According to media reports, the Central Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Sri Nitin Gadkari informed that pot holes of the roads across the country shall be got repaired. As per available information the state of Kerala has a road network consisting of 11 National Highways, 72 State Highways and a good number District Roads. Since the present offer by the minister is restricted for 11 NH only, the huge number of State and District Roads which are full of potholes and other serious damages are not to be taken up by the Central Ministry.

It maybe be noted that there were 43,910 road accidents in Kerala in 2022 killing 4,317 and injuring 49,307 people. Accident rate i

If we pick children between the age group of 6 and 10 at the school level and give training in various athletics disciplines for a few years it may  have wonderful results. After observing the performance for sometime target can be set for their respective discipline at National, Asian, International and Olympic levels. Those who achieve the set mark can be selected for the relevant competition. During the final training for the concerned event, their targets can be raised to confirm the final level. This can be done in every athletic discipline. Continuous professional training, proper food and relaxed mind will certainly enable an Indian athlete to reach the top layer of the world of athletics.

If he is young, his look, body, dancing perfection etc also contribute to the popularity. Once a leading actor enter into politics and tries his luck in election, instantly his fans get divided. And many of them become rivals too. This rivalry continue throughout the life. Even if he retires from politics the rivalry continue.

Our top four batsmen fell within ten overs with a paltry few runs on the board. This is repeatedly happening in the recent past but no one bothers.  Our media must be the first culprit in spoiling the players. The media use to praise all top players with such amount of words that make each player think that they are the best in the world. On the other hand they don't pick and show a single error. Over and above these, the players feel that they have other modes of better earning now. But they fail to understand that if they don't perform well in international matches all income will suddenly end. If BCCI can do som
