The meeting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with US President Donald Trump has been hailed as a great achievement by Diplomacy Watchers an Media. Geting US Prez to directly condemning Pakistan as a source of Terror in the subcontinent is no mean diplomatic acheivement. If Trump proceeds to translate this perception into effective steps to curb Pak. terror acts it is a real boon. No Indian Prim Minister, could achieve this, let us remember.
The burning issue of H1B Visa was left unmentioned in official reports.
The offer of enhancement of mutual trade exalted many in industry an trade.
Sems Trump agreed to increase supply of Natural Gas to India,but coyly indicated he needs a higher price; true to his track and image as a biz man, who swam like a wild shark in corporate waters of US. for over five decades.

ചെമ്മീനിലെ  ചെമ്പൻകുഞ്ഞിനെ ഓർത്തു . ആരെക്കണ്ടാലും , എവിടെയായാലും  ആദ്യത്തെ  ചോദ്യം - കയ്യിൽ  കായുണ്ടോ?(കാശുണ്ടോ?

ട്രംപിനെ ' ട്രമ്പൻകുഞ്ഞു ' എന്ന് വിളിക്കാൻ തോന്നി പ്പോയി.   

അർത്ഥരാത്രിയിലെ വിപ്ലവങ്ങൾക്കും വിമോചനങ്ങൾക്കും കൂടുതൽ പൊലീപ്പ് ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കും. ജി യെ സ് ടി അങ്ങനെ പൊളിക്കട്ടെ.
സംഗതി ചെറുതല്ല. കാക്കത്തൊള്ളായിരം നികുതി, പിരിക്കാനും കൊടുക്കുന്നവനെ പൊരിക്കാനും അത്രതന്നെ കശ്മലന്മാർ ഇതൊക്കെ മാറുന്നത് വലിയ പുണ്യം.
കുറക്കുന്ന നികുതി സാധാരണക്കാർക്കു കിട്ടുമോ എന്നു കണ്ടറിയാം
അർഥ രാത്രി ആഘോഷത്തിണ് പോകുന്നവരിൽ കുട പിടിക്കാൻ യോഗ്യരായ കുറെ അധികം പെരുണ്ടാകും. അവരും മമ്മൂഞ്ഉകളും കൂടിയാണല്ലോ നമ്മെ

The maltreatment and difficulties faced by Sri T.P.Senkumar when he returned to the DGP post with a landmark Supreme Court judgement, was imaginable to me, as I had faced the same predicament 15 years back as Director of Medical Education in the hands of then UDF Government. My lawful legitimate promotion was initially blocked by the LDF Government of Nayanar, for the sake of a Professor who took M.D 11years after me and had a seniority position far below mine.
At a certain stage of the legal battle, in the Supreme Court, the same
high-cost stalwart lawyers, who opposed Sri. Senkumar's petition were fielded against me by the State Government and the Respondent. However, with an unambiguous judgement in favour of me, the succeeding UDF Government had no option but to promote me as DME. However, with various obstacles my posting was delayed , A second legal battle to expedite my promotion, unlawfully blocked was beyond my means at that time, and I lost about 20 months as DME.
Compelled to post me as DME, I was subjected to many difficulties by the caucus of the Health Minister, steered by political doyens of UDF, and a characterless incompetent Health Secretary and his cronies. Still I could initiate some meaningful steps and projects in 11 months' tenure as DME, thanks to a non-interfering and non-corrupt Chief Minister, and his Principal Secretary, who was a former Health Secretary, and whom I would rate as one of the finest IAS Officers, Kerala has ever had..
Still the going was tough
The torpido and blockade of my promotion was possibly motivated by monetary or other gratifications,. Being non-political and the DME post being less powerful and less in public gaze( as compared to DGP),, the injustice done to me and my struggle and suffering in service, were less in public domain.
The crux of the matter is there is no difference between LDF and UDF Governments, in harassing and persecuting officers who challenge their high-handed unjust intentions and actions.
However, as he exits, hundreds of thousands of discerning justice-loving people in Kerala, would keep Sri. T.P. Senkumar as one of the most honest, upright and humanistic police officers we have ever had..

As expected, the self financing medical management and State Government have started a market level bargain regarding Annual Fee for all the 3000 plus MBBS seats. The former wants to fix 15 Lakhs, the Government bargains for lowering it. We can almost be sure it would be fixed at 10 Lakhs, or atleast 8 Lakhs.
A detailed proposal linking fee with NEET rank was submitted by me to the Government. It would offer Rs.50500 as Annual Fee for the student with highest NEET rank in Private Medical College, and 1percent increase for each subsequent seat. The student with next rank will have to pay Rs 51000. The third seat 51500 , and so on. The 1000th seat will have a fee of 5 Lakhs, 2000th will have 10 Lakhs, 3000th will have 15 Lakhs.
This combines academic justice with socioeconomic justice, but at the same time generates sufficient fund for running private Medical Colleges. Up to 1000 students with higher NEET rank will get opportunity to study with less than 5 Lakhs per year.
SC/ST students and other students eligible for Fee concession may be given that. The incremental fee as detailed above may be computed for other seats.
This would enable to collect Rs.150 to 200 crores.( depending on the total seats from which fee can be collected)
The fee should be collected by the  Regulatory Committee or authorized agency at the time of counselling itself and kept. Each College should be paid the annual share of Fee, based on the projected expenditure statement, based on previous years' expenditure, adjusted as per norms after a fair scrutiny.
All this is possible with a compact Accounts& Finance Unit, attached to the Regulatory Committee.
The baseline fee for the first seat and the incremental rate can be fixed realistically.
Any excess fund, can be used for  general schemes for improvement of Medical Education.
There is no need for a category of Merit and Management seats, with uniform selection criteria and selection process. No issue of cross subsidy of one category to other is involved.
I submitted this to the office of CM Health Minister, Regulatory Committee, Health Secretary. Got an Acknowledgement from CM's Office, but no one seems to be interested in considering such a proposal/scheme linking Rank and Fee for MBBS, which could have become a national model.
Instead, the market style bargain( called high level discussion) started with Management.
Who  in  Government and high  Political Echelons  and Officialdom, designated/ decorated Medical or Higher Education Experts/ Advisers or Judiciary is genuinely interested in academic justice and quality aspects of Medical Education.?

കൊച്ചിക്കാർ രക്ഷപെട്ടു, അവര്ക്കു യാത്ര സുഗമം ആയി ,തിരുവനന്തപുറത്തുകാർ വഴിയിലായി,ശ്രീധരൻ സാർ കനിയ ണം, അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് ആരോഗ്യവും ആയുസ്സും ഉണ്ടാകട്ടെ, ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥരും നേതാക്കളും അലസതയും തൻകാര്യപ്രസക്തിയും വെടിയണം നമുക്കും വേണം മെട്രോ,
Oommen chandy and Pinarayi both proved their competence as Chief Ministers in getting Metro materialized . The latter should show his mettle in expediting and starting the twin Light Metros.

Let alcohol be eliminated from our homes where children grow up and open society and then, if deemed necessary, be made available only in designated dedicated drinking places for safe responsible drinking.
If the Government has genuine concern for future generations and genuine courage for responsible governance, this is what should be done

The revised liquor policy of LDF Government released on 8th June 2017, yesterday can have far reaching impact on Kerala society.
I have always felt liquor sale outlets are more of a danger to society than pubs and bars, and hence should have been closed first. The availability of alcoholic beverages should be confined to dedicated bars,pubs or taverns  where it can be regulated rationally. Alcohol should not have a place in homes where our children grow, nor in the open society where drunken Behavior can cause inconvenience, distress or not uncommonly even disaster.
There fore, I was not much enthused with closure of bars by previous Government.
I felt indiscriminate ubiquitous drinking would spread, spurious liquor will reign when bars alone are closed. Th ere may not be any  substantial benefit to society.
Let me convey this, my assumptions were wrong. Closure of bars reduced traffic accidents, reduced adolescent fresh drinkers, and above all attenuated the circles of mafia operations around them.
Needless to say the proclaimed abstention from alcoholism, is unworkable without a regulation of access to alcohol.
If the Government has any sincerity in that proclamation, let it close all sale outlets  first and then permit bars pubs etc for authorized ,accountable and regulated drinking.

Bar owners, hoteliers and may be some hospitals too stand to benefit from the reversal of bar closure order. More orthopedic, surgical and neurosurgical cases, thanks to the imminent tide of RTA
In the long run more acute and chronic liver disease. More domestic violence, battered children with broken mind.
Short term fiscal advantage through this liberalized liquor policy is nothing but signing up on behalf of society for its devastation. Who can deny Alcoholism the status of most serious sociomedical menace Pollution of air, water and earth through neglect of waste management is the only other claimant for this status.
A Democratic Government should not forget the children growing up in its jurisdiction, while trying to appease the alcohol consumer and alcohol lobby.
Children are the inevitable casualties in an alcohol-flourishing society.
