WB Woes!

The Tata Group is known for its commitments and a large presence in philanthrophical activities. It was actually a philanthropical decision when the Tatas decided to have their Rs. 1 Lakh car dream project based out of West Bengal. Coming from a state ruled by communists, many an eyebrows were raised, but the reassurance for a pro-business Chief Minister set the ball rolling.

But, India is after all India and the dirty politics will continue. Sensing a chance to score some brownie points, Mamata Banerjee joined hands with the remaining 40% of the people who were unwilling to lend their lands for this mega project. She even claimed "harassment" by police during on of her "shows" of protest and now it has snowballed into a big-time political drama with other political parties getting into the milieu.

According to this report from TOI, the Tata Group is seriously considering to withdraw their propsed plant from West Bengal because of this anti-business climate prevailing in WB.

Gosh, will these politicians ever learn?? Any guy with some common sense will understand that any industrial activity around a particular city will only help the city in mainfolds. But still a section of the illiterate poor folks of India fall for this trap of politicians! Grow up!

A case in point of industrial development is the place where my office is located. Saravanampatti was a small-time village with hardly any population other than that of the natives who had settled here long time back. In fact, 5 years back, this place was hardly civilized with only one or two shops. But with the onset of many MNCs opening shop here, this place is abuzz with activity. In fact, the city police has classified this road as city limits!

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
