From this year, I have decided to post weekly updates about things that I have noticed more than others.
Joe Satriani's New Single
Virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani is back with a new single and new album. I and my friend watched the song, Sahara's, premiere on YouTube. The new single was an OK one similar to the songs in the Strange Beautiful Music album with the typical Satch flourishes, but it fell short of some strange expectations. The new album is titled The Elephants of Mars.
Covid-19: Kerala Imposes Sunday Lockdown
My home state of Kerala went to a complete lockdown on two Sundays starting today after the Covid-19 positive infections spiked dramatically in many districts. The state capital and Ernakulam fared the worst, as there were reports and group messages of entire families getting infected. Meanwhile, Karnataka lifted the weekend curfew from Jan 22, but decided to continue with the night curfew.
Jacinda Postpones Marriage
New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden, postpones her marriage as Covid-19 cases mount in the country. This is a rare show by a PM at this age of pandemic.
Indian Cricket in Trouble After Losses in South Africa
Indian cricket started 2022 with a test series loss to relatively weak South Africa after some poor batting and clueless bowling in both the tests as well as the ODIs. The series was marred by Kohli's resignation as Test captain. The side lost the ODI series also under the captaincy of K L Rahul casting doubts over coach Dravid's efficacy and needless controversies over the skipper. The last match is on today.
Past Comes Back in le Carre Classic
Finished John le Carre's Legacy of Spies novel. The past catches up with Pete as the wards of past bloopers approach the legal system for justice. The Spy Who Came Out From The Cold comes back strongly in this novel.
