Don’t Cry for me Kerala

Don’t judge the post by the headline. I couldn’t think of a better one at this point of time. As for this post, I had been thinking of penning it down for quite sometime. And, again the same feeling resurfaced when I went to a courier company.

All I wanted was to send few cardboard boxes from Bangalore to Trivandrum. I went to two courier service and both them refused to send a consignment to Kerala. One fella sent that the check post problem. Another didn’t give any reason. Why is it becoming increasingly difficult to do business in Kerala? Who makes these policies and who is it benefiting?

Apart from sending courier to Kerala, even ecommerce sites are refusing to send things to Kerala. Again some tax problem? Why are they finicky about it? Why don’t the Government make things easier…maybe give some space for growth? Well, they might loose a bit on tax, but it will facilitate trade to flourish.

Again, the recent rule to close down bars… I still can’t comprehend the scenario. Why is Congress government hell bend on this rule? Are they myopic about their objective? Which era are they living?  What do they see for the future? Are they tackling drinking problem with these short sighted measures? Will it work? Are the public idiots?

oh…. I’m just rantling about it. Maybe, I’m more right winged fellas, with my ideals tilted towards free market and capitalism. Where business flourish and people have more options to live and earn in Kerala.
