Split Tamil Nadu (TamilNadu) into two states? - Chennai and Trichy as two capital cities!??

Is it good or bad to split Tamil Nadu into two states?

Well, hold on, hold on...This is only a question. I am not in favour of anything. This article is just an analysis. This is a highly political question.

After the outbreak of the decision of Central government to split Andhra Pradesh, there were lot of celebrations and oppositions from Andhra people from different parts of the state for the decision made. Following that, there were many states in the country asking for splitting their state too. In that, one of them was Tamil Nadu.

Not all of the political leaders were in favour of the split of Tamil Nadu. One of them was PMK party leader Dr.Ramadoss was in favor of the split of Tamil Nadu. Dr. Ramdoss said in an interview that - "While he proposed for the same split of Tamil Nadu long back, there was huge opposition, but there is no one opposing the split of Tamil Nadu NOW. Things have changed and people seem to like it, if proposed. Here is the video of Dr. Ramadoss in a press meet about split of Tamil Nadu. Why did they branch out and bring High Court to Trichy? Because - people from south do not have to go all the way to the Chennai city – that is the reason. It is all administrative convenience. Similarly the state can also split and be administered better.” – said PMK Leader Dr.Ramadoss.

What would they do if they split Tamilnadu into two states? North Tamil Nadu and South Tamil Nadu will be two states. There would be equal money contribution from the Center for development of states. Chennai would be the capital of former and Trichy would for latter. Obviously, there would be more concentration of improvement in Southern districts of Tamil Nadu, but the integrity as ONE TAMIL NADU will be broken. Will we want that?

The split should not have been talked about, but since the topic has come up, let us analyze it - right? We are not in favour of anybody, but just let us talk about it.

As ONE Tamil nadu, we have been integrated all the time wherever we go. Say - what if someone asks for separate country for Tamil nadu – will you accept it? I guess – it was already asking for These kinds of proposals will be always there. What is wrong in the current setup as ONE TAMIL NADU as part of ONE COUNTRY INDIA? Why can’t we just live with one tamil nadu state, and as a part of one country India. Why do we have to split it?

Some might argue that – administration will be better and improvement focus can be given to areas which are not given much attention. Quality and improvement of people in those areas can be increased.

In other side, separate administration will lead to a new ministers and have more funds flow and some politicians might favour from it. In other hand – people in the southern districts might also get favoured. Having said that – Did Jharkand or Uttaranchal improve drastically, just because it was split into two states?

Though the topic is very political, the situation is going to be same – even though the split happens.

What I would say is – let us just live with the same setup and live as ONE TAMIL NADU, instead of the split of the state. This will avoid new expenses like elections and doing some personal favors.

Let us try to improve as one state and one country and one mankind world!!

Vijayakanth changes DMDK candidate in Trichy

DMDK had Muthulakshmi as the candidate for Trichy. But, after the announcement of DMK as Mr.Azhagiri being given the seat in Trichy, DMDK evaluated the situation in Trichy.

DMDK President and Actor Vijayakanth decided to change the DMDK candidate for Trichy. Kaviarasu is the candidate from DMDK now. Muthulakshmi is moved to sivaganga most probably. Kaviarasu was a business man in Trichy leading the youth club of Vijayakanth fans.

There is not much popularity for Kaviarasu, however Vijayakanth is a popular personality among Trichy folks. We are not sure about the motive behind this change.

Economic Stimulus Package in Trichy??

A vote in Thirumangalam election is worth Rs.1000 from one party.
Say Party A gives Rs.1000, at the sametime Party B also give Rs.1000 for the same person.

A single family has husband and wife. If that family includes parents as well, then it is probably worth Rs.4000 or Rs.5000.

All the businesses, theaters, hotels, restaurants, alcoholic bar shops etc., are getting good business.

Is it a stimulus package for Tirumangalam constituency - Trichy!!!???

Leaders, Education, Youth, Corruption, Our Country!!

Most of the problems starts with Leaders! Leaders in our country are not as great as
olden days Or not as great as many countries in the world.

Ofcourse, we are a democracy and we elect the leaders. Leaders are our representation for administrating and governing the country. This applies to only the time, the leaders are elected in our country. After they step up to power, their attitude changes. Leaders are not an example to the people. Leaders should exemplify themselves to the people. This does not apply to Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam and few others. The President definitely exemplifies with his character.

Most of the leaders in our country are selfish. Leaders are corrupt. There are very few leaders who are not corrupt and who do not do illegal and criminal stuff. In some way or other bribes are being given.

How long people would be fools like today!? When will people change and understand the whole situation around these corrupt leaders!? I am sure everyone understands the situation, but nobody reacts or acts to the situation. This excludes some non-profit organizations.

Even if anybody comes out and gives words against these political leaders, they get silenced after some threatens! Who would come out and give voices?! Who would change the world and make the country a better place to live? Who will tie the bell around the cat's neck!?

Leaders have to be moulded from the day 1. It is all possible through youngsters only! It is all possible through the education! Youngsters should come out with courage, planning, intelligence, honesty and skilled!

This is definitely possible! Not by just waking up and start the task! But this can be achieved by sheer planning and execution to make this country a better place.

A day has to come when we are not frustrated and tortured with various corruption items in our country. Things has to be clean!!! I mean real CLEAN in terms of no-crime!!

Corrupt Trichy RTO Office: Had to Bribe in 2000

Please note that the below story is about an incident happenned in 2000. I am NOT sure about the current situation in Trichy RTO office. But please read on about the real incident in the past.

Corrupt Trichy RTO Office: Did Bribing in the year 2000
This dates back to year 2000. Right after my college and my company placement I had training in a local driving school and managed to get trained for 30 days - two and four wheeler training.

I appeared on the day of the license. I did pass in my driving tests. While standing in queue for the application, I had to pay Rs.20 for republic day stamp. I crossed 2 tables and had to pay atleast Rs.20 to Rs.30 to the officers desk.

This is somewhere in the middle of year 2000. I am not sure what is the situation now in Trichy RTO office. This happenned in Bye-Pass Road - South Trichy.

I had to pay because everyone paid. If I don't pay the bribe, I cannot get my license. In fact, I saw the officers in their khakhi pants and white shirts, we going past the queue, when the things are happenning.

I remember it clearly, but I cannot do anything. This happenned in every government office in Trichy. Why should I pay for the government services, provided by the government servants, who are getting paid as salary by the government.

This should change! I heard from someone that these days they don't ask for bribe. Good to hear that and I wish it remains the same.

As said by Tamil Film Director Shankar in his movie "Indian" - casted by actor padmashree Kamalhassan - he says Officers abroad get "lanjam"(bribe), for not doing or overriding some rules and laws, But Officers in India are getting money for doing their duty in India.

God Bless Trichy and overall India!

Trichy under the clutches of rowdies and gangsters

Trichy under the clutches of rowdies and gangsters:

The below viewpoint explains about the majority of Trichy and not all of the local politicians and not all the administrative officials are like the way it is explained below. There are definitely some honest people. Please read on ....

Today every officer and a local politician has to listen to rowdies, criminals and gangsters. Every decision is directed by these RCG (Rowdies, Criminals and Gangsters).

An administrative official is not able to do his duty, due to pressure from various entities in Trichy. Even the local politicians have to ask the RCGs, before doing anything good to people.

On one hand, the local politicians are selfish and try to accumulate their wealth. In another hand, the administrative officials need money to do their duty. On top of all these RCGs pressure these functionaries, for every execution of tasks.

In fact RCGs are one of the main cause of these corruption and costing behaviour.

Overall, who is affected?! None other than the Trichy people. Trichy's economy. Trichy's production...

We need leaders to crash all these inefficient elements. We need rules and orders to make things effective. We need punishments for everyone to abide by the rules of the government.

Problems in Trichy - Part II

Here are the problems I think Trichy has -

Attitude of the people...There is a very narrow thinking and never thinks of productivity. Trying to be lazy. Not doing the work properly. Very conservative...Priorities are trivial and not very productive....Never allow others to progress...

Illiteracy....Not much education...Less awareness among people...

Health issues...Due to lack of awareness and poverty, there are many health issues... have already discussed as a separate topic in previous articles...

Population....Too many births...Not being aware about the population control programmes...

Poverty...There is a huge percentage still under poveryt line..Not even having the basic things like - food, water and shelter!!

Government....Till now there had been never a very good government for making the city productive...

Corrupt Administration...Administration had been corrupt at most of the times and things...Never been a very clean administration. Every point and node is corrupt in the administrative system of the government...Even if the administration is clean, the politicians never leave them alone...

Rowdism, Gangism...Not much law and order is maintained...Many Robberies, rapes, Crimes. Every one tries to take weapons - Aruval(Sickle kind of knife)...Police is corrupt even...So there is not much law and order maintained....

Definitely not environmental friendly...

Brain Drain...All the best human resources move out of the city...to madras/chennai, bangalore, hyderabad, mumbai, America/abroad....

Very few people follow rules...Even take for example traffic rules...very less people follow it...

Amidst all these, many are lazy and not being productive...just laze around and being a load to the earth's gravity...

I am sometimes very angry about the above facts...Sometimes I become very pity to the people...sometimes feeling like doing something for these people, which I will eventually do...
Sometimes I become emotional and even shed tears thinking about the situation...
Anyway, whatever it is - we should do some action to get rid of these problems...We should knock these problems out and become a strong city and stand as an example to the state, country...and in fact to the world...

If this continues in every city, we will never become a developed nation, and always remain a third world country...

in fact, most of these issues are discussed in newtrichy.in and aimed to be solved in a long-term. Check out http://www.newtrichy.in

I will be talking about the potential advantages in Trichy, in my next article...

What a crazy idea?

Within 5 years timeframe, anybody who does not have a colour television will be given a colour television by the government!! This is what the ruling government respected Chief Minister Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi says to tamil nadu people.

In 5 years, there won't be anybody in tamil nadu without a color television, it seems. In total the budget seems to be 750 crores for this particular project.

What is the use? What a non-productive idea?! Will this make people work more and make the state and country gain more or even the people won't get prosperous? Instead people will become dumb...Will people understand what a flaw-filled policy this is?! Whose money is all these?! Who is approving this? Did People approve this? It's all tax money of the properly tax paying middle-class people.

Please think about it!! and open as many eyes as possible!

Watch this video for Respected Chief Minister's speech on this...

Tamil Nadu Political Joke

I happenned to see this tamil nadu political joke...

Enjoy watching the song between Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi and Dr. J Jayalalitha...
Take it lightly, if you are a party person!

Please read on about the article below -

Yes, Democracy is dying in Trichy - Tamil Nadu - South India - in fact all over India. Democracy is like a human body. Human body is corrupted with all kinds of bacterias, viruses and diseases.

Democracy is not anymore in India. We are being brainwashed that there is democracy going on India. But it is not. There are three enemies to democracy. Here are they -

(i) Corruption
(ii) Corruption
(iii) Corruption

Democracy has become with lot of holes, due to corruption. Democracy, as a system is not functioning, because of the fact that executive, judiciary and legislative layers of our government is corrupted.

There had been many tamil movies based on correcting corruption - like Indian, Anniyan, Ramana etc., but the movies are being watched and enjoyed. There is no social change out of it. Director has to be appreciated for the whole effort of trying the social change, but he is going without any good results. However, he gets the commercial benefits. My question is: Why are we liking to watch a movie with such a story of corrupt free world, but not interested to make our country in that fashion.

Eyes of democracy is closed by the monopolistic press and not a brave newspaper or television company so far.

Either the press is completely associated to one political party OR the press is not brave enough to freely post their articles to reach the people of the democratic country.

People are given false and unclear pictures of what is happenning around in the country, by owning the press in their side. There is one media company in Tamil nadu, which owns as many television channels, as many morning newspapers, as many evening newspapers, as many magazines as possible. These guys own the powerful television channel, which hosts programs with highest TRP ratings. People are stuck to these TV channels. People are not thinking for prosperity. People are just before the Televisions and keep on watching. People are becoming stupids and idiots, by watching just movies and serials. There is no scope for exposure and there is no scope for productivity.

In olden days, Zamindars used to have the people in the village, illitrate. Same thing is happening right now. Political parties are even giving Free Televisions for people from their party's money or government's money(all of tax payer's money), so that people can be struck to the television sets and be idle for the rest of their lives. At the sametime, have the people watch their campaign all the time.

You might think I am angry on the government. I would not agree with that. Not really. I am not angry with the government. I am angry with the people. Angry about all of us. Cheating is not a very bad thing. Being cheated is SIN.

We, the people are being sentimental fools, by going behind actors. We consider actors and actresses more than human beings. We should learn to watch movies, as movies and not compare with real life. That will change some of our thinking and in fact our lives.

There are three levels of the government - Executive, Judicial and Legislative. All the three parts of it needs money for functioning as a bribe to everything. Not only the government, every part of our soceity works on bribe and money. Did you know India is one of the most corrupt countries in the world!? Too bad!!

In effect, we should change for the betterment of the soceity. We should change for good. Automatically, the government would change for better. If every man does some change to the soceity, automatically things will change.

Everyone should read to become refined. Everyone should make positive changes towards our life. I suggest everyone take small steps and even very big steps are not needed - For example - do not put trash on public areas, instead just put the trash in trash can!

Let us take positive action and be just not idiots hereafter. Let us give what we can even in small efforts and save Democracy.

Trichy Dirty Politics

Recently we had elections in Trichy for Trichy Central constituency. As usual, there was competition between two huge parties. Well, that is good. Competition is good. Please go ahead...

But, when campaigning, things has to be fair right?! Looks like people living in the constituency received money and other gifts from the party folks. I am not sure, if the leaders of the party knew about this. But, still these kind of bribes to voters is still going on.

Moreover, this is not from just one party. It is given by most of the parties contesting.

Will this situation change? Who will change this? Will people reject the offer from the politicians? Or will politicians and supporting people stop doing this and make the elections fair?!

The above article is my personal opinion...

Trichy Machan State Election Report

When tamil nadu state elections were going on this year, I have posted a report to Chennai Online as an internet citizen reporter. That was posted by them in their website.

You can find that report HERE, authored as "Trichy Machan"

Taking this as an inspiration, planning to include politics also into the postings hereafter, in addition to various included subjects.
