"Nalla kalam Varukirathu"( Good days are coming).


There are fortune tellers in south India .This is a regular sight in Tamil nadu and Kerala.They are accompanied by a bull called " Appakkala" .They roam around Houses in villages announcing " Nalla Kalam Varukirathu" which means "Good days are fast approaching".The villagers who normally believe them pay handsomely because when he announces tha Bullock accompanying him would also nod it's head. I remembered these scenes in villages after seeing many reports in the News media and social net works about the Government representatives announcing such promises.What the fortune tellers announce might sometimes happen.But whether what the Government tells about Good days approaching one will have to wait and see.Mostly what we have experienced is that what the Government announces remains in papers and do not reach the people. During Every Election in India we have heard this announcement.Some are fuifilled.Some never.Even fulfilled announcements do not reach people. It has become a regular joke india and people are tired of hearing such announcements. There is one more joke which we are seeing everyday especially when Elections are approaching.This is about Political Parties blaming each other about irregularities and Mal practices. No political party leader/ member ruling or in opposition has the virtue about doing things correctly instead of blaming the Predecessors. Without doing anything visibly good for the poor, blaming the predecessor for the lapse is a greater sin. In India ,there was a change in the Government recently.The new Government after assuming power promised many things for the poor among which was one announcement " good days are coming".But the Party chief says it would take twenty-five years for good days to materialize while those who in Power say good days already arrived. It may be true that good days have already arrived .But it is for the rich and for poor."The rich become richer while the poor become poorer" still holds good in India.Announcing huge amounts for poor is good.But whether the benefits under the projects for which funds are announced are ,in fact implemented and reaches the poor people is more important than making the announcements. The earlier Government , did such a deed by introducing a " Food security Act"In September 2013.The aim of the Act was to give subsidized food for 2/3rd of the population of India.the cost of the project envisaged under the Act was in the region of Rs 1,25,000 CRORES.India has 30 states and 7 Union Territories. With over 1.2 billion people,India is the most populous democracy in the World.It is a Federal Constitutional Republic Governed Under a Parliamentary System.The benefits envisaged under "Food Security Act 2113" are aimed to reach the poor.Under this scheme envisaged in the Food security act the most beneficiary were women,particularly pregnant and Lactated women and innocent Children. Women and Children are the pillars of the society.The very essence of a democracy is the basis of the growth of Women and Children.out of the 30 states just 12 states have opted to come under the Act so far.Can it not be considered as the responsibility of the Government to see the benefits reaches all the people particulary poor What the poor got so far is increase in prices of commodity.Even subsidies are being thought of getting reduced or stopped..The farmers are committing suicide.The free drinking water in Railway platforms which was a boon for the poor is being stopped and bottled water at nominal prices are being introduced. The funniest part of the Government Machinery is that although food and other needs are not secured to the poor,the Yoga and Dhyana are being given Priority.Both Yoga and Dhyana are divine matters and should be followed by people. There is absolutely no about this. What could not be relished is how the people who follow Yoga and Dhyan are able to blame and find fault with the Political rivals.A person who systematically and with faith perform yoga and Dhyana is supposed to have a clear heart and mind free of any kind of disturbance and could never be able to find fault with others. When can we Indians enjoy the sweetness of Democracy instead of suffering from irritating exchange of words by the Politicians? sreedharanMundanat 25th of July 2015 Ruling us?
