JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU AND ME

This strange incident took place in my younger days. The day was Wednesday. Date 27 May 1964. After finishing the breakfast, I started the spade work of making a pencil portrait of some big people. I had big collection of paper cuttings of national and international leaders. I had gone through many faces. Finally made up my mind to draw the portrait of the then Prime Minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru. I took the model photo and started sketching. By about 12.30 I have completed the work. The picture looked so good. I myself was highly impressed by the portrait of the Indian PM.

Now I wanted to write a word of salutation under the picture. in Malayalam.  I went through many words. Finally selected the word ADARANJALIKAL. In fact I didn't know that this word was used for homage, not for living people. By about 1.00 pm I had completed the writing and hanged the portrait on the wall very proudly.

By around 2.30 pm came the unbelievable news; "Nehru Passed Away". Really shocking news. My ignorance caused error has converted into a truth. I still do not know what made me to write that  word of curse.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
