My Day Today.

My Day Today.
.........................
My Dear Rajesh,
                                 It is election time in India. Actually tomorrow the results will start coming. The exit polls predicts Narendra Modi who is the P.M.at the center and belongs to BJP is winning again. Since BJP is highlighting Hindutwa and the consequences being a type of divide amidst people I am not find of BJP. The other national alternatives are hugely regional and other than Congress which has deteriorates at the grass root level as nationalism is now after 70 years of independenc ( actually my age) is being tinged with majority religion colour. The impact of independence struggle from colonialism has disappeared as the younger generation has no exposure or regard for the independent feeling. That is my generations children has no experience of a national identity.
                       Along with this the dynastic rule of the Gandhi family, has failed to generate prosperity and corruption free governance and widening divide and rule play in all aspects of life. 
                                I think every century encounters a crisis like this. So there you are.I used to regret that in today's analytical data scope,artificial intelligence research,and technology growth you missed out being here. Do also during this period of political change in identity you are missed by me. I could have gauged today's trend and why it is do by seeing you grow and form your opinions. Danny is there of course and she definitely is understanding about today ' s alienation. She does hear me out too.
                      I went to Coordinate from 29th April to 4th May and saw all my brothers . I am feeling alienated πŸ˜‘πŸ˜too from my brothers. More on this subject later. 
Affly
Amma.

My Day Today.

My Day Today.
............................
My Dear Rajesh,

               09-05-2019,a Thursday. I had a death news just about 45 minutes back. A cousin of mine,Sankaran,died of cancer. Coimbatore cousins.
It does not matter as he is aged.Thinking of you my dear.

Now for good and interesting news. You remember me writing about T20 matches and Indian Premier League. Now for this 2019 Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have come as the 3 teams in the last round. Mumbai Indians are straight into the finals having beaten CSK. Now CSK and DC should play one game to decide who goes into the finals. Tomorrow is this game.
It is election time in India. I have to write about Indian political scenario to you. I really have to explain as somehow in updating you I have left out politics.
The Bharathiya Janatha Party or in short BJP is at the centre having won absolute majority in 2014 elections beating Manmohan Singh led UPA govt.with Congress and allies. But now in 2019 the electrons for centre has come and are being held in 7 phases. I have voted in Bengaluru. I am against BJP though Ranju and Ram are pro.BJP.Any way none of the political parties are seeing to the well being of the people. All have superficially done some work and people after all has to choose someone.
So that is the situation.
I will write again.
Affectionately,
Amma.
