Gods own country or Dogs own country

The people of Kerala pride themselves on being called the residents of The Gods Own Country. With the scenic beauty, the climate, the flora and fauna etc Kerala is indeed the Gods own country. But now ,due to the peoples behaviour, their conduct etc Kerala is almost gone down to dogs own country.

The problems which are being created include, rash driving of people, improper behaviour of persons like not maintaining the cleanliness on road, the defiance of laws etc. Also, the informative boards which have been placed to inform about humps or turns on the road, have been covered up with political parties sticker. Cutting down of trees, poaching, more vehichles resulting in an increase in pollution, the lack of action of people towards corruption and other atrocities taking place have all contributed to the same. We all know that we too have contributed to each of these in some way.

Since we are also involved in this, we cannot just blame the politicians or the people in power. We have to initiate some action. Lets all do our part to rid our state of the same and hopefully it gets back to being the old God's own Country, which the present generation have only heard of.

Love the Country Not The Party

Whenever a malayali hears of a Hartal, his face lits up with joy because of the fact that its a holiday. Well, is this the right attitude? Its time to question ourselves.

We can see a regular scenerio whereby on a Hartal day lot of vehichles being burnt down, shops destructed etc. Is this the right way of protesting? Politicians or political parties who are supposed to serve the public are causing all this havoc. As a result of this a daily wage earner loses his revenue. Is this correct? Ask ourselves whether the politicians who are involved in all this love the country or are they trying to fill themselves up? A logical thinker would have only one answer to this question.

How can i (which is small) alone solve this issue through this even smaller blog? Think about it. Let us, the people by whom, for whom the government and politicians exist, protest against these hartals. Lets not protest against these hartals by calling for another hartal. Lets protest by doing what we are supposed to do on even hartal days.

Its time we opened our eyes and reacted to all the malpractices in our country
Let us change and gradually country will too.
Lets hope for the best
