To close or not to close..

For the past couple of days there has been a lot of hullabaloo on the general bandh declared in Chennai on Oct 1..The bandh apparently was to speed up the Sethusamudram project..
Well the minute the bandh was declared opposition parties and public filed Public interest Litigations in the court..Drama took a new turn when the High court did not stay the bandh however ordered that transport and common mans life not be disrupted..

Now what was this.. is it a bandh or not.. businessmen and finance people thrown in a fix.. for the second time this year(March 31 st was also a bandh if i remember correct) , their account closing plans are messed up...
when a couple of days back I told a friend of mine about the Bandh.. without even a breather he said.. "Oh my god whats going to happen to the stock take for the Quarter end!!"
Ask anyone if there is a closure or not..and they'd say "well we are not sure"

And today ..well there was what hindi movies will say"Kahani mein twist"The supreme court in a special sunday hearing, "stayed the bandh"
And promptly the party staging the bandh decided to go on a day long hunger strike, now in protest of the stay order!!!!

And while a new drama unfolds from the dying embers of the bandh, I've decided am safer staying put at home on Oct 1st!!
