Normal And Abnormal

I have been writing here time and again about the huge availability of money for the government. Unfortunately instead of opting for it our own elected governments always prefer to squeeze the people as much as possible. According to three different sources of information, the black money available in India now is: a) Over $10 trillion b) Rs 900 lakhs crore c) As per unconfirmed report of the World Bank, 20% of our GDP is available in black money. A common man of this country, that is I myself, suggest once again to the Government of India, to give the black money holders opportunity to invest this money in some selected priority sectors without declaring the source of income, but by payment of the existing rate of basic income tax plus a 10% penalty. If about 50% of the black money could be pumped out through this offer it would be a big gain for the government. Please consider this and give relief to the people in petrol, cookingas and umpteen other things. And if this ca...

Prices of many grocery items and almost all vegetables have become unaffordable to common man. If there is a reason for this it is the Central and State Governments together to sort out the matter. When a democratic government do not allow it's people to eat their food within their paltry income, such governments are admitting their failure to rule the country. Since we have created, may be over a billion people, who cannot resist and even respond to whatever atrocities are created against them, they may subside to these and finally cease to exist. Earlier in Kerala, some political parties write all over the available places about the price rise and conduct umpteen number of meetings and asked the ruling government to quit. Now such writings or meetings are not found anywhere in the state. This shows that such parties were not showing sympathy to the people and trying to help them. It was mere political publicity! Whatever it may be, all concerned departments of the sta...

(Image courtesy - The Indian Express) What is happening in our country! No other words than shameful to say. A 21 year old girl seeking employment was called to the house and raped by a Chief Secretary, a Labour Commissioner and a business man in our own country as per report by a leading Malayalam daily sometime back. Why it is repeated here because it is continued in different forms relentlessly. According to The Hindu dated August 21, 2024, it was reported that there were cases against 16 MPs and 135 MLAs  about crime against women. It is further said that it was based on an analysis of 755 out of 776 affidavits of sitting  MPd.3938 of 4033 MLAs from all 28 states and 8 union territories for the last five years.  What is the future of our country for women? What is the fate of the women in our country? Can we not say an effective no to this? Why can't this issue be brought into the root level of school syllabus? Why can't we impose much serious punishment f...

As per available information an estimated number of 50 lakhs migrant workers are in Kerala in 2025. Most of these workers are found in building construction work, brick kiln, plantation, manufacturing industries and fisheries. According to an estimate of 2021 about 26 percent of the workforce in Kerala are migrant workers from other states. About 58% of the workforce in fisheries are migrant wirkers.The remittance made by these workers to their homes is approximately Rs 7.5 billion per annum. About 57% of the workforce in Ernakulam district is from other states. Of late, it has been found that good number of these workers involved in criminal activities like narcotics traffic, sexual assault, burglary etc.  Some of these migrant workers are reported to have used by political parties. We may find soon that a good number of these workers will move to become settled in Kerala permanently. On the other hand it has been noticed that a large per cent of students from Kerala g...

Except few atheists each one of us believe in God. The strength of our belief is underlined by adding that my God is the real One. All others' are wrong. This is primarily taught by the religion. If we can get out of this thought and look at ourselves we see God. And when we look at all around us one by one our realisation is completed. Neither our physical brain nor our conceptual brain can conceive the Real Super One.   Once we understand this we can become humble.  That humility is knowledge; knowledge of ourselves add everything else. Erroneously we look for the Almighty One in temples, churches, behind sculptures que formations, paintings, lamps etc. If we know the truth that everything in the universe has God in it and there is nothing else other than God anywhere, it would be easier to identify the Supreme One.
