Chemistry and Economics of T&T inc.

One Thomas is an ardent believer while the other Thomas is an agnostic, nevertheless both are Christian professors very much unsuited for a Hindu dominated country. If any doubt ask Mr Thackray or Praveen Thogadia. The first one kisses the hands of any Bishop on his way while the other scratches his designer beard at the sight of a holy man. The believer Thomas, a Minster in the Central Cabinet, is particularly interested in the eating habit of Keralites, the people of his State. The other Thomas, though dealing the State Finance, is very much interested in all affairs and wields an upper hand in the Cabinet. He would be the next CM of Kerala in 2016AD if IMF or ADB has not confiscated Kerala as a mortgage asset. The two Thomas’ were in the lime light in last January when they offered each other slapsticks at Thanneermukkom in a function. The doubtful Thomas presented a bottle of Mararikulam pickles to believer Thomas and in turn, it is said, believer Thomas invited his friend for a body massage to own village Kumbalangi.

And after just two months of time the two Thomas’ are again locked horns over the distribution of Rs 2 rice to ‘am adami’ in the State. According to Thomas from Centre all the rice to be distributed are issued by him but other Thomas refutes it by saying that the rice of Rs 2 is his. The State ministers are not servants of Central ministers; is the finding of the State Thomas.

The real problem is something else. The believer Thomas is a Chemistry professor who is unable to comprehend anything in the money matters of the other. On the other hand atheist Thomas is an Economic Professor who is incapable of finding anything truth in the Chemistry of the other. Actually the fault is not with the ministers but with the subjects they handle. Chemistry and Economics are entirely different subjects having nothing in common suited to common man.
