Normal And Abnormal

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 

Duleep Singh , the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, presented the  186 carat Koh-i-noor diamond to Queen Victoria in 1849. Queen's consort prince Albert cut the diamond to 105.6 carat 3 years later, may be for their personal reasons. Today it is set in the crown of Queen's mother and is the highlights of the British Crown Jewels. In fact it's value is still inestimable. However, to help to assess the value of it one may find the value of 45.42 carat Hope Diamond, which is understood be worth above $250 million (Indian Rupees 1929 crores) (Indebted to the report by Christian Barker of Forbes dated 5th December 2016) K V George

Just think about  If we do not expect help from anyone our frustration in life will be less. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ആരിൽ നിന്നും സഹായം പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കാതിരിക്കാമെങ്കിൽ ജീവിതത്തിൽ നിരാശയുടെ അളവ് കുറഞ്ഞിരിക്കും. K V George 

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...

It's  sheer imagination that is come out of ignorance. Still we can try to crack an imaginary nut. Can we travel into future? The answer is yes. This yes is said by some scientists including Einstein. You just imagine that you are stationed at a place in the space having a distance of 1 light year from the earth. Again imagine that you are holding a light velocity adjustable telescope with you. When you looked at the earth from there right now what you see the same day and hour of the past year. Now with the special arrangement of your telescope you just double the speed of light. What you would be seeing on the earth is what happened 6 months back. Again keep doubling the speed you will see 3 months before, then half of it again half of it and so on and finally you reached one second before. Here comes the hard nut to crack. From this almost instant point you may increase velocity to any extent it cannot cross that near zero point. If anyone can find a way to cross thi...

        A popular superstition in India Just think about  A society filled with illiteracy and superstition may not attain economic progress. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  അജ്ഞതയും അന്ധവിശ്വാസവും നിറഞ്ഞു നിൽക്കുന്ന ഒരു സമൂഹം സാമ്പത്തിക പുരോഗതി കൈവരിക്കുക സാധ്യമായെന്നു വരികയില്ല. K V George 

We  can very well bring down the crime rate in our state as well as in the whole country. The first thing we need towards this direction is that we all should have a common wish to live here peacefully. Rest of the things are manageable. Of late people have an increased tendency to commit crimes. Most of those commit crimes know how to escape from punishment. Bribing the concerned officials or using the political connections are the common method used to get away from punishment. Allowing a criminal to escape is as good as committing a similar crime. Recently the parents of a young girl publicly said in a TV programme that their daughter was raped and killed leaving adequate evidence to prove the crime. Unfortunately, they said that the concerned government officials had taken all precautions to hide the fact and evidences. Such things are not abnormal in our country. The normal crimes fall under following categories. Monetory, sex related, political and road accidents ...

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 ...

Just think about  If you can think about a world without time, space and matter, you can find the boundary of your mind. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  സമയം, സ്ഥലം, വസ്തുക്കൾ എന്നിവ ഇല്ലാത്ത അവസ്ഥയെപ്പറ്റി ചിന്തിക്കാൻ സാധിച്ചാൽ മനസ്സിന്റെ അതിരു കണ്ടെത്താൻ കഴിഞ്ഞേക്കാം. K V George 

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...

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.

"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...

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 !

  (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 physic...

Parents may help them to learn 5 or 6 languages at their young age which may become helpful in their future life. 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.

This question must have been asked since the beginning of human life on this earth. Lot of interpretation have come through religious thoughts, but nothing came up so far with absolute clarity. Science has so far not touched this subject and said anything with authority. As such each one of us are free to find an answer. Here is my answer. Huge energy was needed to explode the tiny particle in the beginning to create time, space and matter. There is only one energy in the universe and that is the Creator Himself. Part of it is spread in the entire solar system. And some of it is in this earth, sea, wind, with every life being including every human on earth. This energy is with man right from day one of the Big Bang, but in different forms and finally concentrating on man, may be within a group of men. Who created the tiny particle still remains a myth and science nhas no answer to it. This energy may be rotating in the successive human generation of the certain group. This ...

             (Violet Jessop) Violet Jessop became a stewardess of a ship at the age of 21. When Jessop was serving in the ship Olympic in 1911 it collided with HMS Hawke near Isle of Wight in Southern England. She was saved from the wreck. She then joined the Titanic. In the maiden voyage of the unsinkable ship from Southampton to New York City Jessop was in the ship. On the night of April 14-15, 1912 when the ship hit the iceberg and sank Jessop helped many women and children to get into the lifeboats. Finally after picking a lone child she too escaped with the help of a lifeboat. She had witnessed the sinking of Titanic with over 1500 people. Later Jessop and the child were saved from the lifeboat by a ship called Carpathia. The third was after the World War I broke out, Jessop working in the White Star ship Britannic as a nurse in the British Red Cross. In the Aegean sea Britannic  struck a mine planted by German U-boat and the ship...

If  anyone is looking ahead for the development of Kerala, they may strictly obey the following commandments. 1. Ban all Trade Union activities. 2. Open Public Grievance Redressal Centres in every collectorate. Ban all forms of public protests, the way we use. 3. Formulate law for dismissal from service with huge penalty to anyone involved in any types of corruption. If these three laws can be established and followed up strictly Kerala can have a quantum leap in economic and social development. This suggestion is beyond politics. K V George

Largest democratic election process in human history is being taken place for decades in India. Once in five years this 'Himalayan Task' is being repeated. The coming election may allow a billion democratic voters to go for a democratic tussle. This number is larger than the US, EU and Russian population put together. While many advanced countries of digital technology have not adopted EVMs for democratic franchise we Indians have fast made friendship with this new system. Most of the parties who have fielded their candidates for this election have circulated the election manifesto amongst the people. While some intelligent people take these as something to befool the people, the illiterates and the ignorants dream that they are going to become mega rich people.  When these manifestos are filled with imaginary promises, none of them say about the most important things. Many people are below poverty line but no one seems to have said that they will be brought above t...

Otherwise there will be none behind them. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  എപ്പോഴും മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെ മുമ്പിൽ തന്നെ നിൽക്കുവാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർ എപ്പോഴും തങ്ങളെ അതിനു അർഹരാക്കി നിർത്തുവാൻ ശ്രമിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കണം.  അല്ലെങ്കിൽ തങ്ങളുടെ പിന്നിൽ ആരും ഇല്ലാതെ വരും.

Huge  number of powerless people together make a few number of very powerful people, is a big magic and that is called democracy. When the powerless sweat their blood to make a few chips to keep both ends meet, the powerful ones keep their pockets filled with huge sums with no sweating. When the powerless ones find it hard to quell their hunger, the powerful ones enjoy their meals in star hotels with no sweating. While it is difficult for the common man to travel in buses with the hiked fares, the elected ones are provided with free air travel. While the weak ones find it hard to afford medical treatment for serious diseases, the super powered ones easily avail high standard treatments in foreign hospitals. When the weak women are attacked by antisocial elements at public places, the healthy elected ones are provided with armed men around to protect. Are these not  magical democracy? And on completion of the prescribed time, all these magical acts end up in a comed...

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!

  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 ar...

These may look strange to you, but are truth. Hot water turn into ice faster than cold water. When the moon is directly overhead, you will weigh slightly less.  Ants take  about 8 minutes rest in 12 hours period. Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from the blowing desert sand. There are only two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order, 'abstemious' and 'facetious'. The name of all continents end with the same letter that they start with. Minus 40⁰ Celcius is exactly same as minus 40⁰ Fahrenheit. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. K V George

(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 ...

We  Indians can be broadly categoriesed into two standards. One is Indians in India and the other is Indians in other countries. While the latter is minutely watching the country and are able to detect all wrongs taking place and can suggest corrective measures to improve the country to the international level, the former are not bothered about any thing. They will however say good about a political party and bad about all other parties. Generally these people do not know anything about the party other than it's name and a few leaders of it.  There are instances of parties failed in many fields but these followers are not at all concerned about such failures. On the other hand, those in other countries are terribly upset over the present conditions of our beloved country. As per available records, India's GDP per capita nominal- 2023 is 139 and GDP per capita PPP is 127. This shows how much our people has grown up economically.

For 77 years India is an independent country but most of the Indians are yet to attain freedom. Because most of us do not have our self. We do not think and act independently, but think and act the outdated meanless and aimless politics only.  Our politicians, for quite sometime, loudly announce the great achievements of our country. Now we may see here what the people have gained. In the international ranking on the safety of women in the world,  our country holds lowest ranking in safety of women. India is one of the most dangerous country in the world as far as safety of women is concerned.
