GIVE DEATH PENALTY FOR RAPE

Image
Rape, rape everywhere rape in our country! According to the report by Statatista there are 28,046 rape cases in 2020 and 31,677 in 2021 in India.  Young children are raped and killed, thrown to the fields bleeding. Girls below ten are raped by men above sixty. Eighty years old woman is raped and thrown to the drainage by a boy of 20+ and a passer-by saved her and admitted in the hospital. Recently there was a news paper report that two senior officials raped a girl candidate came for interview. These are all the media reports of the recent times. What is wrong with men of India? Is it some disease or any biological complications or some geological impacts? How to find the real reason?  Or, is it the result of lack of punishment? If lack of punishment is the real issue it can be sorted out by proper punishment, the gallows. While taking the states with highest number of rape cases in 2021 Rajasthan reported 6,337, MP 2,947, UP 2,845, Maharashtra 2506. In Kerala 16,4...

OUR PRINT MEDIA IS DEVIATING FROM PRIORITIES

Image
"Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses." - Tracy Morgan. If we look back and think a little we can find that our print media has started deviating from certain principles that they followed yesterday. The title news that appears on the front page today might have preferred to have put on the inner page in a small column a few years ago. The paper may say that they are placing each news according to the taste and need of the readers. If that is so today's newspaper cannot say that they are reforming the society as they were doing yesterday, rather they are reforming themselves according to the society. What is the society today and who rules it is not at all hidden from a news media. However some leading newspapers keep themselves away from some significant speeches by the top leaders of as if they have not come across those or there is nothing wrong for them in such speeches. Some others keep things up down for their sake. For...

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 ...

WHO CONTROLS PRICE IN INDIA

Image
We  have state and central governments to ensure the right commodities at the right price to the people. Of late it has been noticed that while the price of a certain pack is retained as without any increase, the content of the pack is brought down considerably. This can be found by weight in some items by numbers in some other. The variation may range upto 20%. This is equivalent to raise the price to that extent. Some well known brands are doing this for years. During the past few years they have brought down the weight by over 50%. The people expect the government to check the unreasonable price increase by any manufacturers/sellers. Similarly they are not to be allowed to slash the weight or numbers as indicated in the pack for some time/ without the permission of the concerned. The government may please look into the matter. It is also the duty of the buyers to notice the difference in the contents of any standard pack and bring to the notice of the concerned depar...

DEAR POLITICIANS, KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE OF INDIA NEED?

Image
              Village houses in India  There may be very few politicians who can say what their fellow Indians urgently need now.  What is offered by some are God, temple, Pooja and so on. Those who are not in politics may better suggest the real need of  the people of this country. The reader may please assess the genuineness of these needs. Eradication of all kinds of corruption including monetory corruption from our country for ever. Ensure GDP per capita income of our country is brought up to the level of economically advanced countries of the world. Poverty level of our country must be recasted to the same level of economically advanced countries and then ensure that no one in India lives below that line. India is a country with least safety for women. We must ensure total safety for women anywhere in this country. We should also stop domestic violence in any house in our motherland. We must exploit as much natural resou...

YOU CAN FORSEE THE FUTURE OF YOURS AND ALSO OF OTHERS

Image
If you study those happening around, you can find that everything takes place here are under certain laws. The  earth travels a distance of about 940 million kilometres around the sun every year. This journey is at a speed of 1,07,826 km per hour and it  takes exactly 365 days 5 hours 59 minutes 16 seconds. This time is strictly maintained every year. Neither it becomes one minute earlier nor one minute late. It can be possible only under two conditions. One is that the earth uses its super intelligence alongwith a built-in most efficient system. The other is that everything in this universe is under a pre-set order. Nothing can alter it. All living and non living forms and substances fall under this law. When something should move and where to move and when to stop  and where to stop are certainly pre-set or predetermined. This is programmed at the time of creation itself. It remain firm for ever. The whole universe put together is by God. Every substance and...

POST COVID HEART CHECK UP

Image
Heart  damages found in coronavirus patients months after recovering from COVID 19, according to an article published in USA Today by Adrianna Rodriguez in July 2020. New evidence suggests the coronavirus has lasting impacts on hearts , raising alarm for cardiologists who have been concerned about potential heart injury from long term COVID 19. Two German studies too found heart abnormalities in Covid 19 patients months after they had already recovered from the disease caused by SARS-CoV2. The first study included 100 patients from the University of Hospital Frankfurt Covid 19 Registry who were relatively healthy adults in their 40s and 50s. About one third of the patients required hospitalisation, while the rest recovered from home. Researchers looked at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging taken nearly two and a half months after they were diagnosed and compared them with images from people who never had Covid 19. The study found heart abnormalities in 78 patients, with...

CAN INDIA BECOME ONE AMONG THE HAPPIEST COUNTRIES?

Image
Can  India become one among the happiest countries in the world? Very few Indians might have asked this question ever. Before giving answer to this, one must find the negatives that prevent us from moving ahead at the possible pace towards happiness. Happiness of each individual is depending upon the knowledge pumped into,  upto the age of around twenty five. How to think, visualise, perceive, act and react are influenced by the knowledge acquired by this age. Right from the known period of history of India  the knowl edge in some section of the society was never allowed to filter down to the lower strata of the society. Later when caste system was established all the knowledge were confined to the upper caste. During the British regime too things continued in the same way. After gaining independence we never tried to recast the educational system. It is still being continued in the same old pattern with no any set goal for people as a whole. Above all corrupt...

INDIAN YOUTH SHOULD AWAKE

Image
India is a rich country. We have enough natural resources. We have more than enough manpower to exploit those. Unfortunately our successive governments, instead of bringing up the standard of living of the people, making more and more poor and illiterates here. It is high time that the people of the country should realise the situation and focus on raising our own standard of living. Under the present circumstances it may be difficult to unite the whole nation, however noble the purpose may be. Hence the educated youth of the country must unite ignoring all regional and cast complexes. All your actions should be against corruption only, because corruption is the prime enemy of the country today. You need not fight against any political parties, religious philosophies or regional ideologies. My dear young ones, you fight against corruption. If you can win the war and eradicate corruption from the country, you can certainly win the election and form the government as the coun...

RELIGION - A SHORTCUT TO POLITICS

Image
Religion is a belief and an organised system of worship of the unseen Super Power of the universe. As a shortcut to attain power to rule the country this unseen Super Power has been brought among the voters. By electing a party the voters may get all the blessings of a particular god. The poor people as well as the tricky politician enjoy the new political formula. Very soon the disaster from the new theory will be exposed and the impacts may spread fast. Politics and religion are extremely contradictory subjects. While one encourages wrong doings secretly, the other is strictly against it. In India we try to mix these together to attract the largest population. However our political leaders found out the short cut route to pick 79.5 percent Hindus as one religion and one group to support them for ever. Unfortunately our politicians looked at this one group as one group only. They never tried to look below this one group to find 3,000 castes, 25,000 sub castes and 16.66 cro...

IT IS WE WHO DICTATE OUR OWN JUDGEMENT

Image
We  dictate our own judgement may not be acceptable straight away to many. However, directly or indirectly  this term is ratified by many religious contents. Before moving further, it is to be made known to all that whatever we say about nature or God, law of universe or religious codes cannot be seen as an unchallengeable expression but as a mere assumption or hypothesis. A theoretical expression on this matter may never come up. Despite knowing this fact we are unwilling to accept a shapeless and colourless One settled under no confinement. We are so adament to design the Supreme One to our choice, place Him within four walls, feed him with what we like, ask Him to do what we pray and so draft our worship. Each one of us knowing well the depth of our serious errors, pray the One to forgive us for all the wrongs we committed. Simultaneously we point out the wrongs of others and highlight the wealth and comfort he enjoys. By doing so we point out the Supreme Judge ...

HEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Image
        (Japanese Village houses) With average life expectancy of 84.2 years Japan is the healthiest country in the world, followed by Switzerland 83.8, Spain 83.5, Italy 83.4, Israel and Iceland 82.9. The secret of the health of the Japanese must be their traditional diet, which consists of rice, fish, vegetables, seaweed, Japanese pickles, green tea and miso (a kind of fermented soyabeen product). Unlike many Western diets, this diet has a very low intake of red meat. Usually red meat is linked with health issues such as  heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Japanese culture too contribute significantly for their well being. They have changed into slow movement in the 90s. This helps people to stay connected with others and with nature. The inhabitants at the southern island of Japan have less cancer, heart disease and dementia than Americans. The women here have the longest life on earth. Their strong dedication to family and friends also contribut...

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARECTOR FORMATION OF OUR CHILDREN?

Image
Of late we are finding news of qualified youth working as narcotics carriers. Young school children are used by political workers for distribution of narcotics. There are reports of sales of narcotics products from beauty parlours. Such reports goes on and on. They all do it for fast money with little effort. They know they are doing a crime. They also know that the future of countless number of people are spoiled by their passion for these illegitimate earning. Still they do it for their unquenching thirst for money. Who is responsible for these unforgivable activities of our youth? The prime responsibility falls on the parents. A child's growth is expected to be closely watched by the parents. Significant contribution is expected from the parents towards the formation of charector of the children. The physical and mental growth of their offspring are to be strictly governed by the parents. In the case of any deviation, corrective measures are to be taken at the approp...

Image
