Happy Strike to all Keralites

As part of my daily routine, I called my father today morning. As usual I asked isn't it time for you to go office. He was surprised at my question and told today is all India strike and no vehicles. So no office. He also added that the strikers are even trying to block trains at different railway stations. Since I was not in Kerala I don't give a damn about any strike news.My dad continued asking me
that do you have office today and how's the strike in Chennai.I said I very well have office and there is no strike here, especially when DMK, the ruling party in TN,is not supporting the strike.So I kept the phone saying to enjoy the unscheduled holiday.

Yes. Another All India Strike called by Left and non NDA parties is celebrated in Kerala, God's own country.I miss it being here in Chennai. I don't think here hardly anyone will be aware of it. I am sure if I say it to someone over here I am going to get a response like "Oh,is it?I didn't know".I think nonKeralites are not aware of
food inflation and other burning issues in this country. Thanks to the well educated and political aware people of Kerala. Or else how the political parties can say the strike called by them was a success. I remember during school days how badly we waited for a strike so that everyone would be at home and enjoy.Nowadays its pretty obvious in the market and TV channels too. Its like onam or vishu, with a guarantee of all the family members to be at home. When the high court ordered not to have any bandhs they just changed the name and called it as hartal.Previously Hartal involved closing all the shops but now its a synonym for bandh. We get strike wishes in our
cell. And the situation is so worsened that anyone, even if its me, calls a strike it will be a big success in Kerala.

But is it the people who are to be accused for the current situation?Well, I disagree with that. The people are afraid of their life and properties without any discretion the potestors will attack.Previously government run buses would be there. But now those buses are also not running and people will get stranded here and
there. So they decided to stay at home. And what about the government. They are the sitting ducks. They will never take any action against the perpetrators and the violence remains to be continued.When the Governemnet cannot ensure the routine life of ordinary citizen why we are having law and order in country?Why don't they understand that its just like they are having the right to support the strike, others have the right not to support it. All these are good to put on paper or discuss even after knowing nothing is going to change.
