RENDEZVOUS WITH A BLOGGER FRIEND
I have been blogging for many years now and have made many friends. Although I have not met them personally, I have learnt many things about them and their families through their writing and photos. Recently when Mr.P.N.Subramanian rang me up and told me that he is in Kochi and would like to meet me I was thrilled. So we arranged to meet at Hotel Prashant at Tripunithura.
We met at around four o clock in the evening at the hotel and shared information about each other and our experiences for almost two hours over a cup of tea and snacks. I was delighted that finally I could meet a blogger friend. We have been visiting each others blogs for many years and established a very warm relationship.
Mr. Subramanian has settled down in Bhopal although his mother and brother are living is Kerala. He studied in Madhya Pradesh and worked with State Bank of India mostly in Madhya Pradesh. His wife passed away recently and his son is staying with him. He has a married daughter also. He is interested in archeology,history,travel and numismatics. He is a very friendly person and very easy to get along with. Please visit his blog MALAR by CLICKING HERE.
Bhopal is a place where I worked for four long years. I was there when the MIC gas from Union Carbide leaked and killed many people. Many children were born deformed because expectant mothers inhaled the gas. Many others are still suffering from the after effects of the gas. Many illiterate gas victims were cheated by government officials by paying paltry amounts as compensation although they were made to sign on blank paper for much higher amounts. It was a night mare for me and my family when the gas leaked. Fortunately we escaped the gas by being one of the early people to flee the place. I will recount our horrible experience in one of my future posts.

WHO BENEFITS WITH THE COUNTRY’S PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY?
Our countries have developed by leaps and bounds. We can see lovely, stylish cars on the roads, high rise, posh buildings every where, fashionable, trendy shops and malls, supermarkets and hypermarkets at convenient places, people dressed in expensive, branded clothes, wonderful food joints with unimaginable delicacies, latest electronic gadgets at home, people busily speaking on mobile phones every where and so on. There seems to be no dearth of money with the public at large.
But take a look at the people in the following photos. Progress and prosperity has not touched their lives. They are struggling to make a livelihood and desperately trying to keep their body and souls together. What is the use of all the development and progress if millions of people like this still have to live in perpetual penury and poverty? Many die of wars, heart disease, terrorism, leaks from nuclear plants, starvation, malnutrition,air,water and noise pollution. I am sure there is some answer to all these man made calamities.
