..their ‘new’ brick and tile homes. Even then their hearts still linger on the beach & the sea. For the islander the sand and the water were always part of a shared home, which we outsiders fail to see or understand.
Remember yanking each step out of the sand, wading into the water from here diving set on shoulder. Children play frantic football, mothers shuffling toddlers on hips stroll on the beach & men languish in the sand or on small benches from dusk till they reluctantly retire into..

Total lack of Judicial restraint by Supreme court! They cannot run the country! This is not what our constitution says! Tomorrow they can take over any function of a legitimately elected govt! All political parties must protest this intrusion into the Executive domain @TheJaggi
@surajyengde More than the voters I believe the parties are. People can be influenced by rhetoric, but political parties are the gatekeepers of democracy. They influence voting and keep undemocratic populists out of mainstream politics. It’s a joint effort between democracy abiding rivals.
So angered by the govt’s decision to wait out the vote counting. Revolting. Should have enforced a lockdown atleast a week back rather than massaging the Malayali hubris by glorifying the civic sense and shit to ensure they hold on to the counting dates and cling on to power
Just got message that they got an ICU bed after six hours of waiting/wailing
Kerala is on the brink. Regardless of what the govt says, the ‘system’ may not hold up for long. Hospitals are bursting at the seams. Stay home if you want to save yourself, your loved ones and others
