             Kerala, God’s own country, one of the most favoured tourist destination in India, has now taken a beat from improper waste dumping and management. The state is in the news for all the wrong reasons. State capital Thiruvanathapuram (TVR) is in the spot light b’coz of the Vilappilshala (a village in TVR ) issue. Villagers staged a protest against the dumping of waste and even against the order of High Court, they blocked the vehicles which brought solid wastes to the waste management plant.  Villagers made it clear that they are not going to bear the burden of city’s waste.

I don’t know why i always think of writing about, is it b’coz of the poor condition of our current education system or is it me? what ever may the reason, i guess no one would argue about the fact that it is education business rather than education service which is going on. Everyone is busy gluing long degrees to their names. Now a days one can’t even say that it is education that we are getting from schools and colleges it is certificates and degrees.
