Late July, 2018. What seemed to be an unassuming day for most of us, would soon convert to living nightmare for the residents of Kerala.  Out of the fourty two dams, thirty five had to be opened. For the first time in 26 years, all five overflow gates of the Idukki dam were opened at the same  time. Hi, I am Sayon Bhattacharya and welcome to Hexarius. Let's read on and understand the nature of the situation and what we can do to prevent and recover from this tragedy. To better understand the gravity of the situation, let's break down the situation into discrete points and analyse them, starting with- 1. Cause:  Perhaps unsurprisingly some of most educated member of our government, to the likes of recently appointed RBI Board member, Mr Gurumurthy, may think that women's entry to the Sabrimala temple and presence of Christians and Muslims have caused the flood in Kerala, well that's far from what's true.

Greetings dear readers, my name is Sayon Bhattacharya. My heartiest wishes to all the readers and warm welcome to Hexarius. Read on as we look into the fiscal disparity contributing to nations being rich and poor. So, without further ado, lets unveil the truth behind the perpetuity of poverty. As of 2018, there are some 196 countries in the world out which the top 20 nations are very rich meaning, having the average per capita income of over $ 100,000 per year. On the far side of the same spectrum we have the 20 nations where the per capita income is less than $ 1,000 per year or under $ 3 per day. ( Source ) Looking at the growth charts one might believe that all nations are on the path to grow, but the poor ones are growing really slow. So much so that if Zimbabwe continues at it's current growth rate, it is projected that Zimbabwe will only qualify as a rich country in 2722 years! The question that we should ask is why some countries are more successful and oth...
