If you are really serious about getting any of those coveted national awards, there are some short ways.
Try to get in to the VVIP medical team treating PM/President of India, etc. If you can then make them happy, you can get in to the list.
Examples:
"It seems doctors who treat VVIPs have a better chance at the awards. Ramakant Panda, who performed a multiple bypass cardiac surgery on the PM, was in the list as was former PM Vajpayee's knee surgeon Chitaranjan Ranawat. "

Why avoid Calicut food
So, you are a vegetarian. Happened to buy a veg biryani at Calicut Railway Station. But you got a chicken piece in the rice. So you throw the food away.
After few weeks, your friend also gets the same experience.
Lesson learned: There is no true veg food at Calicut railway station. Those vendors have their own definition of veg food: Try to remove meat from cooked non-veg food, and that's veg food.
Next time, your brother who is not a vegetarian, gets a packet of chappathi and chicken curry.He opens to find that the curry stinks of rotten meat. So, he throws it away and saves his stomach.
Final lesson: Veg or non-veg, avoid getting it from Calicut railway station food vendors. Or risk your health.

Icecream Kutty and Manorama
Media reports that Icecream Kutty's co-brother was arrested for fraud activities in Maharashtra. Same guy was earlier accused was running Malabar cements as his own family concern under the cool umbrella of Ice Cream Kutty.
Media including Mathrubhumi, Deepika and even India Vision know this. Naturally, people of Kerala know these facts.
However, only Malayala Manorama is not aware of the relationship between IceCreamKutty and his co-brother's true color! May be that is the ideal journalism standards of Manorama group.

TATAs should rule Kerala
It will be much better than the politician's corrupt rule. No wonder why politicians irrespective of the alliances are fretting over Munnar TATA empire.
First of all, KSEB should be taken over by TATA POWER. See how TATA's have been providing power to Mumbai for decades.

Locals are the moral police
Unnithan was 'cornered' by the Manjeri's heroic locals consisting of DYFI and PDP activists.
The locals are the moral police force in Manjeri. If the lights in any house are put on after 10 PM , the local moral police will break the doors and will spring in to action. They will hold any one in that household, and thoroughly check them to make sure that no immoral activity is going on.
If writer Sakharia (as he wrote in the KalaKaumudi weekly dated Jan 10, 2010) believes that breaking in to any house after dusk is a crime under IPC, well, that is not applicable to local moral police. Physically holding any one against his/her wishes is also not a crime under IPC, if done by the local moral police. If any one protests such forceful breaking in to any house by the local moral police, well, that will be a crime to be handled by the local real police.
After all, who is better qualified to be the commanders of the local moral police other than the PDP activists!

Athirappally project and KSEB
KSEB engineers association wants the project to be executed for the benefit of the consumers in Kerala.
If the project is not executed KSEB will incur significant loss because of the need to buy power from outside at the exorbitant price of Rs.16 per unit. However there is no proof for this rate. In fact, the proof says that the rate paid for import of power was only around Rs.8.00 .
As in the past, KSEB is always interested in taking care of the environmental impacts of any new project. KSEB always carry out environmental impact studies which always comes out with supporting reports favouring any new power project in Kerala.
No, KSEB engineers are not interested in the prospects of getting more promotional chances at the outset of a new project. Just interested only in providing cheaper power to the consumers.
Already KSEB staff is overloaded with the work. That's why the meter reading person could not carry few papers to be distributed to the residential consumers regarding the new deposit collection orders. In fact, each meter reading person was accompanied by another staff member just to distribute the notice of deposit collection to all consumers. As seen by all consumers, this was necessitated by the simple fact that the lone meter reading staff was already overloaded by carrying an ordinary notebook with some consumer details.
Any new project? KSEB will conduct the environmental impact study to save the environment, not to save the excess staff. Now if you ask any project having negative environmental impact, well , so far none. KSEB never expects any in future too. All projects are welcome. Also, new innovative ideas like more deposit collection steps like one year's estimated consumption dues as deposit...wow that's a great idea!

Keralites are cowards: M M Hassan
That was the response of M M Hassan to the hartal call by BMS during a discussion on IndiaVision TV channel on Monday, Dec 28.
No doubt that's why Mr.Hassan got elected to the assembly by the scared people of his constituency. No wonder why passengers at the TVM airport usually request the ticketing staff to allot seats far from Mr.Hassan.

Hartal: Way to get famous?
It seems that's what the expert advice BMS received from someone. They should have also been told that Hartal is nothing but "Hurt All". Kerala BMS needs to grow a little more to realize that.

CPM-UDF competition goes on
They were competing to hug Madani inside the jail and outside. While UDF could not win the race of hugging Madani outside, CPM received great accolades from the people for hugging him.
Now both the fronts are in another race of keeping off from Madani.
What a pity!

Sell Kerala, Save Dubai
This is what a prominent leader of UDF has demanded upon his return from his first home in Dubai at Nedumbasseri airport.
According to him, if the Kerala Govt does not yield to all the demands of the Teecom group of Dubai, Keralites in UAE will lose their jobs! So, if the Teecom group demands the right-to-sell SmartCity land in Kerala, that should be agreed to.
May be, these type of politicians who have millions of dollars worth business interests in Dubai, will even sell their mother land to help Dubai world.
After all, what is Mother Land to such political entities...just a place to do what ever they want, live lavish with all that black money, yet cling on every Govt job under the banner of poor minority class,.....

Railways IRCTC hygiene standards
They open the doors with the same hand. May be they do not even wash the hands often.
They handle cash and change with the same hand. The coins which passed through so many beggars, etc, are handled by the IRCTC servers with the same bare hand with which they serve you pazam pori, parippu vada, even tomato juice mixed with bread crumbs using the dirty hands.
You are the unimportant railway passenger who have no other choice but consume these dirty stuff just because you are no where near any railway station. This is the same situation whether you are travelling by the a/c or non a/c class.
But solution is not far away. All you have to do is to ask them to serve wearing hand gloves which is readily available in the pantry car. Wear it or they lose your business!
It works as seen in the photo below!

Adbutha Saithan shakes Congress
He gave headache to CPM, while being a CPM MP. Then he jumped the fence to Congress camp, using Narendra Modi as a pole.
Now, his candidature has opened a can of worms in the Congress.
May be he is on the way to the dead horse (thanks to Nehru).

Cheating: IRCTC way
Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation: Wow ! What a lengthy name?
They serve you 100 ml tea, coffee and charge you for 125 ml. If you insist on the right quantity, the supplier will throw abuse. If you stand up and demand, he will oblige.
This is what I observed on a trip from Ahamedabd to Kerala on 14th of November by Okha express. I had to threaten to hold him there forever to get the right quantity for an elderly couple sitting next to me.
Breakfast/ Dinner: You are supposed to get a sealed container of drinking water which costs about Rs 3.25. The price is already included in the meals price. But they just do not serve water for breakfast and dinner. Why? It seems they do not get the supply from somewhere. But they charge you for a non-supplied item anyway.
This is happening regularly in almost every trains. Each time, they make an unaccounted profit of more than Rs.3000.00 (assuming there are at least 1000 passenger orders) per train, running into lakhs of rupees on an all India basis.
Ministers Mamta Banerjee is enjoying the privileged life in the Capital, E Ahmed is touring around enjoying the best food , and ordinary fellows are spending through their nose for something which they never get !
Tail piece: Tata Docomo was quick to respond to a consumer complaint posted on this blog. They are offering full talk time for all online recharges above Rs.100, and for Rs.100 recharge made otherways. Appreciating their quick response, the said post has been removed.

Shashi Tharoor in the wrong path
Well, that's what I felt when I saw Shashi hanging out in the notorious violence prone streets of Kannur politics. That he is new to this area, most possibly not well informed about the backgrounds of political criminals leading some organizations, can only be an excuse. But is would be prudent for him not to get involved with such low level political (criminal) activities , and keep away from them just like Shri A K Antony.
Is he aware of the fact that the candidate he was canvassing for , was brought up by the present opposing side, was made it's state leader of student wing, and was fielded in the earlier elections just to exploit the communal feelings of a 'hard core communal' community? Does Mr.Shashi know that the same shameless kutty started his first term as an MP with just 100 rupees in his pocket , but amassed more than 35 lakhs within few years by 'serving' the people? Does Mr.Sahshi know that the Kutty has become a gulf business man using the position of an MP?
It is a shame that an internationally known , respected intellectual/writer and a former under secretary general of UN is stooping to these low levels just because he owes allegiance to the present Kannur MP, who is known for his criminal tactics as well. Oh yes , we remember the cattle usage related solidarity from Kannur MP .

Why defeat a shameless KUTTY?
Twice he enjoyed the perks of an MP by acting as a communist. The communists were eager to exploit his minority background to snatch the sure seat of Mullappalli. Today's big man MP also contributed to own party's candidate, Mullappalli's defeat.
It was the visionary, late Nayanar who in party meetings openly questioned Kutty's credibility. But minority appeasement policy had the upper hand.
After realising his capacity as a business man, KUTTY started his Gulf business (still was a communist). Then he fell in love with Narendra Mody over the later's business promotion policy, though opposing his anti-terrorist approach. Throwing a well designed stick, he got expelled by the party. His plans were working as he had planned.
Dressed in Khadi, he crossed over to Congress to get in to a safe asylum for a 'helpless' minority candidate. Unable to accept a fellow congress man becoming a MLA, the current MP projected this shameless KUTTI as his own protege. Moreover NDF also wants none other than their own man to be the the MLA of Kannur. After all, how can beneficiaries like the '800 votes MP' from Calicut, forget/ignore NDF?
All these developments have left the KUTTY bleeping like a goat in the media!
It is up to the secular minded, politically conscious people of Kannur to decide why they should elect a gulf based business man to project their issues in the law makers house.

Well, we needed someone of the stature of Shashi Tharoor to remind us the importance of travelling by cattle class. I admit , even I have made some introspection only after the cattle class uproar came in the media. Some of the features are outstanding.
Free ride for roaches is not limited to cattle class alone. Even if you pay more to get it in to the a/c class, you can see hundreds of visitors from roach family visiting you , just to say Hi, and running away because they are too shy to stay with some one from the cattle class. This happened to me while travelling from New Delhi to Trichur by Kerala Express in a two tier A/C coach. Hundreds of roaches came to see me off at New Delhi rly station, but just disappeared when the A/C started functioning. I believe, it is nothing other than realising the status of a regular cattle class fellow which prompted even the roaches to discard me. So, I appreciate Shashi Tharoor's solidarity with us.
If you travel by cattle class, it is better to sit somewhere between the seats 15 to 65. Otherwise , it would be wiser to have a pair of nose plugs so that you do not have to inhale the urine smell from the toilets through out your journey. There are instances when I prefered to cancel and re-book my online reservation upon realizing that I was assigned one of those so called 'railway perfume seats' .
More than anyone else, it was former minister Ladoo Prasad who gave serious consideration for the cattle class. He introduced the additional side berth , because he had the foresight to see that more cattle means more income. Even IIM's had special guest lecture sessions from this cattle leader who claimed 'Milk your cow more - you make More money and the Cow lives longer too '.
So, extending his 'the more - the merrier' concept, he added so many berths but they were removed on protests by some big cattle who complained that there were too many bulls after too many cows.
Now that Ladoo is no more a minister, he must be contemplating on the next cattle project to be initiated when he returns to power either in the state level or central level. After all he is remembered by us for the meticulously planned cattle project which someone wrongly called 'The cattle fodder' scam.
In essence, we need a real cattle leader to lead the cattle class.

Please put on your footwear and come inside
In western countries, you are not allowed to enter any office without footwear.
But, we, Keralites are hygienic by birth. So hygienic that we think twice about wearing our footwear even before entering any office (removing footwear inside a public office can often be mistaken as a preparatory step to violence - remember Bush in Iraq).
Internet cafe's in Kerala will not allow you to enter unless you remove your footwear and keep it as far as away from the main door! This practice was started as a respect to computers when they arrived sometime during last century. But smoking beedi is not an issue while sitting in those world's smallest cubicles.
Photo studio's won't let you smile anywhere near the camera unless you remove your footwear.
So, in time, people decided to enter barefoot only any office where there is a computer.
Now comes globalization, and all those multi-national companies, like banks, insurance, etc.
Naturally dozens of shoes, slippers outside each branch. Customers usually spend more time searching for the better footwear.
Globalization means more competition among banks. So, how to attract more customers? Time for a creative idea for someone with a public sector bank branch in central Kerala. Just hang a board outside the branch "You can come inside wearing your footwear".

Janata Dal joins UDF
Great relief! Finally Express Highway will get approval from the political animal who single handedly used his 'free' press establishment to sabotage that project while UDF was in power last.
Millions of ordinary Keralites will benefit out of his grace.

Sashi Tharoor and Holy cows
Well, Shashi got it wrong. They are not just Holy cows, but political holy cows. He will get more shocks in time, when he learns about the personal assets each of those cows have amassed from politics.
By the way, Shashi made the right choice in joining Indian politics. There will be more and more ripples and controversies whenever he opens his mouth/scribbles anywhere. And of course, Bill Clinton is eagerly waiting for Shashi's next book on The Art of Being a Holy Cow.

Indian Oil Customer Service
Indian Oil web site http://www.iocl.com/Products/Indanegas.aspx says:
"Customer Service Cell is operated in the Area Office during working Hours/ days. This cell is backed up by an Officer and a telephone for responding / attending to Customer grievances/ suggestions/queries. Please select your state to know the customer service cell number of your nearest area office. "
Area Office Toll Free Number
Kochi 0484 2310859
So, you decide to complain about an Indane gas dealer who does not pick up his business phone, sells gas cylinders in the black market, delays delivery to domestic customers, and often syphons off gas from the cylinders and deliver under weight cylinders. But even the customer service cell number rings, rings, and just rings.
The lesson: Indian Oil customer service motto - Simply sitting and monthly getting !
