This Mother's Day fell on a Sunday

 This Sunday I had this urge to go to Church. It is not a easy thing as I have to drive 80 kms and back. But I decided to honour this urge and drive on. On the way while listening to the stereo and in the Church, I don't know why the prayers to Mother Mary kept touching a chord. 

I am not a person who worships Mary, but belong to the denomination that respects her. Later in the day I learnt that it was the Mother's Day. Day where mothers and their role are celebrated

There is no better icon for a Mother's Day than Mary. Deeply misunderstood in her times, got pregnant before she was married and that too in a patriarchal society. She was nearly abandoned and then had to flee her country, gave birth , alone and in a  cattle shed. Had to see her son drawing ire of the establishment and then get killed at 33. She is still despised by her own sect, the Jews

Can we see a better example

One-Five years

  Only when I opened my email yesterday did I realize that I had completed 15 years in this humungous organisation

And maybe it takes quite a while to realize that you have ended up in the wrong place and you have sunk too deep to get out.

And the reason I opened my email was to send out a complaint against a branch in my own organisation who refused to open a account. The people around are changing so fast, and you are stuck up as a fossil

Big Boss Malayalam- A cultivation ground for BJP?

 This election season comes up with some very interesting picture in the demography of Kerala politics

Bit UDF and LDF barely fields one or two celebrity candidates where as BJP easily comes up with many

Even interesting scenario is most of these candidates shot to frame or came to limelight after their tenure in Malayalam TV program Big Boss. Now it goes without saying the program is hosted in Asianet which is owned by BJP state president Rajeev Chandrashekhar

So the question is - Is Big Boss a fertilizing ground for BJP agenda? If you look at the last few seasons, they put in In-your-face contestants with toxic outlook versus people with a 'privileged-liberal' outlook (aka LGBTQ) . There is toxicity on both sides of the court and they are packaged to family audiences as 'game-plan'

I know people as in men and women irrespective of age sitting late into night watching the show. The juicy bits are cut short and packaged as reels the next day. There are fan fights and debates and 'armies'.

In the end only right wing fascist content prevails
