Sriram Vankataraman, a medical doctor-turned IAS officer had served as sub-collector in Devikulam in Kerala’s Idukki District. He turned hero and youth icon for his strong action against illegal encroachers in Munnar, Kerala’s prime tourist destination. He, reportedly inebriated knocked down a two-wheeler borne-journalist with his car which he drove rashly. The Hero turned zero instantly. Even a moment’s Indiscretion isn’t a good companion especially for people holding responsible office, and who are looked up to.
The NDA spearheaded by BJP and captained by one man -Narendra Modi was swept to a second term to govern India, in the process banishing a nonexistent opposition into further nonexistence, on the tide of a majority that surpassed everybody’s expectations.

A day amidst tea plantations of different shades of green, birdsong and lack of intrutions by modern day ‘amenities’ like internet and whatsApp, had us unwind right within nature’s arms, giving us much-needed break as family
Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, facing trial in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, yet contesting the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Bhopal against senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh terms Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse ‘a patriot’. This comes close to the heels of her loud mouthing that Hemant Karkare, the Anti-terrorist Chief who was investigating her role in the Malegaon Blast Case and died in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, died because she cursed him. These two unutterables, during her campaigning represents the grotesque visage of the party she represents- the BJP, and all that it stands for.

‘Christians’ leave no stone unturned to observe the Lenten fast in sackcloth and ashes. Were the ‘fast’ to serve its purpose, Christians would have been the most virtuous people around. But the reality is quite contrary.
Ever since Supreme Court’s ruling permitting women of all ages to worship at Sabarimala, ‘God’s own country’ which Kerala is known as has turned into a battle field.
