Normal And Abnormal

Indians must be the most self centred people in the world. In such case Kerala must be on top of the list of state. Elders in Kerala generally advice their youngsters, "Why should we bother about others issues and purchase problems for us?" We all try to adhere to this advice strictly right through our life. And this must be the prime reason for most of us to remain indifferent when political parties take destructive attitudes. Those who have a dwelling place,. necessary food and some income are contented and , therefore, preferred to remain away from public affairs. Leaving the revenue from taxes and duties, the chief sources of income of the government of Kerala is from sale of liquor and from sale of lottery tickets. Despite having many avenues to raise our revenue multifold our non-professional governments are contented with availing as much loan as possible. The state, however, is surviving by the huge remittance of over Rs 1.5 lakhs crores per annum by our p...

         Tiger hiding in grass According to government reports as on February 1923, 637 people were killed by wild animals in Kerala during the past five years. As per another report of December 2023, 293 people were killed by tigers and 2657 by elephants in India during the preceding five years. Generally tigers attack human when they are injured or become old. When they are incapable of picking natural animals as prey they look for the easy game, human. In all, a total of 486 people were killed by wild animals during 2019-20 to 2023-24 period. 67 deaths were reported by the attack of wild animals between 2024 April and 2025 Match.

Here in Kerala man encroaching into the natural habitat of wild animals. Many even destroy the natural food and water sources of the poor wild beasts. And their r...

I have been writing here time and again about the huge availability of money for the government. Unfortunately instead of opting for it our own elected governments always prefer to squeeze the people as much as possible. According to three different sources of information, the black money available in India now is: a) Over $10 trillion b) Rs 900 lakhs crore c) As per unconfirmed report of the World Bank, 20% of our GDP is available in black money. A common man of this country, that is I myself, suggest once again to the Government of India, to give the black money holders opportunity to invest this money in some selected priority sectors without declaring the source of income, but by payment of the existing rate of basic income tax plus a 10% penalty. If about 50% of the black money could be pumped out through this offer it would be a big gain for the government. Please consider this and give relief to the people in petrol, cookingas and umpteen other things. And if this ca...

Prices of many grocery items and almost all vegetables have become unaffordable to common man. If there is a reason for this it is the Central and State Governments together to sort out the matter. When a democratic government do not allow it's people to eat their food within their paltry income, such governments are admitting their failure to rule the country. Since we have created, may be over a billion people, who cannot resist and even respond to whatever atrocities are created against them, they may subside to these and finally cease to exist. Earlier in Kerala, some political parties write all over the available places about the price rise and conduct umpteen number of meetings and asked the ruling government to quit. Now such writings or meetings are not found anywhere in the state. This shows that such parties were not showing sympathy to the people and trying to help them. It was mere political publicity! Whatever it may be, all concerned departments of the sta...

A 21 year old girl seeking employment was called to the house and raped by a Chief Secretary, a Labour Commissioner and a business man in our own country as per report by a leading Malayalam daily sometime back. Why it is repeated here because it is continued in different forms relentlessly. According to The Hindu dated August 21, 2024, it was reported that there were cases against 16 MPs and 135 MLAs  about crime against women. It is further said that it was based on an analysis of 755 out of 776 affidavits of sitting  MPd.3938 of 4033 MLAs from all 28 states and 8 union territories for the last five years.  What is the future of our country for women? What is the fate of the women in our country? Can we not say an effective no to this? Why can't this issue be brought into the root level of school syllabus? Why can't we impose much serious punishment f...
