Normal And Abnormal

After the conference of the priests of the Church, the Apostolic Administrator was to be escorted by police to come out. How pathetic the priesthood have fallen in the minds of the ordinary members of the Church and public as a whole. It is not the first time that similar untoward things  happen in the Church. A few weeks earlier, according to a video spread in the society,  in an identical circumstance a good number of people were fighting each other with wooden logs and iron bars in front of the office of the Cardinal.  Subsequently many were reported to have admitted in the hospital with injuries. Another video shows that a priest performing a holy mass was pushed out from the Sanctum Sanctorum and the Holy Books etc were thrown out from there. What went wrong with the Church? The simple answer would be - the excess wealth of the Church. Where wealth is accumulated, power and corruption are likely to be flying around there. Sometime back, as per media repor...

A news report appeared in a leading Malayalam daily says that the road accident caused by dangerous pot holes on road is a homicide. It is a serious allegation. If it is a homicide, could it be a culpable homicide too. If the answer is positive, who would be the culprit. When a human life is lost with no cause by the deceased, someone should be responsible for this death. If the so called culprit could be found, such one should certainly be punished. The media and the legal community may sit together and find an answer for this as early as possible, so that recurrence of such homicides can be prevented in the future. The prime point to be detected is the criteria by which the offence is fixed on someone within the existing legal system. K V George 

The  State of Kerala is struggling hard to match the earnings with spending. Things are reported to be getting worsen every passing day. The successive governments ruled the state have made no any appreciable efforts to raise the income of the state. Instead they all depending on sale of alcohol on a very high price, selling dreams to the people in the form of lottery tickets or availing loan from all available sources. They all did the same mistake of not repaying the money they have taken as loan. Instead they passed it on the successive government. Now it has reached to a red hot state that no one can handle it. None seemed to have given due consideration to this money, as it is not theirs but belongs to the people as a whole. Unfortunately the people too  have not come to question the lavish spending of their money. At least now they should wake up and try to find the source of every rupee received in the exchequer and where it is being spent. And also keenly w...

As per available information there are over 5 lakhs people employed in various government departments in Kerala. Of late media reports continuously about the hardships faced by the government in paying their salary and other benifits in time. While it is the dream of the people to secure employment in the government, political parties reported to have put their best efforts to induct their near and dear for these jobs. Now, the democratically elected government may consider the existing financial situation of the state and restructure the government employment system prevailing in the state in the following manner. 1. Introduce voluntary retirement scheme in the state. Try to bring down the staff by 10%, or more, by VRS. 2. Suspend fresh recruitment for a minimum period of three years. In the case of emergency requirements suitable staff may be got transferred from other departments. 3. Anyone found involved in corruptive practices may be dismissed forthwith. 4. In order to...

For quite sometime the fishing community in Kerala have been trying to highlight their adversity at various levels. Unfortunately no one could offer a lasting solution for these. Petty helps like subsidised food or kerosene or something of that sort would do nothing to uplift this oppressed community. More effective and lasting approaches should be adopted. The easy and simple methods towards this is suggested below. All concerned may go through this and find means to implement this. Sometimes back a leading Malayalam daily reported a news bit on fish price. 'Sardine fishes auctioned at Kochi fishing harbour for about Rs 25/- per kg was sold at the main road side half a kilometre away for Rs 65/-. This is continued everywhere in Kerala. The state government may interfere in this and facilitate the fishermen to sell their catches to the ultimate consumer. Government can arrange to provide them transport vehicles and sales outlets all over the stat...
