Normal And Abnormal

Before finding an answer to the question whether God can be contained in a human brain, we may find the storage capacity of human brain. As per an article in Scientific American human brain has a testified capacity of 2.5 petabytes which is equivalent of 2.5 million gigabyte memory. In other words, 300 years of continuous video can be stored in a human brain. This universe is created by God. The estimated diameter of this universe is over 93 billion light years. Can this be imagined by the human brain? Not at all. And there are believed to be countless number of universe of different sizes. How can we imagine this? If countless number of Sun are put together, can we imagine the size, light and heat of those? And there may be many such unimaginable things, state and action in the whole universe. God is believed to be in every particle of the whole universe. All those put together, including the paltry me and all of you, constitute God. This shapeless and most powerful One ha

Most number of newspapers and other publications are publis

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 16,418 cases

Human life is predetermined like every action in the universe. Our earth takes 365 days 5 hours 59 minutes and 16 seconds to orbit the Sun. It never takes more or less time. This duration is not decided by earth. It is pre-set. The moon.takes 27.3 days to complete the orbit of the earth. (It takes 29.5 days for the new moon to be full moon) At the speed of 8,28,000 km/hr the sun alongwith the entire solar system takes about 230 million years to orbit the Galaxy Milky Way. All these gigantic actions are not taken by the individual star  concerned. Similarly, no   one in the world can be called self-made. If we look at ourselves we can easily find that what we are now, whether good or bad, have no contribution of ours. The extent of this vast universe is beyond human conception. There may be countless number of universe. And in our universe, there may be many life bearing earth like planets. I don't think that we humans have selected this earth for our living. It is like

"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

Communist party ruled West Bengal for seven consecutive terms from 1977 to 2011. Five of these were under Jyothi Basu and two were under Buddhadev Bhattacharya. Let us now find the positive and negative impacts of the people from the Communist regime. As per available information, in 1977 the GDP of West Bengal was 13% of the national GDP. However the GDP of the state fell down to 3% of the national GDP after 2011. West Bengal had the 5th highest unemployment rate in the country in 2011-12. As per the report of the Economic times dated 17 May 2011, during the communist rule in the state for 34 years, industries fled away from the state, farm growth tapered off and the poor became poorer. According to another report by Business Line of The Hindu dated 12 April 2016, many major industries like the Hindustan Motors, Dunlop India and a good number of Jute Mills were closed in 1990s rendering hundreds of workers jobless. In all during the communist regime, industries numbering i

"Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one." Benjamin Franklin. "Too many people spend money they earned...to buy things they don't want...to impress people they don't like." Will Rogers Most of us cannot answer if someone asks us how much money we want. On the other hand, if asked, how much water or food or dress we want, we may be able give a firm answer. But money, never say 'no', let it keep coming is our firm attitude. Look at the richest in the world; they continue to keep accumulating until the last breath. If we can understand the fact that money is nothing but a medium of exchange for our day to day needs which we gather from our efforts, we may not run after it, as our daily needs have a limit. Should not see it beyond this level. If money is accumulated with us, it  starts bringing hatred and distress. We may compare two different atmosphere h

  (Armed pro-Russian separatists      stand at the Malaysian Airlines       Boeing 777 disaster in Ukraine)  (Maarten de Jonge, the Dutch cyclist) Two Malaysian Airlines  were crashed in 2014. The first was shot down in Ukraine and the other was lost in Indian Ocean. Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge was scheduled to take both of these flights. At the last moment Jonge cancelled his tickets of both flights. More importantly in the Ukraine crash all 298 people on board were killed. Most of the passengers were Dutch and Jonge too was a Dutch. The other flight going from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was lost from the radar and known to have fell into the Indian Ocean. All 227 passengers and 12 crew members are presumed to have died. Jonge  cancelled his journey by this flight too at the last moment. Can it be seen as a sheer coincidence? Can we merely say this a lucky escape? Is it that Jonge was saved under some physical law? Or, the saviour is a cosmic force? K V George

(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

Leave  alone afterlife and heaven. Neither we have experienced or seen it. What is then left is about hundred years life in this earth? Nothing prior to it and nothing after. You have passed through some actions during your stay here. Some of these actions were caused by you and some by others. Someone laughed by these actions and someone wept. What happened to you as the aftereffects of these to others and to you then and now? You might have loved someone and hated someone else. What is the impact of these after a century? We or our actions are relevant only during the current time. The way time gets faded out these actions also get eroded. All that is most worthy for us now may be of no concern for us after a few minutes, hours, days or years. For instance, most precious for us at the moment is the air inside us. If it goes away and new is not coming in our life ends there. No one can save us. Similarly,  this dear and invaluable possession of life saving air belonged to

Extraterrestrial intelligence is in the discussion among the scientific community for quite some time. There have been many reports alongwith images of findings of Unidentified Flying Objects from different parts of the world. Many aircraft pilots said to have witnessed UFOs around the world, mostly in the US region. However, so far, there is no credible reports about any extraterrestrial intelligence visiting our earth. Though shadowed by controversy, there are some reports about life from unknown region. In August 1977 an Ohio State University radio telescope detected an unusual pulse of radiation from somewhere near the constellation Sagittarius. The 37 second long signal was so startling that an astronomer monitoring the data scrawled "Wow" on the telescope printout. In 2002 Russian astrobiologists claimed that super-hardy Deinococcus radiouranus evolved on Mars. The microbe can survive several thousand times the radiation dose that would kill a human. In Feb

Clarissa Tamara , an  Indonesian child is a synonym for wonder. Clarissa started learning violin at the age of four. She won a number of international competitions by the age of six.  By eight she released her first album called '8'. She received a lot of awards in home country Indonesia too. At the age of 14 she set a new world record of being the fastest violinist by playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" in record time of 49.42 second.

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 departmen

              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 resources as possible and thereby ensure zero unemploy

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 energy is God

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 60

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 corruption is rampant

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 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

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 the same

        (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 contribute significantly on their

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

The German language Relation aller Furnemmen und gedenckwurdigen Historien printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Caroller in Strasbourg is commonly accepted to have been the first newspaper. India has the world's largest number of paid newspapers.  There were 5,767 newspapers in 2013 and 7,871 in 2015. Now there are about 6,000 nos. This came upto 8,891 in early 20th century . The highest circulated newspapers in the world are: The Yomiuri Shimbun (Japan), The Asahi Shimbun (Japan), USA Today (USA), Dainik Bhaskar (India), Dainik Jagaran (India) & The Mainichi Newspaper (Japan) As per the latest survey the largest circulated newspapers in India are: Dainik Bhaskar (Hindi), Malayala Manorama (Malayalam) & The Times of India (English) On 19 December 1997 Brazilian daily newspaper - Di &# 224; Rio Oficial da Uni # 227;o - had 2,112 pages and weighed 5.27 kgs. In the 19th century Times of India employed more than 800 people. As of 2020 there were 6,567 newspaper c

Before  finding an answer to this we must know what is democracy. We will first see the English dictionary meaning of democracy. The dictionary says: "A system of government by the whole population or all eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives". This meaning indicate how a government is elected. How a democratic government should be is well explained by Abraham Lincoln in his famous Gettysburg speach. According to Lincoln's definition, a democratic government  should be Of the people, By the people and For the people." According to available information there are 167 democratic countries in the world of which 166 are sovereign states and 164 are UN member states. Voting is one way for the citizens to participate in democracy. Citizens can also contact officials when they want to support or change a law. Voting on an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy.

Though we Indians are very proud of our age old culture and the knowledge imparted to the successive generations, as of now our country is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. We have recognised all corruptive means as good to earn money. There is a crime behind almost every fortune in our country! Many of our government servants, good number of our politicians, large number of religious leaders etc do their best to earn as much as possible at the appropriate opportunities; continuous media reports show. The sources for posh residence buildings and costly cars must be corruptive practices for a good number of people. Neither our religious leaders, nor many of our well placed politicians nor many of our high ranking government officials are eligible to speak against corruption. Theft, burglary and corruption fall in the same category of wrongdoing. Corruption in detail with all consequences should be included in school syllabus from Class 4 to Class 12. Let our co

              (Constitution of India) (Modi ji receives the blessings from Acharya Shri 108 Vidhyasagar ji Maharaj ji at the Chandragiri Jain Mandhir in Dongargarh, Chhattisgarh) There are countries like UK, Canada, Israel, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand have no written constitution. We Indians have the longest constitution in the world with 447 articles, 25 parts and 12 schedules. It consists of 1,46,385 English words. Monaco with 3,814 words has the shortest constitution. In fact the laws created from our constitution consists of 'ifs' and 'buts' in large numbers and in between found 'suject to ' create confusions. Our definable and redefinable laws must be the reason for large numbers of cases pending in our courts. 24 cases are reported to be pending in the Supreme Court for over 30 years. According to scobserver there were 80,439 cases were pending in the Apex Court at the end of 2023 and there were 80,221 cases in January 2024. As on

(Traditional Indian farm house) While we Indians have enough resources and adequate manpower to exploit those and lead a comfortable life matching with the advanced countries, we prefer to remain as an underdeveloped country. There are three basic reasons for this state. One is that we never wanted to give education, at least upto the level of graduation to all people. The other is that we have given unwanted priorities to political parties and allowed those to interfere in every aspect of life. The third is equally important for the hapless situation of our country today in different fields. We have unnecessarily invoked religion in day to day affairs of social, educational, political, economic and administrative matters of the country. I don't say any particular religion but almost all religions have played their roles in the disintegration of social and political establishments of the country. If we can strictly adopt the theory of 'one man one God',  we can
