I heard of a case today which a guy filed against Maruti, for improper servicing of his car
The car : Maruti Esteem. The year: 2002
And the court ruled in his favour, in 2020
The court which took 20 years to give justice in such a petty case, now demands something in 24 hours
People of India : I have sold jewellery, land, assets, in the hope that I get justice, which for us is a matter of life and death. Please help
Our Lords : I understand, but our 3 month vacation is more important. Case is adjourned. Also, why is there no airport in Shimla
The entire enercise of giving amazing privileges, exemptions and extreme respect to our judges, is to ensure they don't succumb to external influences while doing their primary job, dispensing Justice
But nowadays, most focus only on the first part and have forgotten the second
Remember that district judge, who tried to weasel out of paying 80 bucks as toll, because he was a judge?
I am sure the next day, he would have made sanctimonious remarks on the cases of poor people in front of him. I mean, What sort of justice you expect from this guy?
I guess I should stop here. Otherwise some honour will take suo moto cognizance of this tweet, to file a habeas corpus petition for me and punish me for contempt of court?

An interesting anectode from history that puts the Game of Thrones to shame.
In 1169, there was a family fued in the Pandya Dynasty with regards to who would be the king. One one side there was Parakrama Panya and on the other, there was Kulasekara Pandya.
Now only one of them could be king and magnanimity was not a quality in either of the contendors. As there was no Mano - e - mano type contest to decide who is the winner, Kulasekara laid seige to Madurai, where Parakrama Pandya was there.
As Parakrama was not strong enough to fight Kulasekara, he asked the Sri Lankan king, Parakramaprabhu for help. The name might just be a coincidence.
Seeing this as a golden chance to get one up on South India, the Sri Lankan king sent an army under his general LankaPura.
In Kappan, Surya is PM bodyguard who saves farmers in his spare time.
In Bhoomi, Jayam Ravi is a NASA scientist, who seamlessly converts into an Indian farmer.
In Sulthan, Karthi transforms Chennai rowdies into farmers, in six months.
Farming is so much comedy to you va?
In Sulthan also there is an Ambani type villain who wants to convert all farmland and do mining and all.
He comes in the middle of the night wearing cooling glass to personally seize the Land and do fighting.
I mean why will an Ambani come and do fighting And all?
I never understood this trope in Tamil cinema, where an industrialist worth 10000 crore, gets into the field and do fighting with sticks and all with the hero.
And that too with a cooling glass, no matter what time of the day it is.
When we all joined Social Media ten years ago, we just wanted to have some fun, share info, expand our world view, maybe get into an occasional disagreement and laugh about it and move on.
I don't know where it all went wrong...
And I don't agree with the Politics part of it.
We are and will always be political. In the olden days though, difference in Political opinion was a given. But we used to overlook all of that, while interacting with others.
And there never was so much hatred.
Look At E Sreedharan. That man is a national hero. What that man has done will serve India for the next 200 years, if not more
He literally moved mountains and Delhi, to being people together and make India a better place
But because he joined the BJP, he was suddenly, wrong
I still cannot believe the stupid adoration that Tamilians and Telugu people have for their film stars.
Like them, love them, it's ok.
But what currently exists is Madness. For a supposedly well educated and an intelligent state, this kind of behavior is a travesty.
What I also can't believe is that people spend their own hard earned money in promoting their star. Be it trending their star on twitter, abusing the rival, printing giant flexes, everything.
I mean stars earn 20 cr for a movie. And you earn 0.001% of that. Why indulge in this?
And most of the stars probably don't even give 2 Rs for these activities. I am sure they don't even care about one flex in Thisayanvilai.
And if some superfan tries to come near, I am sure the star's security will have no compunction in throwing them out
