My Grandfather had come yesterday evening. His insights about both things happening around us are something I just love. He relates happenings to similar things that have happened centuries back and often takes quotes out of Ramayana and Bhagavad Geetha. Not so difficult for a person who reads Ramayana everyday!
Dad, grandpa and myself were discussing about the state of politics, education among others in the state and in the country. Thats when the topic of reservations came in. I was quick to bring in a supposed statement by Azim Premji that came in as a forward. And the discussion went on going around Viswamithra, Right Honourable Srinivasa Shastri and a couple of his friends who were revelations in Government Services. At the end it was a stunner from my thatha...
"Adhellam vidu, competent people-kku KadavuL, incompetent people-kku Government". Golden Words, aren't they? Way to go thatha!
