AILING KERALA
I think it was less than 5 years since I proudly read about Kerala competing with Cuba in being the best Healthcare provider to the community, in a study by WHO. One can imgain my chargin in reading in the news papers a few days back about 25000 being already down with fever (Chikungunia) and the numbers increasing.I dont think I should be surprised at this fall from grace for a state where death of new borns in what was once arguably the best maternity hospital in the country (SAT), is a continuing saga.In his eagerness to conquer all the worldly possessions in the shortest span, is the Keralite forgetting the basics of personal social hygene and how to react to a medical system which thinks and acts to make money? Hope the government and its people stop thinking that being God's own country, God would save it from its fate.If heads have to roll, let them.But we need to recoup our lost position.But does any one care?

I doubt anybody cares about a worthy cause in Kerala or India. Why bother and waste energy when nothing gets done anyway? That's the way I see it. I think the people need a boost, a motivational boost that makes them want to care. The life has been stagnant for so long, there’s no real motivation. Why do you think the young generation can’t wait to leave? It’s time for a strong leadership or a bubble burst. I see the latter happening more than the former, which btw, gets more and more difficult as each day passes. You've the perfect analogy, the country seems to have caught a terminal illness that sure needs a magic potion for cure.
