Damn... I knew it would be difficult

Sis’ marriage.

Dad, you are an absolute gem.

A New Chapter begins for us.

God Willing, I should be back in institute tomorrow by this time.

P.S. : Kerala-the state- You are beautiful but you s**k.
You love it when things don’t move. You thrive on holidays and you are at your best when you have nothing to do.
In my five years of education here , I have seen more hartals, strikes and lockouts than in my other 13 years of educational and professional life elsewhere in India (read U.P.,Rajasthan,Assam,Karnataka and Maharshtra) . I don’t quite get it when for every issue that you want to bring to public notice you have to resort to stoppage of work.

I wonder how they do it in other states in India. On second thoughts I think I know how they do it in other states without disrupting normal public life.

Hey Judy,
Thanks for dropping by. You've hit the nail rit on the head when you spoke of decentralization in governance.
Besides an interesting perspective that your brought about the flag. It was after a long time that all of us got the right to display the flag on our volition.And national flag always touches the chords of the peeople .I think Indians will never move to a point of allowing freedom of expression to culminate in a burning of the flag.
And the insulation of public property (and punitive measures where applicable) in a phase of protests is something that I think we should seriously start looking at.

I know how they do it in West Bengal...not really very different from Kerala...but over here there is an unspoken rule of 2 bandhs a year...one by the opposition and one by the ruling party :) obviously u dont need an issue to call a bandh !
