Normal And Abnormal

Just think about  Courage we must have is to fight against the wrong, not to roll up the muscle for exhibition. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ധൈര്യം നമുക്കു വേണ്ടതു തിന്മയ്ക്കെതിരായി പൊരുതാനാണ്, അല്ലാതെ മസ്സിൽ പ്രദർശനത്തിനല്ല. K V George

According to a report by National Crime Record Bureau of 2021 Kochi ranked 3rd in populationwise crime reported in 19 cities of India. This comes to 1603.7 crimes per one lakh population. The data released shows that 33,697 IPC and SLL (not serious crimes) crimes were reported in Kochi in 2021. Why crime rate is so high in a Kerala City? The prime cause may be widespread availability of narcotics here. Peace loving citizens may point their fingers towards the government, the police, various political parties and the media. What is media to do with crimes? Media is expected to report any crime with in depth details. Here some media do not give the personal details of the criminal. Protecting the identity of the criminals encourages them to commit more crimes. If he is an active participant of a political party, media do not expose these details at all. Let us take crime as crime only, whether it is c

This may looks to be an abnormal comparison for some, but it is a reasonable and proper comparison between two countries from two continents with more or less similar resources. There are differences in area and population but not in resources. The Indian state may be above the American state in natural resources.  With about similar resources, let us say,  both get different returns. Here comes the significance of the tools applied to exploit the resources. And that takes America and many other countries far above our country. Here are the prime data on which we attempt the analysis. Area of Kerala - 38,863 km² Area of California -  423,973 km²  Population of Kerala - 35.33 millions (2021-22) Population of California -  39.19 millions (2022)   GDP of Kerala 2021- $132 billion GDP of California 2021- $3.4 trillion GDP pci of Kerala -  $3,100 GDP pci of California - $70,662 Tourism earnings of California 2021 Spending by tourists - $100.2 billion (Around 8 lakhs

Just think about  Courage is not physical strength but it is the mental power to face injustice and untruth. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ധൈര്യമെന്നാൽ ശരീരത്തിന്റെ ശക്തിയല്ല, അനീതിയെയും, അസത്യത്തെയും നേരിടാനുള്ള മാനസിക ബലമാണ്. K V George 

In  India, we have our own standards to measure literacy. States are vying with each  other to reach on top in paper. Since long the state of Kerala is on top with about 96.2% literacy followed by Delhi (88.7%), Uttarakhand (87.6%), Himachal Pradesh (86.6%), Assam (85.9%) and Maharashtra (84.8%) on top of the list. . The parameter for literacy now is, one should know to read and write ones own name. To start with it is good, but this standard should not remain for ever. This is  LKG standard. We must review this every two years and raise this to the next level. In our case it is UKG. Next levels should be Class I, II, III and so on. We must have a minimum target of Plus II. If we can progressively achieve this, the next generation can call themselves literates.  South Korea with 97.9% in 2024 is the most literate country in the world. In 2022 70% of the population of South Korea between the age of 25 and 34 reached graduation level. In India this is 10.6% (2017-18). In

(Image courtesy - The Times of India) When a political killing takes place there would be Bundh, Harthal and a series of protests  all over the state. When 3429 people died and 40,204 injured in 2021, there was no protests anywhere in the state. Because all these were written off under road accidents. It is too serious a thing that happens on our roads. Let us have a broad view of the causes of road accidents. Disobedience of law - like over speeding, redlight jumping, drunken driving, mobile phone use, not following the lanes, careless overtaking etc are the prime causes in this category. Distraction to drivers - publicity boards on roads, road blocks with political flags, decorations etc., delaying the movement of vehicles by public protests, wrong parking on the roads, public assembly on roads etc comes in this category. Poor road conditions too become a serious cause for road accident. Natural calamities - though very less comparetively, this too become a cause. Over an

As  per the statistics available with Registrar General of India, Kerala has 3715 beggars on it's streets. 1,533 of them are literates. 1,115 are below matriculation. 198 are below graduation, 24 are graduates and 16 hold technical diploma certificates. Five persons hold technical degree and one among them is a female. According to a social worker from Kochi, addiction to drugs, liquor and extravaganza in life brought many educated people to perdition. A rescued person was a graduate from BITS Pilani. A beggar is informed to have an earning of ₹200/- to ₹2,000/- a day. For the sake of money some are involved in criminal activities. Begging is also a business for some. It is understood that people from other states come to Kerala with beggars for this business. Government of Kerala may come forward for the rehabilitation of the beggars. The existing Poor Homes, Destitute Homes etc can accommodate some of them. Religious organisations, Social organisations and NGOs can a

After  a long 190 years of slavery India gained freedom from the British on 15th August 1947. But that was not a mere freedom we have won. It was a freedom to do anything, anywhere and anytime! If we go through the media reports of our country for the past 75 years we can see the extent of freedom the 143 crores people have today. Soon after securing independence we killed the one who fought his whole life for freedom of India. Again we killed a prime minister who brought up the country to a very high level. Do we say these are freedom of expression? While going through the criminal history of our country, as per various media reports there were 41,330 homicides in India in 2021. Can we say it freedom to kill? There is a growth of 70.7% crime against women between 2005 and 2018. An average number of 25,000 plus rape cases every year were reported in the past decade. Do we call it freedom to destroy women of our country? Anyone can shout slogans against our elected prime min

We  Indians have hundreds of issues that need urgent solutions.  For unknown reasons we are least bothered about those issues.  We are keenly interested just in one thing, politics filled with corruption and decorated with religion. We are unable to bifurcate politics, religion and democracy. We Indians forget the fact that India is a democratic nation and we have certain rights and liabilities under the terms democracy. We don't need education, good food and good house. We never ask for these basic needs. We only keep shouting some meanless words " ... Ki Jay" We have enough natural resources. We have adequate number of qualified youth to exploit those resources. Instead of deploying all our unemployed manpower to convert the resources into products and send into the international market and earn foreign exchange we have sent our money into other countries by corrupt means. After watching all these our democratic voters are not at all responding in any manner

Many of us possess land, building, pool, trees etc on this earth. All these are unequivocally belong to us. We hold sufficient documents to confirm these belongings. All those around accept and admit our ownership. Here comes a question whether these ownership rights and claims are real or imaginary. The simple answer is none of these belong to any of us. The sole owner of all these including the 'You and I' bodies too are owned, nurtured, managed, converted and reconverted by Mother Earth. All have come from her, fed by her and shall return to her. The Mother is taking the help and protection of other great bodies of this universe. Nothing on this earth belongs to man. Each one of us may ask himself as to what is the most precious possession for him for the time being. It is neither land, building, metal, automobiles nor any such things we imagine are our valuable possession. Our most valuable possession for the time being is nothing but the air in our lungs.

Fai th is a word used by almost all religions to indicate strong attachment of their members with the system. The meaning of faith according to Oxford Dictionary is, a) complete trust or confidence in someone or something, b) strong belief in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. Christianity gives great significance to faith in attaining the Supreme One. Faith comes through multiple means, by hearing, reading or being taught the Word of God. It cannot be 'worked up', 'bought', 'desired', 'prayed for' or 'invoked' on someone. The common word for 'faith' is the Greek word 'pistis' and this word is used 244 times in the New Testament. We may move away from the complex definition of the word and try to ascertain the meaning and can find that faith is nothing but the link between man and God. Faith derives from love and ends up in total dependence, rather surrender. Through the cor

Where  India is placed in the world with it's economic status is not the place provided for the Indians. India is placed 5th in the world in GDP ranking in 2023 behind America, China, Japan and Germany. India (rather Indian population) rank 139 in GDP per capita nominal- 2023 and 127 in GDP per capita PPP 2023. These clearly indicate that the people and the country are placed at quite  distant spots. According to Forbes (India) the PCI of the top five GDP countries are given below.  GDP per capita in USD thousand is: USA - 80.03, China - 13.72, Japan - 35.39, Germany - 51.38 India - 2.6 It can be seen from the above list that India is placed far below with a paltry sum. As per a report by The Times of India on 26 January 2023, 1% of the rich population of India hold 40% of the wealth of the country. The report further reveals that the bottom half of the Indian population hold just 3% of the wealth of the country. According to a report of Oxfam International quoted by Th

While comparing the earnings from Tourism by different countries India stands much below. Our country has a vast collection in store to show the world. Our highest earning from tourism stands less than 6% of our GDP. If properly handled this can be multiplied in a short span of time. The best way to enhance the revenue from this sector is to bring in qualified youth into it. Government need not make any huge investment in this. Government must make it easy for them to secure loan from banks and other financial institutions. A separate wing in the bank may be created to follow up the utilisation of the fund properly. (,There can be safer methods to apply for bank loans with zero risk for the money lent.) Government can also organise frequent seminars, exhibitions etc on tourism. Many new schemes can be introduced to attract more tourists from different parts of the world. When the government is taking the lead role, they may ensure the active participation of the youth.

Luck  is said to be a force that causes things to happen to a person by chance. Luck refers good things only and it has nothing to do with man's efforts and abilities. Professor of psychology Jacqueline D. Woolley says that luck can be defined in three ways; a) a supernatural event, b) an explanation to make sense of certain events, c) a personal attribute one has within himself. If we straight away put a question whether luck is a reality, imagination or superstition the maximum support may be available for reality. May be each one among us have something to say about luck.

Then in 1988 PROBOT was used to perform transurethral prostate surgery. In 1992 an image guided system named Robodic Surgical System was developed for the use in prosthetic hip replacement. This was the only robotic system cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use in orthopaedic surgery. In 1996 the AESOP 2000, replaced the pedals with a voice control system, allowing the surgeon to have control of the endoscope. By using its voice, the system eliminated the necessity of an assistant to hold the endoscope. The platform evolved to AESOP 3000 increasing the degree of freedom, and had its final platform with the AESOP HR (HERMES Ready) having integrated voice control and functions such as operation room lighting and movement of the operation table.

As per this eligibility provision, an illiterate can become a minister of education and one who has no knowledge of law can become a law minister and advise the lawyers and judges.  The prime reason for this is that 140 crores Indians do not respond to anything that happens around them and they have no opinion about anything at all.

Just think about  All those in the universe are created by God or came into being from Him, in other words all are God Himself. Each one of us are the same God.

It is the energy of our ancestors that flow into us when we take birth in this world. When we are bor
