FREE RICE, FREE TV, FREE GAS AND NOW FREE HIV!!!
The Tamil Nadu Government has been flooding the homes of Tamil Nadu with freebies to the extent of setting a sense of complacency among recipients while the economic analysts were pondering over what would be the cost or the sacrifice that the people of Tamil Nadu would have to bear for this generousity by the Government.
The revelation came only a bit too soon and the cost was the ultimate the people of Tamil Nadu could have been asked to pay. As an add-on with the freebies the Tamil Nadu Government Officials may have also injected free HIV Virus into the most vulnerable sections of the society through their vast network of Government hospitals and dispensaries where an investigation by a television channel revealed rampant re-use of unsterlized syringes.
But why this situation when the Government had allocated more than Rs. 200 crores for healthcare in Tamil Nadu? The answer is simple that Government in fact procures the freebies from the tax payers’ money. And just as people who do not have sufficient earnings sell their organs and blood to earn bread for their family, the Government is eating into the healthcare budget and taking our life to get us the freebies.
This is a rude wake-up call not only for the people of Tamil Nadu but for every citizen of the country to come out of this myth of freebies offered by politicians and realize that everything in this materialistic world comes at a cost.

Because Hari, we breed like flies and prepared to die like flies. The daily grind of an Indian strolling near poverty line is such that their biggest achievemt is they have managed to arrange bread and "butter"(what an irony I have to use this) for the stated day. And no "secular" media is carrying it forward as breaking news.

Freebies dont come for nothing: there have been examples of how greedy people can get really get, with even the relatively affluent masquerading as poor to get a 'sarkaar' teevee set. One Tamil newspaper even carried a very revealing photo of one set perched atop the study table of a super rich kid--as shown by the presence of an airconditioner, a snazzy double bed, a LCD monitor and music system in the photo. Apparently, the teevee had been procured by a servant and handed over to the owner out of loyalty.
One is only reminded of the crazy rush to get tsunami houses, with father, mother, son, son-in-law--all from the same household--queing up to get a house each! One can only say people's rule, zindabaad!

Hi Hari... after a really really long spell of silence I am back to read your blog...
Wow! you stunned me with this article..I had no clue! and I feel such an idiot...
How irresponsible can the Govt be..and how much more irresponsible can people be?
Why dont people see through this "Free" stuff for a vote in bargain? Its not for a cause and that's so apparent...
And what's sadder still is that this is irreversible.. and affects those who dont even read these blogs and news! :(
Very saddening...
