Happy news

This is not about babies. When a couple gets newly married, relatives have a way of harassing them. ” When are you going to give happy news?” An indirect way of asking..” Are you having intimate moments together and providing the end product?”. This post is about other happy news. So again pausing the “Guess the blogger” series.

First happy news-I have discovered two new bloggers in this blogathon-Indu and Prachee. Thanks to Tharani and SS. I was scrolling through posts and silently laughing at the jokes written..SS oda sleeping yoga post etc.. My maamanaru was asking..unakku ethum loosu pudichuruchaa. Thaanaa sirrikura. My response 🤭. (Namma story ellan explain panna mudiyaathu.)

Second happy news – Joe Biden has take oath as the US president. Whatever said an done the US is still the most powerful country on earth and it is necessary to have inclusive and kind leaders wielding power. I am still aware that Trump is not completely dumped. What we saw as the capitol carnage which happened earlier this month still reminds us there are entitled bigots who are unapologetic and they feel that they are superior and deserve to have the best of resources just because of they belong to a certain race , color , gender , religion or caste. They are still at the large and waiting to pounce back to power. It is very important that we empower the right people, feed the right wolf to ensure a better world for our children.

The same applies closer home too. I am appalled by the stalling of the farm law discussions, the proposed so called development projects which would be at the cost of environment and the know it all patronizing attitude of those in power in India. Also in India , we do not even have a strong opposition to it. Atleast in Tamil Nadu though we have a govt which is in compliance with the centre, there is a growing group of third party of youngsters in politics and environmental activism.

Third happy news. You remember the Stop Adani, Save Pulicat campaign for which I had designed an art campaign, poster? The govt has postponed the public hearing for the project. This is because of mounting opposition of the project from different directions. See the chappa saaku they have given taking the upcoming elections in view. Whatever said and done, the project is stalled.

A small win

If you want to know more on the reason behind the opposition for the port expansion, do watch this video here. Language of the video is tamil as this is a local problem. English sub titles are available to ensure reachability to all.

Wishing a happy day ahead to all of you❤️
