Firsthand account of #Corona crisis in TN
My 8yr old niece & 80yr old uncle tested +ve
Hence my brother took a test for all the others at home. Himself, wife, son, in-laws. Report +ve for everyone except bro.
Corporation called my brother this morning & scolded him for testing
They asked him why he had to test for everyone& increase the cases, instead he should have simply home quarantined himself🤬
Appalled at the contrast in handling this. Same @chennaicorp last year was so helpful& considerate when my neighbour tested +ve
Now abusing people
As if this isn't bad enough. He next got a call from a hospital cartel/local thug who insisted that my brother bulk book hospital beds with him. My brother refused. He tried to pressure him.
TN people that didn't vote& those that voted must be richly congratulated.
சாப கேடு 🤦 दारिद्र्य
[Can only ask him दुःखदहनाय नमः शिवाय]

She was there when I was born.
A young, energetic research student, Brinda & her brother Vidya (both in pic) were my first childhood buddies
My relationship with Brinda only grew stronger with the passage of time despite the huge political-religious divide #BarriersBroken
One of the 17 scholars who worked on a study that captured the changes in agrarian patterns in the Tanjore belt which formed the basis for this book👇
Brinda was a key member of #AIDWA (♀️'s wing of #CPIM) She poured her energy in protecting & caring for the abused & battered
One of the few in that party who stood for the victim irrespective of their gender.
A rare gem, who did not carry the ubiquitous hate the others possessed
We love to debate many things - no everything actually. Even if we agree we love still love a good discussion.
i get to see recommendations, at times ridicule of who is a guru - how he must dress, speak, behave and even live.
If i knew how someone else should be then why am i not all that? duh! i am not a realised being yet. I dont know the very fundamental nature of life. But i do know how everyone else ought to be in order to receive a tick in my teenie tiny mind box.
somewhat like this
i dont recollect having identical types of teachers in my school or for that matter in life. I dont recollect all students loving the same teachers.
i also dont recollect the teacher with the most doctorates or most doctoral students being the most endearing one.
twitter keeps me on bounce! so i request all the other handles to please take these questions forward.
1. (how) & why did the imbecile who was the face in the karuppar kootam video go to pondicherry?
1/n
2. Why was he not arrested right away but given a chance to appear with his motley gang, garland a statue & make an abusive speech about the constitution? Why did the Pondy govt not react with speed? 2/n
3. If someone slaps your mom today will you take 3 / 4 days to react? Unless the person who slapped her is your father & you incited him to do so? - This is for all those who waited to gauge public reaction before responding. 3/n
