Yesterday I happened to view a programme--Sooriya vanakkam-- in Sun TV. The anchors interviewed 4 women all very ordinary people as part of the International Womens' Day. Two women were auto drivers. One woman is working as a lorry driver and another women Indrani, a person of many parts.She lives in Trichy. She works as a Call taxi driver, Auto Driver, Water woman ie. taking the water cans by vehicle and supplying to shops singly irrespective of the timings, JCB driver besides attending to her children. When she narrated her experiences it was really amazing. I wondered where does this woman find such energy!!! She has made in roads to areas which are dominated only by men folk. Hats of to her courage perseverance and indomitable spirit. When she narrated her experiences every one at the Studio including the anchors were awestuck. Hats off to Indrani!!!. May her tribe increase.

Shri Rajmohan Gandhi the grandson of Rajaji and Mahatma Gandhi is the latest entrant to the AAP. It is unfortunate that Shri Rajmohan Gandhi has compared Arvind Kejriwal to Mahatma Gandhi. As one who was in the forefront in the fight against Emergency in the early seventies and as a Editor of Statesman who took upon the Indira Gandhi Govt., stooping to compare Arvind Kejriwal to Mahatma Gandhi is unfortunate.

Ms. Jayalalithaa it seems is chasing a dream of becoming the Prime Minister of our country. That is why she has decided to contest all the forty seats in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry leaving the left parties high and dry though initially she talked of alliance with them. There are many ifs and buts before her ambition is fulfilled. Firstly she has to win all the 40 seats which is highly unlikely. Even if she wins all the 40 seats where will the support come for 232 seats for her? Without  considering this reality she seems to be banking on the words of some sycopants and astrologrs.  Instead of chasing an improbable dream she would do well to concentrate on the infrastructure development of our State so that people would ever remember her.
