THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Just think about  When something bad happens in our life we must know the  truth that we are just paying off our debts. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മുടെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ സന്തോഷകരമല്ലാത്ത എന്തെങ്കിലും സംഭവിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഒരു കാര്യം ഉറപ്പാക്കാം, നാം നമ്മുടെ കടങ്ങൾ വീട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണെന്ന യാഥാർഥ്യം.

IS LIFE PREDETERMINED?

Image
  According to modern science the universe is born from a  great explosion of a tiny particle. Everything has come into existence from this tiny particle. The sun, moon and all stars, the gas, water and solids, all living and non-living, the time, space and matters are originated from that very tiny particle. The love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, wisdom and folly and strength and weakness are conceived from this Big Bang. If that is so, past, present and future too were built in this tiny particle. When we closely watch any object and any action we can find a law behind this. That law must be the precondition for every action. On the other hand, to elaborate it further, every action of living or non-living object or energy is the after effect of the inherited law concealed in those. Under these explanation it can be safely concluded that every action pertains to every human is predetermined. In short, when a man to spit, where to spit or howmuch to spit too are fall wi

Just think about  When we try to please the God, we are bound to disintegrate ourselves. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മൾ ഈശ്വരനെ പ്രീതി പ്പെടുത്താൻ ശ്രമിക്കുമ്പോൾ നാം സ്വയം വിഘടിക്കേണ്ടിവരും. K V George 

CAN INDIA EVER REACH THE TOP LAYER OF THE WORLD

Image
                     Qutub Minar  Before finding an answer to this we must know where our country stands in various fields like wealth, literacy, agriculture, health, cleanliness, safety, discipline, defence etc in comparison with developed countries. We may go through some selected area as shown below. Per Capita Income. According to the report by Forbes,  the GDP per capita PPP as on the second half of 2024, the top countries in USD are: Luxembourg               - 151,150 Singapore                   - 148,190 Macao SAR                 - 130,420 Ireland                          - 127,750 Qatar                            - 115,070 Norway                         - 103,450 India                              -  11,111 Highest  home ownership rates in the world. (Name of the country with highest percentage on top with concerned years of rating. Indebted to Wikipedia) Kazakhstan - 98% - 2024 Laos - 95.9% - 2015 Romania - 95.6% -2023 Albania - 95.3% - 2023 Slovakia - 93.6% - 2023

Just think about  Some people usually say about others with grudge when they succeed in something: "His time is good." But they do not know the truth behind it that the good time is created by the successful one himself. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  പലരും മറ്റുള്ളവരെപ്പറ്റി അസൂയയോടെ പറയുന്നതു കേൾക്കാം : "അവന്റെ സമയം നല്ലതാണ്." പക്ഷെ, അവരാരും ഒരു കാര്യം അറിയുന്നില്ല; ആ സമയം അയാൾ സ്വയം സൃഷ്ടി ച്ചെടുത്തതാണെന്ന സത്യം!

WHY SEX CRIMES ARE MORE IN INDIA

Image
Many  individuals and groups might have studied the subject indepth and submitted their findings to the appropriate authorities from time to time. Unfortunately our follow up action and corrective measures are below par. When female constitute half of the population of the country it becomes the predominant responsibility of the government to ensure the safety of the citizens. Whether it is central or state governments, their efficacy is not appreciable, in this matter. When we look for the prime reasons for this state of affairs, two things can be found on top. One is the wide spread corruption in our country. Criminals here have a feeling that if they have money in their hands, they can commit any crime and get scot free. The other reason is our haphazard educational system. We are still following a job oriented educational system. We do not focus on correcting the serious social issues through education. Safety of women should be included in our school syllabus from clas

Just think about  Whichever place of worship we go, we find our own reflections there. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഏതു ദേവാലയത്തിൽ ചെന്നാലും അവിടെ ആരാധിക്കാൻ ചെന്ന ആളുടെ പ്രതിബിംബമാണുള്ളത്.  K V George 

NANGELI AND THE BREAST TAX IN KERALA

Image
    Image courtesy to Amazon.in Breast tax (Mulakkaram) must be the most abnormal tax levied anywhere in the world. It was introduced by the erstwhile state of Travancore under the British rule in India. This tax was imposed on the women of lower caste, Nadars and Ezhavas between the age of 16 and 35. They were not allowed to cover their breasts and if anyone do otherwise were punished by heavy taxes. There was Channar revolt between 1839 and 1859 that prompted earlier against this tax seeking right for their women to cover their body at will but it went on for long until  it was withdrawn in 1924. The most remembered person in breast tax revolt was Nangeli who lived in Cherthala in the princely state of Travancore during the early 19th century. She was said to have cut off her breasts in protest against the breast tax. However the story of Nangeli was never reflected in historical books of Kerala and therefore, remained in the minds of the people like a fiction. Surprising

Just think about  Young children have the proficiency of learning good number of languages at their age. Parents may help them to learn 5 or 6 languages at their young age which may become helpful in their future life. K V George  ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  കൊച്ചു കുട്ടികൾക്ക് അവരുടെ പ്രായത്തിൽ പല ഭാഷകൾ പഠിക്കാനുള്ള പ്രാവിണ്യമുണ്ട്. മാതാപിതാക്കൾ അവർക്കു 5/6 ഭാഷകൾ പഠിക്കാനുള്ള അവസരം ഉണ്ടാക്കി കൊടുത്താൽ അതു അവരുടെ ഭാവി ജീവിതത്തിൽ വളരെയേറെ ഉപകാരപ്പെടും.

HUMAN BECOME STRONGER AFTER DEATH!

Image
We  all have a tendency to play with comparatively low placed people and terrorise them. Sometimes some of us may even give slap to them and shout at abusive language. Since they are afraid of the social status of the opponents and also realise their weakness they never respond but silently move away from there.  Now let us change the time and space of the order of the incidence. The weak man dies and the one with power and social status survives. During a night the dead one appears to the well placed  strong one in his house! No sound may come from him and he will tremble and wet his clothes. That is the Power comes after death. This power variation is scientifically ratified in different sector. In the cases of stars, depending upon their mass they have an average lifespan of 50 million years to 20 billion years. After millions of years the core of the star runs out of its fuel, hydrogen and slowly collapse inwards. Depending on the sizes of the original stars these are c

Just think about  What is found just against a search must be a very common thing. But what could be found only after an extensive search will be a highly worth one. A hard effort is needed to locate a rare thing. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  അന്വേഷിച്ചാലുടനെ കണ്ടെത്തുന്ന ഒന്നു സർവസാധാരണമായതാ യിരിക്കും. എന്നാൽ വളരെയേറെ അന്വേഷിച്ചാൽ മാത്രം ലഭിക്കുന്നതോ വിലപ്പെട്ടതുമായിരി ക്കും. അസുലഭമായതു ലഭിക്കുവാൻ വളരെ പണിപ്പെടേണ്ടി വരും.

REHABILITATION OF STRAY DOGS

Image
As  per available information there are 2,80,000 stray dogs in Kerala with an annual growth rate of 20%. Over and above these there are about 9,00,000 pet dogs in the state. Of late the dog menace has become intolerable. Countless number of people have been bitten by these dogs. Few people have been reported to have died after dog bites. Some have lost lives in accidents caused by these stray dogs. Government is understood to have spent considerable amount of money to save people from this menace. All said and done, something is lacking somewhere. When things are said to be organised and money is said to have spent, but desired result is not found, it can be safely assumed that so far no result oriented efforts have been taken place in this matter. When something is done by someone, it should be ensured that there are right efforts at the right time at the right place with a constant watch of the out come. If anything is lacking in these, it becomes a fruitless efforts and

Just think about  Everything in this world has come from the same God and end up in the very same God. If that is so we can find the relationship between one man with the other one. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഈ പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിലുള്ള സർവ്വവും ഒരേ ദൈവത്തിൽ നിന്നും ഉദ്ഭവിക്കുകയും അതേ ദൈവത്തിൽ തന്നെ എത്തിച്ചേരുകയും ചെയ്യും. അങ്ങനെയെങ്കിൽ ഒരു മനുഷ്യനു മറ്റൊരുവനുമായുള്ള ബന്ധം നമുക്ക് കണ്ടെത്താവുന്നതേയുള്ളു.

WHAT IS OUR REAL FUTURE!

Image
Do we ever think about our real future? It is not about what we eat tomorrow or what we wear day after. It is about our real future. We have only one real future. That is for all of us. We may believe in this God or that God. We may go to temple or church or somewhere else. The final destination may be the same to all. After the entry into that Divine gate, the life may be same to all of us, irrespective of our belief and faith. We all will have just One around us and that will be the Supreme One. Here we must find an answer to a question. Whether He will forgive all our wrongs and and save us to Himself or He will give eternal punishment for our minutest sin. When the Divine joy is height of all happiness and peace and it will be ever lasting, irrespective of the density of the sins committed the retribution will also be height of sufferings and pain and that too should last for ever. Now, here on earth, we can seek forgiveness of all our doings and then get into the other

Just think about  We all may easily criticize others with all pros and cons in extensive details, but can any of us tell about the functions of our own body and mind? ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  മറ്റൊരാളെ യാതൊരു ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടും കൂടാതെ വിശദമായി വിമർശിക്കാനും വിശകലനം ചെയ്യാനും കഴിയുമെങ്കിലും, ആർക്കെങ്കിലും കഴിയുമോ അവനവന്റെ ശരീരവും മനസ്സും എങ്ങനെ എന്തുമാത്രം പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നുണ്ടെന്ന്?

ENDOSULFAN TRAGEDY, ÇOMPENSATION AND FAILURE OF GOVERNMENTS

Image
ENDOSULFAN was developed as a pesticide in 1954. It was widely used upto the 1990s and it was found then that it was a highly toxic chemical. Aerial spraying of endosulfan in cashew plantations in Kerala began in 1976. After a few years there were reports of calves born with deformed limbs. It was also reported that from Padre village of Kaseragod where this pesticide was widely used, frogs, fishes, jackals, fireflies, bee colonies were vanished. Many local children and people below the age of 25 years were suffering from serious disorders. People who lived along the Kodenkiri river had confronted with serious health problems and they came up with protests against the use of this toxic pesticide. With the help of the media their problems were highlighted across the state. However, all concerned delayed or rather failed to address the issue. Later in mango farms of Muthalamada Panchayat in Palakkad district this same pesticide was used. There were reports from here too that

Just think about  If one make his earning by causing pain to anyone, whoever have to share that earning will undergo much greater pain. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  മറ്റൊരാളെ വേദനിപ്പിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു ഒരാൾ എന്തെങ്കിലും നേടിയാൽ അതു പങ്കു പറ്റുന്നവരെല്ലാം അതിലേറെ വേദന അനുഭവിക്കേണ്ടി വരും. K V George 

PUBLIC PROTEST MUST BE IN A DISCIPLINED MANNER.

Image
Kerala must be the headquarters of public protests in the world. For anything and everything we protest in our own ways by inflicting maximum injuries on ourselves. There are cases of people met with accidents and thereby injured seriously were prevented on the way from going to hospitals by protestors and consequently falling dead. Similarly women with serious labour pain were blocked enroute to hospitals. So many KSRTC buses were severely damaged. Large number of private cars and buses were damaged. Closing of shops is a must do item. Anyone refuse shall be dealt with severely. Pelting stones on shops and creating maximum damages is an inevitable part of the protest. Whatever may be the protest for, schools and colleges shall certainly be kept closed. During these days, protesting against anything by preventing the traffic on roads, closing shops and educational institutions etc are the most outdated way. Now, think about the outcome of these protests. Many have been doin

Just think about  Our democratic voters have dwindled to mere voting machines in our country? Nothing more can be done beyond that democratically! ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മുടെ ജനാധിപത്യ സമ്മതിദായകർ കേവലം വോട്ടിങ് മെഷീന്റെ നിലവാരത്തിലേക്കു താണു കഴിഞ്ഞോ?  ഇതിലുപരിയായി ജനാധിപത്യപരമായി ഒന്നും സാധ്യമല്ലായിരിക്കും!

LET US MAKE USE OF THE POPULATION

Image
United Nations has announced on last November 15th, that world population has crossed the 800 crores mark. While China is on top with 145.2 crores, India is just behind with 141.2 cores. (Now India has reached on top) Can we Indians take a relook to this great power? Let us realise this massive power for our economic growth. Why we Indians are remaining poor, though our India is rich? This is because of the uneven distribution of wealth. We can easily overcome this. Let us exploit all available resources by using all available manpower.  If we do this we can reach the top of the world in the shortest possible time. As said time and again, let us do all political activities during election only and afterwards both people and government should concentrate on the development of the people and the country as a whole. If strict vigil is maintained to eradicate corruption, safety is ensured for women nd children and education is ensured to the graduation level to the coming gener

Just think about  There is nothing beyond love one can gain in this world. When finally departs, the amounts of tears received would be the most appropriate criterion for this. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  സ്നേഹത്തിനേക്കാൾ വലുതായി ഈ ഭൂമിയിൽ ഒന്നും നേടാനില്ല. അവസാന യാത്ര പറഞ്ഞു പോകുമ്പോൾ ലഭിക്കുന്ന കണ്ണീരായിരിക്കും ഇതിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും നല്ല മാനദണ്ഡo !

DO THE CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE FREEDOM IN CHINA?

Image
      (Chinese government building) The simple answer to this question is a straight 'no'. While article 36 of the PRC constitution provides freedom of religion to citizens, what is the actual provisions can be seen from the following. In fact China is a country that restrict freedom to its people. The Chinese citizens living in China have learned to live under the restricted freedom in almost every aspect of day to day life. Sometimes back a female correspondent of a local daily reported a suspected case of corruption by a government official. She was subsequently reported to have arrested. Since then no one has seen or heard about her. And that is China. Freedom of religion of ethenic minorities are well scribed in the constitution but the Uyghur population living in Xinjiang region are under strict controls of practising Islam as shown below. * Official religious practices must be held in government approved mosques. * Uyghurs under 18 years old are not allowed t

Just think about  One should not be too proud of the knowledge possessed, as those around such ones have more knowledge in many subjects than the proud ones. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഒരാളും സ്വന്തം അറിവിൽ അഹങ്കരിക്കരുത്, കാരണം തങ്ങളുടെ ചുറ്റുമുള്ള പലർക്കും പല വിഷയങ്ങളിലും തങ്ങളെക്കാൾ അറിവുണ്ടായിരിക്കും.
