Students from Kerala studying in Tamilnadu and other states are being treated badly by the Management. Behind certain rules they are ill-treating the students and harassing them publicly. Two weeks back one of my friend’s sister, studying in PSN College of Engineering was asked to leave the college hostel by around 7pm by the chairman of the college for questioning a staff’s misbehaviour. She was not even allowed to wait till morning. Eventually she stayed at a relative’s home around 11 kilometres from the college. The college authority refused to give her Transfer certificate and other documents; for that she will have to pay the next year fees. So many students have been facing mental depression and some of them have already discontinued the course. The students are really struggling to complete their courses and they are being treated like prisoners by completely isolating them from outside world. People running these colleges have failed to do justice to the ethos and values of the education system as a whole and are behaving like money lenders. There has also been an incident in the past where a college faculty who resigned from the college was beaten up when he asked for his relieving order.
Kerala government should take necessary action against these and other similar issues faced by the Kerala student fraternity in pursuit of higher education outside the State. We should prevent students from joining such colleges and need an effective campaign to spread awareness about these colleges. It would be better if they arrange a rating system for all colleges so that students can choose the better ones.
When I was searching about this college, found this news link. This news came two years back in Hindu.

The current issue has been reported by Mangalam and The New Indian Express.

I would like to discuss some characters of malayalies that I found from my experience. I am not sure about these characters are common to malayalies only may be they can be found in others too. Some years back when I was in college, one of friends had a strange experience from a girl that he never expected. Our class room was divided in two sections of chairs for boys and girls and the last row of chairs was arranged in a single row. One day he was a little late to the class and he found one seat vacant in middle of the last row. Naturally he walked and sat down in that chair joining the boys and girls sections. Suddenly he was asked to move from there by the girl who sat next to him. He shocked and enquired the reason; she said simply “I will loss my internals.” He was a well admired person and I never heard anything wrong about him . We are still wondering what tempted her to behave like that.
If you are watching the people around you can find some subtle characters in them. For example some of them always want to sit in the front seat of the car. They feel inferior in sitting another seat and will do what ever they can to catch the seat. Suppose if they can able to drive no doubt he will be the driver always and be proud in doing that. I am expecting a comment in this post that will surely about me as I am not perfect

Kannur- the most notorious state in Kerala for political killings. For the last three or four months there has been around 12 people killed in Kannur and many political clashes had reported before that. With my knowledge no one including all human right protection organisations taking no remedy to avoid these issues completely. Our media are celebrating the killings and they are not interested in lives of the people, after this media hype usually some compromise occurs between the political parties. The compromise lasts for some months and again leads to the same situation.
Some days back there was a High Court judgement regarding one of the cases in Kannur. It says “Most of the victims in these issues are common people in Kannur “. This statement provoked one political leader in Kerala, he corrected the sentence as “The actual victims are not mere common people they are members of different political parties”. So he knows what is actually happening in Kannur? who all are behind these brutal murders? These people are like heartless animals; they are betraying the whole political aspects to humanness. They are publicly challenging each other in terms of number of killings they committed. I think first time the issues in Kannur got national attention after the attack of AKG Bhavan in Delhi. But still it hasn’t got any importance and sidelined to two day news.
All political parties who are behind these brutal murders should consider the orphaned children, widows, mothers who lost their son and the living victims of the brutal attacks. There must be a solution and we can await a new Kannur without blood shed.
