May is the month of sunstroke for the people of Tamilnadu. The peak summer period of Kathiri had the climax of 42.5 degree Celsius on the last day (May 28). The massive hike in petrol price matched the soaring temperature. While we the hapless people are reeling under the pressure of high petrol price, the bunks are dry without petrol and diesel. Serpentine queues, and fisticuffs between the exasperated consumers and the staff of petrol bunks are regular entertainment features for the past few days. Some bunks are generous enough to ration their limited supply. No proper explanation of this sudden shortage from those concerned; this stirred the rumour mongers into swift action. What excellent governance do Indians have? How true is the popular saying "The man who is hit by the lightning is bitten by a snake!"
