Functions like marriages always bring joy and smile for the people who are part of it. So does Simile’s marriage. We had a great time. Well, suffixing a “chechi” with the above name makes me less arrogant but at the cost of poor readability. Whatsoever it may be Simile is Varun’s sister. It’s after a long time I attend a marriage outside Kannur. As such ma primary duty was to list the difference in the functions in that part of the state. Together with that I made comments to Niju and Praveesh so as to conclude the marriages at Kannur are much better. But even then I liked a function at that place. After the marriage ceremony the Bride’s mother brought two glasses of milk. The Bride and the Groom drank a little of it and then exchanged the glasses. To mention another difference that I noticed, the married couples will stay at bride’s house for couple of days…..

As a whole we had awesome  time there…

Yet another Hathal. Now a day’s people have placed harthals among Onam, Vishu etc. I feel Harthal is a good way to “build a brand”. No matter which party calls for a  Harthal they are able to make people aware of their presence in the Politics or in the society. But a million dollar question left is “Did ever any harthal produced fruitful results?” many harthals have been “conducted” successfully for many reasons, but did they ever make any difference..?????

To make a difference from the rest today’s harthal, the organizers are abounding Train Service also… Soon harthal’s will be applicable to Air Service too.

Some of the usual outcomes of a normal harthal are: (not in any order )

Loss of Public wealth

Difficulty to Common People

Difficulty to Tourists (they feels to quit from here ASAP)

Loss of work for the daily wages class.

Financial Loss to the Government (in many many regards)

Lack of transportation makes conditions miserable for Patients and to handle emergency situations etc.

Many more…listing this much for time now…

Any how, I wish you all a happy Harthal…enjoy the day…

Last week I accompanied ma frined for shopping. It was me who asked him to give a try to Supplyco. I had seen an advertisement of it in the town. All necessary food items are sold at a very low price. I just wanted to know the truth in it. So we both reached at the Supplyco. If my memory serves good I am going there after 5 or 6 years. To ma surprise hardly any changes there other than for the young lady at the billing counter. On entering I saw that almost all stands were deserted. Saw a label saying “Good quality sugar at low price” but I think even the Tea the workers had no sugar. Same with Rice and other items. Only good looking adds about the slashed rates, can’t find any items inconveniently mentioned in those ads.

The real stuff that made me to write this post is the Wheat(Atta) Stand. It was said wheat powder at 15/kg or so. I told ma friend “it’s good to get wheat at that rate…”. I took three packets. Before putting it into the basket I checked the rate. Raidco is the producer. So I thought Govt is selling at a subsidized rate. And the subsidized rate is 33.00/kg.

So where has the 15 Rupee Atta disappeared…??? Is 33/kg the slashed rate….

അഹങ്കാരം പറയുകയല്ല …എന്നാലും പറയട്ടെ ,വേണമെങ്കില്‍ ഇതിലും ചെറിയ രൂപക്ക് ഞാന്‍ വില്കാം

We say the public is going behind new generation supermarkets. But why do they go? It’s only because the government and the Government undertakings fail miserably to deliver quality goods at acceptable rates. No matter who rules , the departments like Supplyco , maveli Store etc have witnessed a remarkable degradation in their services to the public

For almost a month i had not made any scribblings here. Was lil busy with exams and all….

stay connected …more updates soon…
