At last the hot weather has calmed down and it has been raining heavily in Kerala for the past two days. Also, the Legislative Assembly Elections are also going on and everyone are anxious to know whether the rains are going to affect the counting. The meteorology department of Kerala has issued a warning to the fisherman not to go fishing as the waves can go upto 3 meters high in the coastal areas.
It is the same situation in Tamil Nadu, Kolkata, and Assam. Relief camps and... rescue operation are put on standby in TN, just in case anything happens like the flood that occurred in December. In Assam, 16 are injured due to landslides. Kolkata is bracing itself for the storms that are expected to move in the north-east direction.
The misery is not only in the Indian states but also in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The torrential rainfall has caused a massive landslide due to which more than 200 families have gone missing. This has occurred in a very remote area in Sri Lanka due to which rescue operations crew have to walk and start digging with their hands before any heavy equipments can reach up there.
The sad part of the story is the media will brutally neglect these news tomorrow and in the coming days as they have 'more tempting pastures' in the form of elections and subsequent dirty linen washing. Quite Ironically, even the Jisha murder case is like something happened a decade ago for these 'sensationalists'. Majority of the sympathies or the acts of it are only soulless bodies. Let us be wise enough to identify any vested interests coming to us wrapped in attractive covers! 🙂

A new cabinet has taken oath on Saturday. Now you all may be wondering- "Which cabinet is he taking about? There are a few more days left for the Karnataka election". No, I am not talking about the Karnataka government. I am talking about a shadow cabinet that has been formed in Kerala.  There is not much reported by the media about it, as usual, but the shadow cabinet has been formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions and making it 'public-friendly'. The most interesting fact is that it is composed not by any politicians or run by any party, but by the civilians.  Now all of you might be wanting to know more about 'Shadow Cabinet', so I have looked up in the internet and found out what it really is, so as to give you a more clearer idea of what it actually is- " A shadow cabinet is an alternative cabinet formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions. Often the Opposition comprises a shadow cabinet, but in this case,

Life, with its intricate tapestry of experiences, is a journey riddled with uncertainties. From the choices we make to the outcomes we face, uncertainty permeates every aspect of our existence. While it may evoke feelings of discomfort and anxiety, embracing uncertainty can lead us on a profound and transformative path of self-discovery.  Life often presents us with unexpected twists and turns, shaking the very foundation of our plans and dreams. We find ourselves grappling with a sense of helplessness as we realize that control is merely an illusion. The fear of the unknown can grip our hearts and cloud our vision, leaving us paralyzed and afraid. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of uncertainty that the seeds of growth and resilience are sown. Embracing uncertainty calls upon us to release our grip on control and surrender to the flow of life. It is an act of courage, a willingness to let go of rigid expectations and embrace the beauty of the unpredictable. It is in the depths of
