TOMORROW'S HEADLINES IN INDIA ( Opinion )

 May  16th  will be  a day to be remembered in India, like June 16th in S.
Africa. Whatever  be the outcome of the elections in India, the people of
India  have  already won. The  victory is in terms of the  peaceful manner
in which  millions  and millions of people throughout the country exercised
their  democratic right without fear or  undue pressure. It was the most
amazing  democratic  process in  human history. Despite the flaws in  the
system in India, it's the only option available to the people. They  have the
power to unseat those in power, using the ballot  box.

May  16th  is the day of the counting of votes. All  kinds of exit polls
have already been  done. All  scenarios  have been  exhausted. Tomorrow's
headlines  can run like this :

National

'' NDA   clinches  victory. "

'' BJP  35  seats  short of  majority.''

'' Congress  routed  in many  states.''

''  Modi   to be the new P.M. "

'' Jayalalitha,  Mamatha  and  Naveen  offer  conditional  support.''

'' Setback  for  AAP."


KERALA

UDF   12,  LDF  8

'' Even though  our  seats  are reduced, we have the people's  support.''
Oommen   Chandy.


"  The  Congress  played the communal  card  to woo voters.'' Pinarayi

''  The  loss of seats  will be  investigated .''  Sudheeran

'' Increase in votes for BJP, but no seats.''

''  Kerala, a state without any minister in the Central Cabinet."

LDF  13    UDF   7

"  I  take responsibility for the defeat, and hereby tender my resignation as
   Chief  Minister. "   Oommen  Chandy.

'' The  UDF  government  should  resign  immediately.''  VS

'' Infighting  in the  Congress caused the debacle.''  PC  George

''  Resign  immediately, or face  an  indefinite campaign to oust the
 unpopular   government.''  Pinarayi

''  The  election was based on  national issues, and not on state issues. So
    there's  no need to resign. "  KM  Mani

The  fall

 
 
out   will continue  for a  long time .

A POEM FOR BAKOLOBENG STUDENTS

            A  poem   for  Bakolobeng    students  April   25th   was  a memorable   day  at  Bakolobeng   Secondary   School for   many   reasons. It  was the  last working  day of the  month  due to  a  long   weekend and  extended  special  school  holidays. For  me and  for Mrs. Visser, the  Principal, it was  our  last day  in our  careers. By  a  lucky coincidence, it was  my birthday. I   heard  that  the teachers, students  and the School  Governing  Body members  had  planned  a  special assembly  to  honour us. I thought  that the assembly  was  after  lessons, but  they  wanted to ...

The attack on Oommen Chandy-a Pravasi's perspective ( opinion)

The  attack on  Oommen  Chandy- a  Pravasi's  perspective   ( opnion ) The vicious attack  on Honourable  Chief Minister  Sri Oommen Chandy  at  Kannur, allegedly by CPM goondas, has shocked and  saddened  civilised , peace-loving  Malayalees  in India  and abroad. But , unfortunately, there are some people ,who are uncivilised anarchists  who celebrate ,rejoice, and justify  the cowardly and barbaric attack  on the Chief Minister. They are happy that , at least, one of them was able to injure Ommen Chandy, and of course there are others who regret that he escaped death. Such people can be found on the social media, making crude jokes about  Sri  Chandy's injury. It's  a true reflection of the scum that are baying for the blood of Oommen  Chandy. Some gutter channels play second fiddle to these  barbarians ! But  every  decent Malayalee...
