Normal And Abnormal

We may sorrowfully notice the fact that the trend of abandoning old aged parents by children are increasing considerably in Kerala. While some parents are left in old age homes, some left in government hospitals and some are left in temples or in streets. According to available information about 16.5% of population of Kerala  constituted elderly people in 2015. This is likely to reach over 20% by 2023. Can we assure our own parents a comfortable old age living in our own houses? Before finding an answer to this, we may probe to find the answer that who are responsible to this situation. Number one is the parents themselves, because they could not make an unbreakable emotional attachment to the children. The next is our educational system. So far, it seems that our educational system has not identified this issue as an important one to be included in the school syllabus at appropriate density. Then comes our religions. They are more concerned in protecting the all powerf...

Hindu as well as Buddhist philosophy of India give great significance to a guest visiting us. This great saying denotes our age old culture. We treat guest as God 'Athithi Devo Bhava' means Guest is God. When our country is giving too much significance to Tourism, every Indian must learn the meaning of these words and it's significance in the tourism sector. While focusing on international tourism we can find that the tourist inflow to our country and the revenue from it, we are much below many countries. The ITDC as well as KTDC may give more attention to the tourists visiting and all those facilitated to them. The most important among these is the network within . the country especially road and rail transport should not be suspended under any reason. Suspension of transport make the tourist stranded in an unfamiliar situation and spoil their tour itinerary. Another common nuisance is closing of shops mainly by political parties under the name of some protests...

Just think about  Some people usually say about others with grudge when they succeed in something: "His time is good." But they do not know the truth behind it that the good time is created by the successful one himself. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  പലരും മറ്റുള്ളവരെപ്പറ്റി അസൂയയോടെ പറയുന്നതു കേൾക്കാം : "അവന്റെ സമയം നല്ലതാണ്." പക്ഷെ, അവരാരും ഒരു കാര്യം അറിയുന്നില്ല; ആ സമയം അയാൾ സ്വയം സൃഷ്ടി ച്ചെടുത്തതാണെന്ന സത്യം!

   (Penguin on the vast icy land of        Antarctica) Spider silk is stronger than steel Spider silk is too light and flexible. Soldiers can use it to prevent bullets. Though it is very strong as steel and can be used for different purposes, it cannot be widely used as producing and harvesting of spider silk is found very difficult. Antartica is a desert Icy terrain with mountainous topography, Antartica is actually classified as a desert. This southernmost continent get little moisture falls from the sky.

We are always influenced by the circumference, the situation and the environment. Intelligence is a tool we apply under these favourable circumstances. Luck is nothing but an imaginary concept. Luck in real terms is, the right effort at the right time at the place. Nothing beyond that. Enviornment or situation is not our creation.  It is provided to us at the appropriate time. Many could not avail those opportunities; not even identify it. Only a few could avail every opportunity that comes to their way. We call them successful ones. A few call them lucky ones.  Oppertunity is something like food found suddenly when become hungry. These food can be in different forms for different people. Some may be ready to eat ones. And some may be raw food. Both will however fully get rid off hunger. There may not be anyone pass away from this world without being provided any opportunities. However, many pass away without availing any of those. How we identify these may be a de...
