A letter to my Motherland from Adelaide 1

My dear Motherland
It is my honour and privilege to write from a land  Australia a continental world within a world, where your children thrive and survive rendering work earning livelihood without the oppressive hand of bureaucracy and regulatory mechanisms.A beautiful country with incredible coastlines and hospitable people.

Unlike my parents and grandparents I was born in your womb when you were freed from British rule.You had become independent then and our first PM who built you from the scratch, and evolved as great statesman of international repute is now ridiculed by political upstarts and illiterate in economics not aware of  the nuances of devaluation or demonetization but having an inflated ego and misplaced arrogance to fool the people for long  by telling lies and cumulative lies.
When I type this letter Sri Lanka is burning in the wake of deep seated economic and political crisis and this is a lesson for any power mongering politician leading life with the escort of thousand cars, and virtually sapping the energy, sensibility and dignity of people by savage taxation and papering the rich and the corrupt..

Let me go to the text..
You are a vibrant nation, more young and more spiritual as compared to other nations in the world . Yes my dear, great mother land, union of States rich in diversity and different culture..while others are ageing you have a youthful population

In technical language of economics you have the favourable demographic dividend, meaning large youthful workforce which must help generate more output and employment and GDP must make a Quantum jump.In the language of Lawn Tennis it is advantage India..
Oh my dear are you in that position?Is the suggestion mooted in some circle,....go and sell pakoda will be a right way of exploitating your potential as if there's nothing in your bosom to raise fruitful jobs..
I can only remember Poet Bharathi and Pattukottai kalyanasundaram and lament how honesty is penalized and dishonesty is given bonus a la C N Annadurai.
To be continued.
