In dire Straits!

For those of you who are catching up on the big news item in Tamilnadu,

here is an update.. Peters Sellers style.

Fact: The sethusamudhram project is high on the news list

Fact: The religious and political connotations have a big role to play in how this project gets decided..

Also Fact: Rama's monkeys threw little boulders with Ram's name written on it, into the sea to make this bridge which has apparently lasted 1.356 jillion years. Of course all agencies from NASA to the NSA will vouch for this...

Also also fact: The Government will throw bundles of rupees into the same sea with Mahatma Gandhi's picture on it to undo Ramas bridge. At which point, Gandhi will turn in his grave so much that he will churn the seas and the bridge will start to disappear!

The end goal is to revive the economy of the local Indian coastline and make Tuticorin a port that would make waves in the international port scene.

One hopes that the amount of money spent on

legal fees and courtroom battles
loss of revenue from protests, bandhs, walkouts
posters printed for and against the case

will be less than than the

total economic benefit from the port
cost savings from fuel economy for ships circling Sri Lanka

over the next 0.0000000000001356 jillion years.

Viva Politics!
