Normal And Abnormal

What are all happened in Vizhinjam region were unprecedented in Kerala. As usual in many other parts of the country a bad situation is made worse by antisocial elements here too. There  are also some power centres  playing from behind the seen, can also be reasonably suspected. Whoever must be trying to induce the situation are doing this without knowing the very dangerous consequences of it. Or, they are not bothered about what would happen to our country. We all must know that we are playing with the poverty of a section of our own society. The antisocial people who pretend to be acting like extreme patriots must not be knowing the meaning of patriotism. Any action that hamper peace within our Motherland can only be caused by antisocial elements. The people may look around always and find such antisocial activities and discourage those instantly. This is written with the sole interest of peace and harmony within our country always. Jai Bharat Mata! K V George

As per the prevailing financial situation of the state, it may not be possible to disburse the salary of the government employees after a couple of months. It is the duty of the opposition parties to suggest ways and means to the government to overcome this precarious situation. Surprisingly the media too is focusing on petty political issues than discussing more important subjects like the pathetic financial state of the government. When the media and the opposition parties allege financial mismanagement of the government they should also suggest ways and means to get over from this. All said and done the state government is in a red hot spot. It may not be that easy to

According to media reports a large rally is being organised in Thiruvananthapuram on 30th November 22 by RSS/BJP. Explosive orators may be addressing this big gathering. Such speeches, if made,  against any particular community it can only worsen the situation. No one is going to gain anything from this but will only hurt one another. I think many of the Malayalis have not suffered from communal riots. As such they do not know the consequences of it. It may create irreparable loss to the state. Under the existing circumstances, it would be ideal that the Chief Minister may have a meeting with the representatives of the fishing community and plainly tell them what the government can offer them under the existing financial condition of the state. Promise may be made only to the extent that could be honoured. However, under whatever circumstances, the proposed rally can contribute nothing to resolve the issue but will only adding fuel to fire. Let us all hope for a peaceful re

           (Image courtesy -                      onmanorama) The  present situation in Kerala has more depth and gravity than many people consider. This should have been subsided much earlier with a composed approach by the government. What is going on in Vizhinjam is misinterpreted by different political parties, media and religious groups in their own choice. But none could see it as a fight for survival of the poor. After seeing what is happened yesterday, only very few could imagine that our state is at the brink of an explosive situation. Under no circumstances we should  allow to repeat what is happened in different parts of North India years before. Some vested interests are trying to convert this into a communal violence. They only try to add fuel to fire. I wish to pray the fighting communities that they should not lose their cool while presenting their problems at any level. I would like to request all concerned authorities including the police to ensure peace wh

(Takuma Asano #18 scoring against Germany) It is by Mohd Bin Salman in his vision 2030 made the foundation for Saudi Arabia to clinch a historical win against England in Qatar World Cup. And it was Takuma Asano the 28 years old for Japan made the winning shot against Germany in another match next day.  Coming from the reserve bench in the 57th minute he scored the stunning goal against Germany and assured the great Japanese win in world football. Every Indian must be anxious to see such a moment four our country. People from all over the country would like to ask to all concerned that can we ever pick 11 world class footballers from the 140 crores Indians. Let us understand the fact that sports make a country equally prestigious as it becomes wealthy or an armed power. I wish to tell my fellow countrymen as well as the top leaders in different offices that let us throw our stinking politics into waste bins and concentrate on the development of our country to bring it into t

Clairvoyance is believed to be a faculty for perceiving things of future beyond our sensory contacts. A clairvoyant is always acting as a medium in all clairvoyance sessions. A clairvoyant is a person considered to have abnormal ability to perceive things of future beyond sensory contacts. In a clairvoyance session, the clairvoyant with the ability of extra sensory perception gain information about person, object, location, events etc. Science do not support clairvoyance as any form of science but consider it as self delusion, wishful thinking, hallucinations etc. However, during cold war time USA and Russia were believed to have used Remote Sensing or Extra Sensory Perception to gather information about remote geographical location. In Indian Yoga system this is said to be 'Divya Dhrishti' (Divine eyes) While looking into the facts behind Clairvoyance we must also consider that credibility of psychic claims are weakened by proven psychic fraud over the

The  plain answer to this question is a firm 'yes'. If there is a will there is a way. Here it is not one way but hundreds of ways are there but the will, that is tough to raise. Our country has already submerged deep into corruption. In fact our society has accepted corruption as a customary need. We have tonnes of laws to prevent corruption and many departments are functioning to eliminate corruption but no one bothers about those. While Denmark, New Zealand, Finland etc are the least corrupt countries in the world India ranks 85th as per world corruption perception index of 2021. In fact we do not take any result oriented steps to eradicate corruption from our country. If the reports appeared in the media from various sources from time to time have any truth, huge amount of unaccounted money raised through corrupt sources are floating  in our country. Our black money is reported to have deposited in different foreign banks for quite long. Since our democratic sys

(Image courtesy - You Tube) Almost all Malayalam TV news channels conduct political debates all seven days in a week. Generally current issues are taken as the subject for discussion. Major political parties are made to participate in this. Almost every day the debate reach the boiling point while concluding. When one says yes the other says no is the prime trend of the discussion. Unfortunately these debates normally looks like comedy shows in most days because of the ignorance exposed by some of the participants. In some occasions the law itself were misinterpreted by learned people. This is done to express their loyalty to the party they belong to. In fact the subjects for debate is selected by channels to draw more viewers than for the benefits of the state. The state government is at the rock bottom level of economic growth. The government is trying hard to meet the day to day needs . There are many issues needs urgent attention. Unfortunately none of our news channels

Indian  cricket team has shamefully surrendered to the English team in the semi final. Had they won that match it would have been the win of the Cup. Lot of people are the shareholders of this 10 wicket defeat. Those include the players, the team management, the coaches, the BCCI and some sections of the media. Decades ago a team was picked from a choice list of hardly 20-25 players. Now we have selection choice of 200 - 250 players. Unfortunately we don't have a winning at all. Why it is said is because our loss to England was for 10 wickets. If we had lost for one or two wickets this discussion would not have come up at all. Today's bowlers have umpteen ways to study the weakness of the opposition batsman. This has been well exploited by our opposition teams, especially England. Now we must go for a more accurate and result oriented selection process. It is suggested to keep three experienced players for this purpose. The team selected should be retained for the p

According to a news report appeared in The Times of India some time back 10,187 POCSO cases were pending in various courts of Kerala. Consequent upon the increse of crime against children, the number of cases coming to the courts are considerably increasing. There are now 28 special courts in the state to handle POCSO cases. Yet, these seems to be inadequate to deal with as the crime rate is almost double by successive years. While 2,384 POCSO cases were registered in 2015 it was almost doubled in 2018. The state Chief Minister  told earlier that more courts would come up soon to deal with crimes committed against women and children in the state. Due to the paucity of trial facilities the cases are pending in the courts for longer period and this helps the criminals to roam around freely and commit more crimes. Beyond all these, keeping the criminals into prison for few years and feeding them well do not make the desired results unless they are made to reform f

Election is an opportunity for the Indians to make the country dirty the maximum possible. As many walls as possible in the country are used for writing and pasting  posters for election campaign. Over and above these flag posts are erected on way side hampering traffic movements. Even posters are found stuck on the highways. In railway stations in Kerala, publicity boards of Trade Unions are found more than the public information boards. Unfortunately none of our political parties have learnt so far that these wall writing,  posters etc wouldn't fetch even one vote for any party. Yet they keep doing this blemishes. Many countries including USA with a population over 33 crores and Fiji with a mere 9 lakhs population do not do these dirty campaign. When spoil the surroundings the people of Kerala must think that it is a well known tourist destination in the world, the state is striving hard to meet the day to day needs of the people and tourism is one of the largest scop

This is a question we must ask ourselves. Wealth is denoted by GDP, pci and ppp of a country. We will find the top countries in GDP. USA, China, Japan, Germany, India, UK, France, Brazil, Italy and Canada can be found in this list. However the GDP per capita varies from the above list. Quatar, Macao, Luxembourg, Singapore, Brunei, Ireland, UAE, Kuwait, Switzerland and San Marino come on top in this list. What makes a country wealthy? It is nothing but the natural resources available in that country and the man power available  there  to exploit those. According to IMF,  on a per capita income basis, India ranked 142nd by GDP (nominal) and 125th by GDP (ppp). While placed at 4th in the world ranking in GDP why we become low placed in per capita income? Economists may say it is because of the high population. It must be wrong. It is the same high population that brought the high GDP. When it is distributed it is shared by more numbers. That is the fact. Less people are allowe

Sree  Narayana Guru must be one of the greatest human being, may be beyond that, ever born in this holy land. He had Jesus Christ in him, Sree Krishna in him and also Swami Vivekananda in him. He taught great human philosophy in the simplest language. He was not confined himself in temples or any other places of worship. His teachings are not within the framework of ethical and moral code of any religion. He did not preach any faith. He said about the Supreme One in his own language. One cast, one God and one religion is for all men is his prime teaching. He could be the model of modesty and purity. About 25% of the state population constitutes the followers of Sree Narayana Guru. SNDP was the rudimentary organisation for the followers of the Guru. This has since been well established both financially and with political support. Other than having some educational institutions, hospitals and old age homes within the state, what have been done nationally or internationally to

    (Image courtesy - iStock) Small  pox took the lives of 300 millions people in the 20th century or it took the lives of 500 millions in the final hundred years before deporting from this world. In my younger days I have heard many unbelievable stories associated with small pox. I was born in Changancherry in the later years of the first half of the 20th century. During a decade ago Changancherry was severely infected with small pox. Countless number of deaths took place in the whole region. Death around were daily stories. When the daily death toll gone beyond the handling rim, the Metropolitan Church of Changancherry had extended the then existing cemetery and one portion was kept separated with a high wall reserved for small pox deaths. Dead bodies were brought usually in the night and no funeral rites were performed in the presence of a priest, it was told. But that was no solution as no people were found willing to bring the dead body to the cemetery as no one were a

(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. 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 brought into the root level of school syllabus? Why can't we impose much serious punishment for rape in any form? What can we expect from the sociologists, educationalists, eminent lawyers and the well known media of our country? What is that the thousands of religious leaders teach their followers? It is high time that we must leave the beaten path in every level. It is high time that our youngsters should come to the cen

(Image courtesy, The Indian Express) In a recently held election in the cooperative sector in Midnapore, West Bengal election, CPIM joined with BJP and they have won 52 seats out of a total of 63 seats, according to the news reports. This can be seen as an alliance in the  ensuing Panchayat and the subsequent Assembly elections. Since power is more important than anything else one may be constrained to approve it. More than that, God and Communism are two rare ingredients for the people and they would like to taste it. When these are all realities the ongoing tussle between the CM and the Governor are likely to be interfered by the central leadership of both the parties and may be called off any time. We all may call it a gimmick tomorrow. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" K V George 

Many of the newspapers  have reported about the observation made by the Governor of Kerala about the academic qualifications of the ministers some times back. In case any political elements are believed to have concealed in the statement, we may leave it but concentrate on the substance of the subject. Since it is not an isolated issue of the state of Kerala but it pertains to the whole country and, therefore, needs discussion at various levels across the country. The one who manages the entire health establishments of the state or the whole country should essentially have the medical knowledge as recognised. Similarly the one who oversees the law and justice machinary should have fairly good knowledge of law of the land. The minister of roads and bridges cannot escape by saying that he has not studied engineering. An agricultural minister should know all about the seeds, fertilizers, irrigation etc to manage his portfolio. Above all an illiterate cannot be entrusted with t

(Routine protests in front of the secretariat of Kerala) If the news reports can be believed, the government of Kerala is at its rock bottom level of revenue of the state exchequer. Despite having wide variety of opportunities to raise the income the government is not at all focusing on such avenues but appears to have focused on - 1) displacement of the Governor, 2) finding ways and means to take severe disciplinary action against the V.C. appointed by the Governor, 3) protecting the seat of the Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram. All concerned must know that the people are neither against the government nor against the Governor nor against any Mayor. The people only want that they should not be put into troubles. They have the aspirations for economic growth and a better living atmosphere. If these cannot be provided they cannot stand with such governments irrespective of the ideology it promise. Our educational institutions, health establishments, infrastructure especially road

According to the news reports in a leading daily of Kerala, the price of Sardine (Chala/Mathi) fishing in Chellanam (Ernakulam) harbour is a mere Rs 20/- to Rs 30/- a kg. Whereas a little away in the market the same fish is sold at Rs 120/- to Rs 150/- a kg. It is not a secret. Both sides i.e the killer and the killed know it. The victims have adequate resources to counter it. But unfortunately they silently concede. Above all, we have a government which said to be always standing with the poor and the downtrodden. Surprisingly, in such cases they seem to prefer the seat among the killers. And the opposition parties of the state, appear to have never heard about such  things! This is the same case with poor cultivators. Dear poor fishing community and the suppressed agriculturalists, you may come out from the cave of silence. You may stop selling it to the middle men. You may directly sell it to the consumer at your preferred price. You will gain and the consumer too. There

A leading daily of Kerala came out with news bit alongwith a photo of Collector of Pathanamthitta speaking in a film festival. Some people have taken it like an unforgivable crime committed by her. In fact what is wrong with it? Film festival itself is an entertainment matter. She was neither presenting an annual budget of the country nor delivering a welcome speach to honour a great foreign personality.  Let us try to learn to ignore what is to be ignored. All unwanted subjects should not be bundled and put on the head and supply to others. It can only stink all. This is nothing but the short coming in our educational syllabus in school. Let us formulate a proper syllabus for our coming generations. K V George 

(Image courtesy - The Times of India) According to media reports the government of Kerala has taken a decision to ward off corruption from the state. If the government is determined, it may not be difficult to enforce the decision. In order to  implement this more effectively, the following may also be taken care of. The anti corruption law should be made brief and unequivocal. Irrespective of the amount of money involved, the punishment should be dismissal from service forthwith with a minimum penalty of ten times the money involved in the concerned activity plus imprisonment as the case may be. In the case of suppliers, contractors etc those  involved or corroborated in the action, registration of such firms should be cancelled immediately. Such person/firm should not be considered for any future business with the state. Alongwith these, it should be made mandatory that the names of any government official or politician approach with any recommendation for the accused sho

(Ganja plants - image courtesy, India Times) Let  the government and the people move hand in hand, no narcotics can get into this state. Pay handsomely to those give information about narcotics movement. Their identity should not be revealed under any circumstances. Addicts may be forcefully rehabilitated. Any official corruption involved in this should be severely dealt with. Narcotics should be included in the school syllabus from class 4 to 12. Let us join the government in making our state of Kerala a narcotics free one. K V George
