top class; whilst Bourne disappointed; have bought a villa in Chennai; May convert a house of mine in Chennai to a Geriatric clinic with a Day Hospital in few years’ time; any takers?

Trump’s early trumpeting is struggling about now; perhaps Hilary is likely to be left high and dry on her emails on her private folder, struggling with her Pneumonia; Obama can win presidency if constitution is rewritten; one of those things you can’t do as a US president; GST bill has been in Parliament; now with Pranaabji; Modi is talking about unity in selfless politicians and the benefits of pillaging a Nation’s economy in unison. Good chances that I may be called a Joker or a lunatic or even biased.

Kamal has parted with Kauthami after 13 years of Vanavaasam. American elections arriving soon; Deepavali came and gone.VISARANAI (interrogation), an Indian Tamil classic is on race for Oscars; Well I needed a break; KL and Lankawi helped me a bit. Need another one soon; and you may need one too.
