Normal And Abnormal

According to media reports the survivor of sexual assault case involving known film actor has approached the upper court seeking justice. It is reported that serious allegations have been raised against the trial court and the government in various aspects concerning the petition. Even though the truth behind this is to come out after hearing by the upper court, such incidents may persuade the common man of the country in suspecting many aspects concerning the fundamentals of our democracy prevailing here. We must be having shiploads of law in our country. Thousands of people including experts of law are directly and indirectly engaged in interpreting these to the people including millions of illiterate ones. Here comes the prime question. Can our democratic government ensure cent per cent justice in cent per cent matters to cent per cent people? K V George

Electric vehicles may replace the conventional fuel oil driven vehicles in the coming years. This transition will bring more automobile manufacturers into the new arena. More people may enter into battery manufacturing industries. Above all this will open the doors for common man to get into automobile sector by battery charging services. Since much of an investment is not required for this service, at current estimation, more people can be expected into this field, provided the government do not impose taxes and other charges and unbearable terms and conditions. The central government may try to make constructive efforts to popularise electric vehicles by providing tax concession of electric vehicles as well as spares and other relevant components. More electric vehicles in the country may contribute considerable shavings foreign exchange reserves. Above all, atmospheric pollution shall be brought down considerably. The price of ordinary electric cars should be kept within...

  Bedroom is the most important part of every house as the inmates spent about half of their  lives there. In order to create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere there we all do our best within our reach to design it properly, furnish and provide the apt colour scheme.

According to   reliable estimate, 7% of the world population are atheists. The remaining are believing in some forms of gods. Each one of them believe that his/her  mental formation of the God is right.  Each of them also have the obstinacy of knowing the God fully. Some of those may even go to the extent of naming all the relatives of God. Unfortunately, none come out to say, 'I don't know God'.  All such 'knowledgeable' people believe that God is the creator of everything in this universe. They know all about those, they think. They proudly raise their heads and say that those who belong to other religions do not know anything about God. While each religion prepare the followers to reach the Almighty One, they also ensure to tell them that all other religions are wrong in their conceptions of the Divinity. Even some of those go the extent of narrating about the heaven which is abode of God they believe. Whatever may be the outcome of the religious fait...

For quite sometime food makers in Kerala were looked free to prepare food and serve the public at their will and pleasure. Whether the served food was safe to eat or not was their last concern, at least for some of them. People of the state are surprisingly watching what is going around in a number of hotels. Finally people have come to know that there is a Food Safety Department in Kerala. Though a beginning is being proclaimed strongly,  it is yet to be confirmed the contour of the activity area of the department. For over a week the Food Safety Department has conducted raids in about 2,000 hotels and restaurants across Kerala. Over 180 of them found to have been working without valid licence. Notices have been served over 630 for not maintaining proper hygiene and for sticking spoiled food. 159 samples have been collected from these shops and sent for testing. The team has also seized over 6 tonnes of rotten or formalin or other chemical laced fish. The team has so f...

  In the 11th conference of CMs and Chief Justice, in New Delhi, Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi asked to find ways to release 3.5 lakhs undertrial prisoners from prisons all over India. In this conference, the Chief Justice of India Sri N V Ramana said, "if laws are passed with clarity of thought and people's welfare in mind" litigation will be minimised. In 2020, there were 1291 undertrial prisoners who had been in jail for more than half the period of sentence for the accused offence cumulatively. This very clearly shows that innocent people are falling into our jails. They are not punished for their errors but the error of the law makers. The Chief Justice said that the legislature and the executive and the low number of judges, for the huge pendency of 4.8 crores cases in courts. The Government of India may look into this seriously and find ways and means to overcome this pathetic situation. Innocents should not be allowed to be put behind bars. (Indebte...

Dreams  are images created by our mind when we sleep. These images can be in the order of a story or a simple incident. It can be a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Atleast some scientists admit that regardless of the faith of any individual there are numerous instances in which dreams actually do come true in ways that were not anticipated. Researchers have found that the brain's activity during sleep may explain the capacity of dreams to foretell the future. Though certain individual scientists do admit that some dreams come true, science as a whole do not say that dreams comes true with the support of any theories. When we look at the dreams through the philosophical angle we can have broader view. Most of us believe that everything in this universe are originated from God. Therefore, in other words, we all are the minutest forms of God. When the Supreme One is omnipresen...

Time and again our politicians in power make loud proclamation to the world that India will overtake Chinese economy by next year or an year after that and so on. It is nothing but befooling the illiterate Indians. Before making such claims they must at least take a glance of the statistics of the top world economies. According to the reports of IMF the top ranking countries in the world in nominal GDP as on the year 2021 are: World $91.98 Tn US $20.49 Tn China $13.40 Tn Japan $4.97 Tn Germany $4.00 Tn UK $2.83 Tn France $2.78 Tn India $2.72 Tn Italy $2.07 Tn Brazil $1.87 Tn Canada $1.71Tn While US is on top in the list, China is on number 2 with $13.40 Tn and India is on 7th with $2.72 Tn. China is about five times above us. At current rate of growth it is nearly impossible for us to reach the level of China in 50 years. We must first ask ourselves as to what we are doing now to bring up our GDP level. The answer must be nothing. Our prime assets towards this direction are...

According to media reports  Pakistan has refined the terrorist attacks against India by using drons for sometime. A country that has fallen into the hands of terrorists using all its resources, at the cost of the well being of its own people, against India since long. Since 2005 this heinous act claimed 707 lives and injured over 3200 people. In most cases the victims are innocent ones who have nothing to do with terrorism or their demands or theories. Since it is impossible to tackle terrorism peacefully we may look for alternative means. It would be better we may refer the matter to UN once again after consultation with friendly nations. We may also suggest ways and means to deal with terrorism sponsoring countries. Initially let UN warn them with consequences. Even though we wish to remain peaceful with our neighbour countries like Pakistan and China are doing their best to irritate us the maximum possible. India may specifically seek what action UN may take in this ...
