My Scribbling Pad

1.India has the world’s third largest population suffering from AIDS.
2.Mumbai – AIDS capital of India.
3.Palakkad – District having largest number of AIDS patients in Kerala.

 I was shocked to hear the 3rd fact because it is my district and I never thought my district would grab first position in this.I was even more shocked when I came to know that second position goes to Thrissur,  cultural capital of the state!!

When I asked my father about his, he told that it was because Palakkad is the border of Kerala and Tamilnadu and a lot of drivers pass through this way.When I did a research on this in the internet, found it to be true.

I hope to see an ‘Ustad Condom Van’ (which spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and the usage of condoms mainly among the most vulnerable section – truck drivers and their attendants) on the roads of my district very soon.It surely will not be a good sight but as we say prevention is always better than cure.
