THE first session of the state Assembly in 2025 will begin on January 6 with the customary address of Governor RN Ravi.

- T MURUGANANDHAM @Chennai

The session is expected to last for five or six days.

Given the governor's face-off with the DMK government and the Assembly witnessing high drama during his last two addresses, suspense runs high whether his address to the House on January 6 will happen peacefully.

Ravi, after assuming office on September 18, 2021, had said the relationship between his office and the state government is a new and clean state. "My effort will be to make it as beautiful as possible in days to come," he had said.

Peanuts, Priorities, and the Flow of Time

Not long ago, I had a conversation with a CEO who, somewhere between checking his phone and adjusting his tie, declared: “I just don’t have time to pursue what I really want.” It was a very solemn moment. Almost moving. Had it not been for the fact that, during our 20-minute chat, he checked his phone 17 times. That's once every 45 seconds—20 if you subtract the part where he closed his eyes and said “Mmm” to pretend he was listening

When Our National Spectacle Crushes Its Own

Hathras in 2024 at a religious satsang, where followers stampede in a rush of blind devotion, while the state machinery busies itself trying to control the narrative. Even at the greatest of religious festivals, the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather, crowd-related deaths occur with horrifying regularity, often covered up and casually dismissed as a ‘logistical inevitability.’

The Lost Art of Agenda-free Conversations

I spent last weekend in Fuengirola, a seaside town on Andalusia’s Mediterranean coast. Successive waves of cultures and subcultures have shaped this Spanish region, each leaving its imprint in indelible ways. Yet what struck me even more than the pristine blue waters and fusion architecture was a unique conversational practice. Across Fuengirola’s restaurants, I kept noticing the same thing: tables where the meal had clearly ended but no one was leaving.
