Transparency Zindabad
Our Supreme Leader is known for his candid views on matters related to governance. For instance, last week in an interview to international news portal Al Bagheera, he said that 90% of Mangovillains are stupid and hence policies do not bear fruit. He also said that only complaints will not do and citizens need to…

Saving the environment
I have been alarmed at reports indicating a sharp rise in the average carbon footprint of the citizens of Mangoville.

Handyman Harry reveals family secrets
I have a confession to make. I have an elder brother by the name Nefarious Narry, also infamous as Moonshine Narasimha among the local police in Totapuri. Nobody except me knows that he is my brother. And my parents of course. The thing is that Narry was always a bit different. Right from childhood he…

Don’t mess with Macho Murugan
Before anyone asks me, let me clarify. I am not a Rajnikant fan. Now that we have it out of the way, I will tell you something about myself. I was born in Gobichettypalayam taluk. Have you ever heard of the place? Good. I hadn’t heard of it either, until my mother told me. All…
