India's AI-yyo moment. Before teaching machines to think, perhaps we could learn how to conduct an examination without leaks, glitches, missing answer sheets, and administrative acrobatics.
The boy wonder Sachin happened before our eyes.
Who would have thought we will get to see another boy wonder in our lifetime again.
Different era yes. No T20 then. Can't imagine how Sach would have been in the format at the same age.
โI try to play the bowl, not the bowlersโ.
Exactly the same was the observation @sushil had just two days back, while we were discussing IPL at large, and Sooryavanshi in particular. Exactly the same observation!
From today, Chief Minister VDS from our North Paravur.
More importantly how he will handle Finance directly is to be seen.
Having challenged oppn finance ministers and making an impact in the assembly over the last 10 years especially, now sitting on the hot seat.
Random observations:
Yes, Congress has made the best choice in VD Satheeesan.
Only VDS could have predicted 100+ seats for UDF. Wait, he even drew up a list of Congress with 65 MLAs before polls. And that too happened!
KC Venugopal lost his name, fame and clout. Had he not jumped into the 'circus' ring, he could have acted like a Super CM-like power. Big time goof-up.
Shafi Parambil, arguably the most popular leader in Kerala now, took a major image- beating for having chosen to side with KC. Even in Malabar/North Kerala.
Mathew Kuzhalnadan, too, did the ultimate harakiri.
Not just Shafi this applies to young leaders PC Vishnunath and AP Anil Kumar.
Bravely, K Muraleedharan batted for VDS, irrespective of the loss it could have on his political career.
Finally, VDS will be a leader/CM in Pinarayi mould. Left will have a tough time ahead.

As hectic discussions are held on Kerala CM selection in Delhi, I find out what @vdsatheesan, a frontrunner for the post, is doing.
