SORRY, POLITICIANS ( OPINION)

I really feel sorry for the politicians in Kerala across party lines, in their desperate scramble to get a nomination to get a seat 💺 to contest the forthcoming elections .It's like climbing into an already overloaded bus .Everybody wants to get a foothold .Only the top magicians can solve the problem of seat allocation .In the UDF ,Oommen Chandy is the most experienced magician .His survival as CM for five years ,against mammoth odds proved his extraordinary  skills as a political magician .

Seat at allocation is like a miracle performed by Jesus Christ .He fed a large crowd of 5000 people with five loaves of bread 🍞. In Kerala, a large crowd is clamoring for seats. In one respect, Kerala politicians are more decent than the seat aspirants of North India. There the aspirants set up ⛺ tents near Party Head Offices many weeks before the seat allocation, or tickets, and clashes break out when the tickets are announced. Kerala politicians are matured and patient.

It's like a poor harvest ,and too many unemployed workers seeking jobs .


The aspirants for tickets have to undergo a baptism by 🔥 before a ticket can be issued .All factors need to be considered in choosing a candidate .For example the religion and jathi are pivotal factors .The aspirants are not satisfied with getting a seat ,but they want seats that are safe .

140 seats and hundreds of aspirants ,and inflated demands from alliance partners .It's very interesting to see how the magic is going to unfold .

The seat- sharing crisis can be resolved in three ways.First ,amend the electoral law to bar all candidates above the age of 65.Secondly ,split the constituencies into two ,raising the number of seats to 280.Thirdly ,reduce the term of the assembly to three years .In this way ,more politicians can be accommodated .

In a true democracy ,the political playing field should be levelled so that everyone gets a piece of the cake 🎂 .

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...
