Red Sunrise!

As the title suggests, the Assembly polls for the four states that concluded yesterday puts the read party (Communists) and the Sun group family... oops, sorry, the DMK in the forefront.

DMK and its allies won the TN polls and in all likelihood, TamilNadu is going to see its first coalition government.

Kerala and West Bengal got swept by the Left Democratic Front and Assam got a hung assembly.

Though am one of the least interested in politics since childhood, I have started an inkling towards it as it fodders me with even laughter material when there are no comedy shows running in TV.

What's in store @ TamilNadu?
The emergence of SUN Group as the most powerful media in Southern India. Dayanidhi Maran contesting for the PM post in the near future. Free Color TVs for all, rice at Rs. 2, no need to pay back your loans etc. etc...

As for Jayalalithaa... pretty soon the DMK is going to dig up all her disproportionate asset cases... So it's Jail, Lalithaa!

Would like to quote what my mom had observed when she heard about all the freebies thrown in by both the parties. If DMK is "really" planning to give free color TVs and ration rice at Rs. 2, and waivering off their loans, then people are going to become more lazy and sit at home and work less! There's a point in it mom...

What's in store @ Kerala?
More strikes. Two days work week for government employees, etc. etc. Really, it's God's Own Country! The same theory of my mom applies here too.

What's in store @ WB?
I have no idea! But hope Ganguly comes back to play international cricket!

PS: As a sidekick to all this political drama, here's a - "india tholaikatchikalil, mudal murayaka" video - our our great T. Rajendar singing all praises for the "varumkala mudal amaichar". Thanks to Chandru for forwarding it.

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
