At last the hot weather has calmed down and it has been raining heavily in Kerala for the past two days. Also, the Legislative Assembly Elections are also going on and everyone are anxious to know whether the rains are going to affect the counting. The meteorology department of Kerala has issued a warning to the fisherman not to go fishing as the waves can go upto 3 meters high in the coastal areas.
It is the same situation in Tamil Nadu, Kolkata, and Assam. Relief camps and... rescue operation are put on standby in TN, just in case anything happens like the flood that occurred in December. In Assam, 16 are injured due to landslides. Kolkata is bracing itself for the storms that are expected to move in the north-east direction.
The misery is not only in the Indian states but also in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The torrential rainfall has caused a massive landslide due to which more than 200 families have gone missing. This has occurred in a very remote area in Sri Lanka due to which rescue operations crew have to walk and start digging with their hands before any heavy equipments can reach up there.
The sad part of the story is the media will brutally neglect these news tomorrow and in the coming days as they have 'more tempting pastures' in the form of elections and subsequent dirty linen washing. Quite Ironically, even the Jisha murder case is like something happened a decade ago for these 'sensationalists'. Majority of the sympathies or the acts of it are only soulless bodies. Let us be wise enough to identify any vested interests coming to us wrapped in attractive covers! 🙂

Shadow Cabinet in Kerala

A new cabinet has taken oath on Saturday. Now you all may be wondering- "Which cabinet is he taking about? There are a few more days left for the Karnataka election". No, I am not talking about the Karnataka government. I am talking about a shadow cabinet that has been formed in Kerala.  There is not much reported by the media about it, as usual, but the shadow cabinet has been formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions and making it 'public-friendly'. The most interesting fact is that it is composed not by any politicians or run by any party, but by the civilians.  Now all of you might be wanting to know more about 'Shadow Cabinet', so I have looked up in the internet and found out what it really is, so as to give you a more clearer idea of what it actually is- " A shadow cabinet is an alternative cabinet formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions. Often the Opposition comprises a shadow cabinet, but in this case, ...

Heading towards a Third World War?

-
Recently, North Korea, or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK), have been testing out nuclear warheads and other deadly military equipments. When asked why they are doing so, they said they want to attain equilibrium with the United States of America (USA). Now, think about this. The first world war took place because of military superiority. Britain was a superior country in terms of military power. Germany wanted to achieve equilibrium with Britain. What I am trying to say is even DPRK is following the path of Germany of that time. If this issue continues, there is going to be serious issues which can even wipe out human beings from Earth. The United Nations Security Council should not only take strict action against DPRK, but should also make necessary decisions and  put it in the form of a resolution that all countries, irrespective of its size or population maintain an army as prescribed by the Security Council. In this way, we can prevent a possible Third world ...

The Lankan Crisis- All You Need To Know

On October 26, the President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena had sacked the Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe and had appointed former President, Mahinda Rajapaksa with immediate effect. This came as a shocker for all the Sri Lankans and caused a widespread protest and riots. Sirisena was known to be a gentle person and little did they know that he was a 'wolf disguised in a sheep's clothing'. Maithripala Sirisena The fact to be noted is that the nation’s President and Prime Minister come from traditionally opposing parties that formed a surprise coalition in 2015 to oust the then-president Mahinda Rajapaksa, who many feared was becoming too powerful. In the past two years, this ruling coalition has started to fall apart. It is dysfunctional and unpopular with the Sri Lankan public. Since at least February this year, president Maithripala Sirisena has been searching for ways to remove the prime minister, Ranil Wickremasinghe. On October 26th, he...
