Finally!

Dateline 31 Jan.

1. ToI.

The Times of India has finally arrived! Its Kerala edition begins from tomorrow!! I don't have to wait for my copy till mid day anymore.

Cocking a snook at it and almost sounding pompous, has it followed me to God's own country? Whatever it is, it's a state of bliss to have yet another giant of the print media amidst us. So, it's welcome ToI at long last!


2. A classic innovation.

Devassy, a fish vendor of Thrissur, has this unique way of waking up his customers at 0630h everyday with an 'sms' from his cellphone that covers the prices of the varieties of fish. Orders are taken through 'return' smses and the fish of one's choice is delivered at one's doorstep!

That's indeed a unique way of clubbing technology with business acumen to maximise returns!! Devassy, here's wishing you success in everything you do.


3. Nurses on the warpath.

It's common knowledge that the nurses do not get remuneration matching their work. Their plight has been festering for a while and signs of dissidence are now being reported from various hospitals with a remarkable regularity. The latest to join are the lot from the nearby Lakeshore hospital. The state government has taken a difficult-to-comprehend stance that it cannot get into every imbroglio of this sort.

Meanwhile, the tussle between the hospital's management and the striking nurses continue much to the discomfort of the numerous patients. Hope that an acceptable solution is reached without much ado!
