Politicians insomnia

Insomnia is a contagious disease.

First it was the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who had a bout of insomnia when he found he couldn't sleep over a terror suspect Hafeez was arrested in Australia.

Now, it is the turn of his ally, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi.

Expressing anguish over the plight of Sri Lankan Tamils, Karunanidhi said: "The future of Tamil race has become a question mark. I am unable to sleep, whenever I think of it. Let us save the Tamil race and its honour. Let us avoid the racial genocide in Sri Lanka at whatever price."

Is he aware that the whole of Tamil Nadu is unable to sleep, not because of the reason Karunanidhi cited for his insomnia, but because there is 8-9 hours power cut, of which at least 4 hours is in the night. In many areas power is switched off from 10pm to midnight and in some other areas it is from 3 am to 6 am?

If only our esteemed leaders (sic) lose some sleep about affairs concerning the ordinary citizen, the country will be a much better place to live in.
