(This is a translation of my first malayalam blog post. A satire written years back when Govt steeply hiked the fuel prices.)

“Why, do you know him, Gopi Pillai?”

“Oh, I hardly know him, sir. But don’t you see his fuel indicator shows a full tank? Enough to show the wealth of his family. Better to let him go without further fuss, sir. We can avoid a scene…”
