The kids get another holiday today - an unexpected one at that - and Ashwin has attended just a day's class this week! Thanks to Chief Minister Karunanidhi's nice gesture of granting a holiday to all educational institutions and state government offices on account of the tragic death of Andhra Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy day before yesterday in a chopper crash. The death was confirmed only yesterday, and his friends and foes alike in the political spectrum are mourning the loss. A couple of other States have declared a holiday today.
I am mourning his death too as he was one Indian/Congress leader I admired, though he was reportedly quite a goonda until he became the Chief Minister. That is nothing surprising in Indian politics where goonda connections or a goonda history are more the norm than the exception.
