HONESTY, THE JAPANESE WAY

Image
Sometimes back an Indian made a trip to Japan in connection with some business matters. During the stay in Japan, one day he travelled in a city bus there. After getting down from the bus at the destination he noticed that he lost his purse. He immediately asked a Japanese person found close by that where could he find the nearby police station. That man asked him why he is looking for the police station. Our friend told him that he was from India and he lost his purse in the bus. The Japanese then asked him whether his address or local contact could be found in the purse . He told him that he was staying in a hotel and the card of the hotel is available in the purse. The man said. "Nothing to worry. By the time you reach the hotel, the purse would be available there."  Our man reached the hotel after sometime and told the story of the missing purse to the receptionist. He then picked the purse and gave him. He found that nothing was lost from the purse. Someone w...

INDIA DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS (2014 - 2024)

Image
Despite having large resources to exploit, and large number of young and qualified manpower available, for one reason or the other, we could not tap those resources and deploy the manpower. Had we exploited those adequately we could have brought our unemployment level to zero, the per capita income of our people could have been brought up to a much higher level. Our export earnings could have been carried to a higher level. Similarly the import could have brought down considerably. We could also looked for a zero population below poverty line. We must not ignore certain facts prevailing in our country. A good share of our population do not have their own houses. Many of our people are suffering from serious diseases and they don't have enough money to avail proper treatment. There are countless number of parents in our country who cannot provide education to their children. However, despite collecting large sum from the people our governments do not focus their attentio...

WHAT'S THAT DETERMINES ELECTION RESULTS IN INDIA

Image
Amazingly a good number of Indian voters going to the polling booths with no much knowledge about the candidate or the party for whom they want to vote. In some cases the voters have a traditional feeling that their father and grandfather voted to this party, so that they too will vote for the same party. In some other cases the village heads reported to have advised the whole villagers much about voting including the procedures, to which the people strictly adhere to. In some cases the God Himself is brought to the scene and according to the advice of the Supreme One they decide the candidate.(No one may agree this openly and it would be difficult to prove the purity of our democracy. There were also what's app message showing chicken and something else distributed to the public. It would be difficult to prove that the receivers are prospective voters) As per the Census report of 2011, 39.4 percent of the population are illiterates, 37.6 percent...

FIND AN END TO POLITICS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Image
Despite possessing immense natural resources and large manpower to exploit we Indians prefer to be called a poor country. We make no attempt to become the richest country in the world. We still maintain about one fourth of our population below poverty line in international standard. Our successive rulers find no shame in this. Corruption is rampant in our country. Not even a feeble attempt is made to eradicate this cancerous vice from our society. If a government earnestly wishes we can make this country corruption free within thirty days. But who is there to wish! Now, if India really want to target  economic and social development of international level, our prime attempt should be to eradicate politics from schools and colleges. If anyone is adamant to learn politics both theoretically and practically let there be  few political universities. All there practical experiments should be strictly confined within their college campus. Under no circumstances they shou...

ANOTHER WORLD AROUND US !

Image
(Nature's painting of a Rabbit on the sky) Can you imagine that you are living in an area surrounded by high Walls. We can neither see anything outside the wall nor hear anything from there. Sometimes while jumping we may get a glimpse of something outside. Since it is only for a short while, we cannot identify anything from that vision. That may be in a different dimension. However some abnormal or unseen things fell into our vision remain with us for some time.  Normally we call these visions as dreams. Depending upon the clarity of the vision and post analysis of what is seen we may interpret and disclose to others. Normally they may not get any idea of it is all about. Then, sometimes together we may keep interpreting it. These can be based on our aspirations, fear etc. There may not be any imaginary vision registered in our eyes. It is like a camera. All photos taken are real only. Nothing imaginary. However in the absence of proper light or irregular focusing the ...

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Image
Just think about  When you hate man, you hate your Creator too. Your prayers too may be left unheard until you correct yourself. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നിങ്ങൾ മറ്റൊരു മനുഷ്യനെ വെറുക്കുമ്പോൾ അയാളുടെ സ്രഷ്ടാവായ ദൈവത്തെയും വെറുക്കുകയാണ്. സ്വയം തിരുത്തുന്നതുവരെ നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രാർത്ഥനകൾ പോലും ദൈവം കേൾക്കുകയില്ല.
