Misery does not seem to end for Kerala fishermen who are stopped from entering the sea due to the 47-day ban on trawling off the Coast. It is said that monsoon is the spawning season for fishes, but all are asking where is the monsoon, fishermen are sitting idle; waiting for the rains with nothing much to do. This is what we call punctuality. The Kerala administration likes every year to put a ban on time, and this time monsoon seems to be following the Ministerial time(Always Late).
The dilapidated condition of the roads; in cochin has; resulted in the rickshaw drivers asking for higher charges. Add to it the recent hike in oil price. It has a direct impact on the bargaining skills of the non drivers. Who cares who feels the pinch more? The smarter man wins. And the pleasure of clinching a deal - priceless!

Malayalees, better known as 'Mallus' all over the world, are famous for their eccentricities. A natural penchant to enjoy unexpected holidays by way of 'bandh' calls of countless political parties tops the list. An irresistible charm for the yellow metal, gold comes next. Keralite women of all ages make sure to load themselves with chunky gold jewellery irrespective of the occassion or the dress she is wearing!
Keralites are very similar to the rest of the world, waiting with baited breath to see how the economy will go. In typical Keralite fashion the rising fuel and food prices have stirred all the political parties to call one day strikes (Hartals as they are known). For most Keralites they operate as a day off and rarely stir strong emotions.
