The  attack on  Oommen Chandy Today is a sad and dark day for  Kerala.  The Honourable  Chief Minister of  Kerala, Shri Oommen Chandy   was  attacked and injured  by  CPM goondas  at Kannur. This is an unprecedented incident  in the history of Kerala, and most  probably in the history of India. For the first time, a Chief Minister has been attacked and injured in stone-throwing  in broad daylight  by a bunch of hooligans. Every   democratically - minded Keralite  should  hang  his/her head in shame following this ugly episode, which is a total disgrace to the state. This is not a matter that affects only Oommen Chandy and his party, but it's a matter of great concern to every peace-loving  Malayalee. If the Chief Minister of the state has no safety in broad daylight, what about the safety of the ordinary citizens? Of late, lawlessness has been on the rise i...

DELAREYVILLE 22 OCTOBER  2013 Much- expected  rains have finally  fallen, lowering temperatures  and cooling our  minds.Even though  the rainfall in this area  has been limited, the cooling effect of heavy rains in other parts of the country  has been  felt  here also.

The  Grade 12 learners of Bakolobeng  Secondary  School  start their exams on 28th October, with  English FAL  Paper 1. Study methods and writing strategies have already been given,but no effort is excessive in encouraging and motivating the learners to do their utmost to produce excellent results. Brutus There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune: Omitted, all the voyage of their life, Is bound in  shallows and  miseries.   ( Julius  Caesar, A...

     THE   BIRTH  OF  THATTIPPU   NADU    (  SATIRE ) 2014  is written  in golden letters in the history  of  Kerala  because some  dramatic events took place in that historic year. First, in the Lok Sabha  elections the UDF  was  routed, not because of the popularity  of the LDF, but  because of the pent up wrath  of the general  public, caused by daily scandals, corruption, fraud saga, in-fighting  and backstabbing  among the coalition partners, the foul-mouthed  utterances  of  some leaders etc etc ,which  was unleashed into the ballot machines  with a  vengeance. The UDF  emerged as '' sampoojyar'', which means to  emerge with some zeroes. Thereafter, the UDF  was  known as the Utterly  Defeated  Front ! After the defeat, the red-nosed  Congress leaders were summoned by S...

CRY  THE BELOVED  COUNTRY   ( OPINION ) 26  SEPTEMBER  2013   In 1948, the great  South African novelist, Alan Paton, published his novel, ' Cry  the beloved Country ', which  unravelled the pain and  suffering  caused  to blacks and  whites  in South Africa, as a result  of the injustices  of  apartheid. The  whites also suffered  during apartheid , in the form of  attacks  by black criminals on them, resulting  in unnecessary  loss of lives. The title ' Cry the Beloved Country ' can be applied to Kerala today, as shocking  revelations of  crimes, fraud and theft  involving  glob-trotting  elite criminals, with links to  politicians, Govt.officials, film stars, big business etc etc, emerge one after  the other, like a relay race, with  perfect baton change. The fraud in Kerala has reached a point of no return...

The organizers of this event had been working very hard  for the success of this event  for many months, looking for a suitable venue, raising funds,etc etc. To describe the importance and the excitement of  Matric Farewell  would be like carrying coal to Newcastle. It's their dream day, full of excitement, high expectations, splendour   and spending on glittering attires. The choice of the venue- Taung  Tusks Resort  at Taung, 150 Kms  from Delareyville, was ideal.  The  students, teachers and two SGB  members...

                THE   PSYCHOLOGY  OF THATTIPPU (OPINION )                      Duncan         There's no art          To find the mind's construction in the face:          He was a gentleman  on whom I built          An absolute  trust   ( Macbeth  Act I Scene 4 )         These  words of King Duncan, in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth,perfectly   fits all cases of fraud or betrayal.
