think of a meaningful Onam
Festivals have special role in the society's integrity. We , all malayalees celebrate Onam . Its a memory of a humble King, who we believed in his visit to people of kerala every year. After the 6 years gap(+2 ,Btech) , I got a chance to celebrate Onam . I really enjoyed the taste of “payasam” ,which we got from our neighbors.. It is the celebration of the harvest tied with the memory of the golden age of prosperity .My mind went to my past school days...gathering flowers , competing for making "pookalam",playing with friends......lot to say . For a fun yesterday I searched for wikipedia entry of Onam…………..there isss,… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onam . Thus the old story of Mahabali had came to my mind again ...... Great Sacrifice and forgiveness. In wiki there is a sentence “Prana (life) and Maana (honour) are like the two eyes of a person. Even if life goes, honour should be protected. Knowing that the person that has come now is the Lord Himself, I should be the most fortunate one as the Lord, who gives everything to mankind, is seeking something from me."…. Onam is a good subject for meditation.

why has Mahabali been behaving this much cruelty to P.J Joseph's Kerala Congress group??
In last year (2006 )onam season P.J Joseph had to resign from his Public Work Ministery Post in the light of Inspector-general P Sandhya's finding that there was some substance in the allegation that he had misbehaved to a woman co-passenger while flying from chennai to Cochi on August 3rd. In his vacancy T.V Kuruvila (Joseph's group)had posted as new Public Work Minister. ...But Mahabali is not ready to leave them. This year T.V Kuruvila is facing a big allegation in the controvecial land deal between his family and KGA Group in Rajakumari village of Idukki district.The problem is hoisted by the Idukki district collector Raju Narayanaswami.This will become a real head ache to Achu in comming days... - A person from his cabinet is facing an allegation that he has links with land mafia when govenment is going on movements against this land mafia....... At last we will reach in the same question - who can I trust??

Could Madhani’s release impact Kerala Politics???
On February 14, 1998, shortly before BJP leader L.K Advani 's poll meeting, a serial blast rocked Coimbatore. Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 250 were injured. Nine years later, when verdict in the case was delivered on August 1, the reactions were mixed. Peoples of Democratic Party chief Abdul Nasser Madhani's family and followers are happy. Madhani was acquitted along with seven others, while al-Umma founder S.A Basha and 152 ohters were found guilty of conspiracy.Madhani's home-coming is expected to change the profile of minority politics in Kerala. The LDF government headed by E.K Nayanar projected Madhani's arrest as acheivement. Though the ruling UDF passed a resolution in March 2005 seeking Madhani's release, an angry PDP allied with the LDF to help its return to power last years. However he said in his Kairali channel interview that PDP would work for social revolution and party derived strength from all backward sections, including the Dalits. Whatever may be the declaration, one thing is sure that return of Madhani will put Muslim League on backfoot. In his speech at Thiruvanadapuram on day after his release was flooded with his supporters. From his speech we can conclude that as of now PDP will continue its alliance with LDF.
