Parasites

My friend was annoyed. It was after a long lacuna he visited Kerala. The bitter experiences he had to face from most of the places were annoying, disgusting and frustrating- according to him. Exploitation to the core was rampant among almost all – relatives, friends, taxi drivers, officials, politicians  - all were  expecting money and gifts in kinds from him. The crime he did – he went abroad in search of a job. None was interested in the hardships he had to endure, long hours of hard work, issues arising from the cultural differences, perpetual tension in the work place which were not  accepted by “his people” – be they relatives, friends, neighbors, own villagers, politicians.  Experts in Geography and General Knowledge  to them even poverty stricken African countries are like Eden, where milk and honey flows and money is got at the shake of the tree! All were competing to get, get more and more from him. Drivers charging extra against the rules, even suppliers of ordinary hotels expect huge tips, officials expecting for prompt services and if not delaying the services for silly reasons.  The villages and cities alike were made dirty – he felt the minds of the people are dirtiest. No one is responsible and  are devoid of diligence. Those who criticises the old kings and kingdoms could not maintain the work of those they are against, leave alone creating something new. Government is seeking assistance from others and “others” in turn from the government. Most of them are interested in getting and their concentration is mainly on those Pravasies, even those who have left Kerala, not necessarily abroad. What a pity?

Electoral Mandate

After 30 long years, a single political party was elected to lead the country – by the people, for the people. The oppositions – be it Congress or Communists, ruled and ruined the country and people chose a change. On what basis those who were defeated by the people try to find excuses for their fiasco? To some it is Modi’s strategies – so what, he did something which were accepted by the people. And what is the idea of finding fault with the selection of the people? To some even though BJP was elected there are discordance among them – so what? The voters did not want those critics and went for the pragmatic person, party.  Finding fault with, finding excuses is belittling and befooling the public – which the fools failed and even fail to comprehend. They go on with the old worn out tactics, finding fault with others and trying in vain, again to make the public fools and victims. When will wisdom dawn on them – that times have changed, and they should think of serving the public, their interests and not fighting for power and indulge in destructive criticisms??? It is high time the oppositions put an end to baseless allegations and waste criminally the precious time of the public. Objecting on silly issues where there more important issues to be addressed to, making obscene scenes in the halls,  walking off from the assembly or parliament all amount to acting against the public interest. Like it or not the BJP is going to be in power, since the people wanted so.  Let the other parties learn from the experience – at the end of the day it is the people who will meet with success.
