What 2010 for Keralites.

What 2010 for Keralites.

My mind by its naughty ways has sensed just what 2010 has in store for the Keralaites. My findings are: All roads including the National Highways will be of potholes twenty percent higher than 2009 and there will be no periodic maintenance.
More areas of SEZ will be identified and people now staying there will be thrown away to street and their land will be confiscated at a throwaway price by the Government or its agencies. JCBs have a major role for the demolition of the household in SEZs

The Government sponsored Education up to plus 12 will be free for all but the takers will be 20 percent less as the quality of education will be too poor. The students will take their study as blearily pastime as the examinations will have no significance in the next year. More and more students will engage in extracurricular activities such as cow farming and brinjal cultivation and that too will be supervised by their teachers. Intake of letters and numerals by students will be less and teachers with doctoral and post doctoral degrees will engage in profit making businesses like wayside ‘thattukada’ where all sorts of ‘ada’(pudding) and ‘nadan oonu’( country meals) will be sold at a subsidized rate. The class room of these teachers can be advantageously used for cattle feeding.

All hospitals owned by the Government will be 20 percent privatized. Labor room work and pediatrics will cost more. More cases will be referred to Private Hospitals and doctors in Government Hospitals will get an opening to collect some commission for their periodic references. The aged ones will find comfort in old age homes.

Water and electricity supply will be in short supply and what the people will get profusely is the press releases of ministers in charge of these departments.
Lottery vending will be a major source of income for the Government and for majority of unemployed educated youths as the government has no plan to recruit people to the existing vacancies. The employees presently in service by hook or crook try to stick to their posts until the inevitable comes about.

More police men will be recruited and their main job is to escort the ministers and intimidate the common people. No criminal cases will be enquired by them as they are not interested in warranting the displeasure of their higher-ups.
State sponsored consumerism will be big event. More and more Grand Kerala Festival will be organized and the people will be cheated by offering 40, 60, 80etc kgs of gold. As there is no way to check the chunk of prize distributed there is no harm in declaring 10000kgs of gold as prize. The suicide rate will be alarming because of state sponsored consumerism.
The Beverages corporation outlets will witness long queues and the political leaders will so decide to hold their meeting in front of these outlets. The income from liquor trade will be 30-40 percent higher in 2010.

And more likely a more corrupt government will be in action in 2010.
A Happy 2010 for all Keralites!
