The bandh called by dalit and progressive organisations demanding action against District and Sessions Judge Mallikarjun Gouda for what they say showing disrespect to B.R. Ambedkar during the Republic Day celebrations in Raichur was peaceful on Thursday.
People responded overwhelmingly to the bandh call and shops and commercial complexes remained closed. Public transport services remained suspended while private vehicles too kept off the road.
However, shops selling essential commodities remained open. The otherwise heavily crowded areas wore a deserted look. People remained indoors till afternoon.
Remember how Anne Frank didn’t miss a day to write in her diary which she named, Kitty? Anne wasn’t just scribbling dates and events — she was writing about her hopes, dreams, feelings and fears — like painting her world with words on paper. During the most difficult phase of her life, Anne found solace in her journal which became a way for her to stay connected to herself and it gave the world a glimpse into her immensely powerful resilience. In today’s world, where everyone is constantly scrolling the screens — journaling has become a sweet escape and a digital detox. Surprising, right? The old-school practice of picking up a pen and writing your thoughts in a diary has made a major comeback.
