Vineet’s Magic Mantra: Grounded!
The Hindu
No computer, going out, friends, or crackers. Only a bunch of chores. It was going to be a gloomy festival.
For no fault of his, Vineet gets into trouble with his neighbour, who complains to his father.
“Sorry Dad,” Vineet apologised softly.
“It’s too late for apologies. You will spend the entire holidays helping the staff clean the house for Deepavali. Dadi will supervise you.”

Nearly 350 workers’ union and federation members, including about 150 women, blocked the road in front of Madurai railway junction on Tuesday, demanding repeal of the four labour codes brought out by the Union government. The protesters, led by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and affiliated bodies, alleged that the labour codes were a direct threat to workers’ interests, as they would weaken job stability and dismantle long-standing social security benefits.
