Dateline 05 Feb.
One is always told that our country's poor and a developing nation. There're many things that we can ill afford and state-of-the-art technology was only available with a high price tag. There's a sizeable percentage of people living quite below the poverty line and cannot have a square meal a day.
But when one is confronted with the commercial activities that take place everyday then one wonders whether the foregoing statement is true. Close on the heels of the opening of the largest textile showroom of Emmanuval Silks, we, Kochiites witnessed the grand opening of the biggest jewellery showroom of Joy Alukkas on the Marine Drive this morning. And it was inaugurated by none other than the pretty playback singer, Shreya Ghoshal who seems to have become a darling of the mallu crowds.
Where's the lack of money in this country? Or is it a case of rich getting richer and poor, poorer?
