Mr. KAPPU AND HIS LAST DAYS….

I hear Kappu has been trying to put up a brave face before his cronies. He has in his hands the qualification approval given by Madurai Kamaraj University. He tells them he will get his Secretaryship approved by the Director of Collegiate Education. Mammon worshipers of the College say even if Maama is gone, Mammon will get Kappu anything he wants. Breastbeaters and mischief makers who fear real fight with Kappu and broker secret peace with him day in and day out say, “Kappu is a monster, he will win finally… you be quiet.”

But I say to you, ”Kappu will be removed legally soon”. The two Writ Petitions that have been filed in the Madras High Court (Madurai Bench) in fact are the last nails in the coffin. There are two serious contentions: first, Kappu’s appointment is in serious violation of principles of natural justice and is bad in law. Second, the qualification approval given by Madurai Kamaraj University is a laughable matter. He has been given approval by the moribund MKU in terms of non-existent UGC Regulation 2000. (Read Indian Express 11, July 2012).

There is an old saying, “Every thief leaves some evidence in the scene of crime.” But here is a situation where someone has left his biometric ID proof, an address book of his hideouts and of course very sentimentally a copy of his jathakam (horoscope) too. Still some jugglery can happen as Kappu has a few court managers. But a good josier (astrologer) is soon to arrive to read his jathagam.

The Tamil month of Aadi is said to be not very auspicious. Even your ammi (grinding stone) will fly off in the high velocity wind. Beware it does not hit you on its way. So I say “Do not be frightened by the brave face of the enemy; do not be cowed down by his chest-up walks and indolent talks; do not hear the poisonous lies of the false prophets of the Western Temple; look at sunrise every morning”. For Kappu, ” As the Luke Gospel says, stay awake all the time praying that you may have strength to escape all these things which are going to take place…”
