Reactions to news .

The relaxation of sanctions on Iran is good news for me not due to any romantic notions of civilisational ties etc pedalled by secularists ,which would mean that we should have even more closer ties with Africa where the first ancestor of all of us is said to have been born,but because my LPG gas cylinder may cost less and petrol prices could fall and so would prices of commodities ,travel fare etc.
The govt may be relieved at the prospect of making amends. That is try and bring down prices before it exits. The opposition a wee bit disappointed for losing a nice electoral plank if prices  fall. 

On Arushi case it was obvious to the public after the second cbi investigation which corroborated the original findings of the local police that the father did the act under grave provocation and the mother chose to be a loyal wife.

              How ever the timing of the verdict to co incide with 'violence against women's  day ' has me pondering at the political angle.Another news raging till yesterday regarding sexual assault on a young woman journo by Tehelka editor that would have had the ruling dispention in tenterhooks at the terrifying prospect of yet another spontaneous civil society movement of net savy indignant youngsters waving palcards and flags in indiagate area  has been in one stroke pushed to the background. An suspicion that  there could be some nexus between some segments of executive with some segments of judiciary  is naturally aroused.

Over all the political class and  its minions are  simply too smart for a guileless person like me who is also mesmerised ,diverted and constantly provoked to take a stand by the highly voluble and suggestive media channels.
