With demand for more states spreading like rapid fire, here are few innovative suggestions for specific groups.
1. State Name: "PMK Nadu"

The Saviours of Mother Earth
It was a cold Tuesday morning when the alarm went off. Govardhan woke up from his sleep and turned it off. But before turning it off, he couldn't help but admire the new dynamic design plastic casing mobile that produced the sound. He switched on his bedroom light and found his way to washroom.
The bath fittings were perfect as he desired, made of high quality imported ceramic, glass and plastic. After a warm shower, he noticed that he still had time for the event.
The Event!! How long he has been waiting for this! An international forum in which he's been chosen as the Chairman.
Slowly he came down to his kitchen. His refrigerator was stocked full with his favorite fruits and few eggs. Since it was too early for the maid to arrive yet, he took an apple, an egg, and prepared a bread-toast in the toaster made by one of the top quality houseware brands.
Tring, tring!! "God, why someone always calls during breakfast?!" he cursed, shot up and picked up the receiver.
"Goodmorning Mr. Govardhan! Dr. Srini here."
"Oh yes, doctor. How very nice of you calling me in this early morning." Only he knew the meaning of what he said, and continued, "So, is anything urgent?"
"Just to remind you to collect your MRI from ABC Hightech Scans and meet me by 2 pm today." This doctor had a great ranking system for his patients based on their networth!
"Very kind of you doctor. I'll come and meet you at 2 pm sharp."
"Thankyou."
"Thankyou", Govardhan clicked the receiver back in place and checked his watch. It was almost time to start for the meeting.
His dark blue BMW 730d was waiting in the portico. His chaffeur was quick to open the back door and let in his boss. Within no second, the car shot off towards the City Hall.
-------------------
When he took his place in diaz, Govardhan noticed that all arrangements were done upto the exacting standards that he always demanded from his people. PET bottles with water before each speaker, Bose sound system for best quality sound (but whether such kind of quality is required for a monologue, oops, "mono" speech, is altogether a different matter), soothing carpets plastered perfectly to the floor with invisible high quality polyurethane adhesives.
Once everyone had settled in their places, the host of the show delivered welcome address and requested Govardhan to give the presidential address.
Now, the Chairman of MAP (Men Against Plastics) slowly rose from his place. Savoring a moment of applause from a mad crowd, he then started declaring in bold voice:
"Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome you all! It feels great to be among this crowd - which is dead against the use of plastics in their life and that leads by example leading a life with very minimal or no use of plastics....!"
He continued his speech without any guilt about the level of plastics that he had let in his life!

Long Live Capitalism!
Everyone is out for blood of Ramalinga Raju. But just look at the following statements.
Ramalinga Raju, one who's let down Satyam's investors (i.e. paper owners):
"It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten."
Alan Greenspan, one who was the Chairman of US Federal Reserve between 1987 and 2006 and who's let down an entire nation:
"I really didn't get it until very late in 2005 and 2006."
Long live capitalism! :)
