Premium joke

One of the finest jokes cracked every year in Kerala is the entrance examination held by the self-financing medical college managements. It is an examination with no disappointment and hence no ‘SAY’ examination is conducted after it. If one writes this examination he is admitted to a professional degree course and one does not write this examination, he is also admitted. The only criterion is money and if a person is ready to pay at a bargain price no seat will be denied to any one. A 50 plus lakh holder of fixed deposit in a commercial bank can straight away enter into the auction deal for MBBS seat and for that test and other equipment are irrelevant.

The interesting thing is the minor scuffle at test centres during examination time by the activists of various student organizations and the police. Student leaders need to shed out their flab and that is why this little drama.

Indian Black money in Germany

Germany has given Indian authorities a list of some 50 individuals who have black money there. And based on this information Govt of India officials issued notices to tax evaders. Is there anyone from Kerala to lose sleep with this action? More likely not.

Kerala politicians have savings only in Swiss banks!

Musical door competition.

In a musical chair competition there are a dozen players and a dozen minus one chairs, that is, one chair less than the number of players. The play is performed at the stroke of a bell and one person is left at the end and he would be the winner. In a similar manner a new competition was invented by the UDF in Kerala and it is known as ‘musical door competition’. The number players required is three to four, however, a closed room to which others have no access, is essential. This play was performed last by three political achievers in Kerala namely K M Mani, Remesh Chennithala, and Oommen Chandy. They are all competitors for Chief Ministerial post in the coming election. The three had already given orders to their tailors for making white clothes suited for the chair of Chief Minister.

The play was performed by the three last day in the presence of reporters. The three would enter into a room and close the door. After five minute one would come out and give some information to the news men. He returns and after five minute the other comes out to news men opening the same door. It is repeated turn by turn and the person who makes maximum number of appearance before the reporters is the potential candidate for the Chief Minister post. This competition is performed to go ahead with the decision to “agree to disagree” till the issue of Joseph merger with Mani could be settled later.


Actually the LDF and UDF are worried over the laxity of the people to vote in the next election. And without energizing them these leaders could not take people to polling booths. And that is why the UDF has invented the musical door completion. A similar one will be performed by the LDF soon to woo the people.

Corruption charges against P J Joseph

Former minister P J Joseph is an ardent faithful and he could not hereinafter remain without kissing the hands of Bishops or continue working with godless Marxists. So he quit the Left Front. Annoyed with this Finance Minister Thomas Isaac has framed corruption charges against Joseph and Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan confirmed the charges. Do these charges valid if Joseph is still in the LDF?


When Joseph was quit, it was reported that his portfolio was handed over to the CM. But amazingly it was TM Thomas Isaac who levelled charges against Joseph. Is Isaac a super power in the LDF cabinet? There is corruption in all ministers’ departments and if any doubt, ask Transport minister Thettayil. Why then the inquiry is made against Joseph alone? Isaac has a strong inspection wing and hence I ask Isaac to send his inspection team to A K Balan’s Electricity Board where crores of rupees are drawn off for replacing incandescent bulbs by harmful compact fluorescent lamps. Isaac’s inspection wing should hold inquiry into all government departments and sort out irregularities. The action of inspection wing should be for finding corruption and not for political vengeance.
