Normal And Abnormal

Just think about  If we could realise that every passing day is a page from our life story which can never be rectified we may be able to talk and act properly. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  കടന്നു പോകുന്ന ഓരോ ദിനവും നമ്മുടെ ജീവിതകഥയുടെ തിരുത്താൻ കഴിയാത്ത ഓരോ ഏടു കളാണെന്നു മനസ്സിലാക്കാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ വാക്കുകളും പ്രവൃത്തികളും നമുക്കു നിയന്ത്രിക്കാൻ സാധിച്ചേക്കും.

Whenever someone approach us for some help, we may take that moment most precious for us. God Himself have come to us to bless us because He heard our prayer and here He would answer. The Supreme One always answer through each one of us. We would be asked to answer our prayer. The one who has come to us for help is our prayer. The help we extend is our answer. Hence we may decide how much help we need! All those who spend hours and days for prayers with the Holy Books in hands, priests around and incenses burning may not get answer for their prayers. When God Himself come to us in the form of a needy one shall certainly answer our prayers, the way we want! K V George

When there are many countries in the world where political parties are banned, we Indians are so liberal in nurturing over 2,700 political parties in our country. The growth of these parties are arranged through our campus. As a result strike, hartal, bundh, road blocks, shop closes, school and college bundh and all sorts of protests are common here. There may not be a single day when no such protests are taking place in any part of the country. Let's recall here the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest where over 20,000 people were killed including onlookers. Politics in Indian colleges and schools, it can be safely assumed, provide training to cause destruction to public properties, wound and kill fellow students and teachers. According to a report by The New Indian Express, during the period from 2016- 2021 period 32 political killings reported in Kerala of which 12 from Kannur alone.  What is the real gain from campus politics? May be the only answer will be, to create pol...

This must be the world record. This took place between 1725 and 1765. Valentina Vassilyeva and Feodor Vassilyev from Russia were the couple. Valentina gave birth to a total of 69 children. They were in 16 pairs of twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadruplets. Ramsinh 44 and his wife Kanu Sangot from Dahod district of Gujarat have 17 children; 16 of them are girls and then a boy. The boy was born in 2013 and the 17th child a girl in 2015. The entire people of the village have then compelled him to undergo a vasectomy operation and helped to stop the number at 17.(Indebted to Times of India dated January 1, 2017) Though this is shown as some sort of a record, there are many reported cases of more children from single parents in Kerala alone, that too in Kottayam district.

Despite having fairly good knowledge about the world, religion and science most people are reluctant to admit other religions and their faith. Let us realise the fact that every place of worship belongs to the the same God. Every prayer in any language reaches the same God. We may call Him by any name it reaches Him. Because there is nothing other than God in the whole universe. There is no my God and your God. Disrespect to one form of God is disrespect to all forms of God. Religion is nothing but the man made theory of God. If this theory is explicit, transparent and unambiguous it may have wider acceptability. While we admit the perplexity of the word religion, simultaneously we must understand the truth that the prime content of it, the God, is beyond human brain. For instance, the distance between one end of our universe to the other end is estimated to be 95 billion light years. This distance is beyond human conception. And there are said to be countless number of uni...

Coffin maker There may not be many stories about people become rich overnight. Here we find a story of a coffin maker from Indonesia. He is  according to NDTV, a 33 years old man from Sumatra,  Joshua Hutagalung. When he went to sleep he was a poor one, but when he woke up in the morning he was rich by Rs 9.8 crores. What made him rich was a meteorite that crashed through his roof. The 2.1 kg matter from space was worth Rs. 63,000/- per gram as this meteorite was billions of years old. Miner Recently a miner named Saniniu Laizer from Tanzania could discover two Tanzanite Gemstones from mines. One of these weighed 9.27 kg and the other over 5 kg. Since these two Tanzanite Gemstones are the largest ever found in Tanzania, the government gave a reward to the miner. The reward amount is 7.74 billion Tanzanian shillings (Rs 24.7 crores) And that unexpected thing made the man a millionaire overnight. K V George 

Just think about  There is only one thing in the world which you give it to someone you may get back in a much higher measure, sometimes may be from someone else; and that is love. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മൾ ഒരാൾക്കു നൽകിയാൽ അയാളിൽ നിന്നോ ചിലപ്പോൾ മറ്റുള്ളവരിൽ നിന്നോ വലിയ അളവിൽ തിരിച്ചു കിട്ടുന്ന ഒന്നു മാത്രമേയുള്ളൂ, അതാണു സ്നേഹം. K V George 

Despite being a rich country with large resources and huge manpower to exploit those, we are unable to raise the standard of living of a large population. We could not provide education to all. No result oriented efforts could be made so far to eliminate corruption from every nook and corner of our country. In short, we do nothing practically to multiply our GDP with proper management of our available resources. Now we cannot take it for granted that the current generation can do any miracle. Alternatively, we must prepare our coming generations to take our country to new heights. Before doing anything else we must eliminate corruption from this country. The next dangerous thing is the stinking politics. Throw out the politics and find a way to successfully establish true democracy here. Then comes another perilous concern that is fast spreading; religion. Our politicians  are making religion like a short cut to political gain. God have been shaped into an instrument to...

Just think about  If we add some mathematics, science and the principles of nature into a man's life and make a detailed analysis we can foresee the life of any human; also of any life being. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  കുറെ കണക്കും, ശാസ്ത്രവും, പ്രകൃതി തത്വങ്ങളും ഒരു മനുഷ്യന്റെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ കൂട്ടി ചേർത്തു വായിച്ചു മനസ്സിലാ ക്കിയാൽ ഏതൊരു മനുഷ്യന്റെയും ഭാവി ജീവിതം നമുക്കു വായിച്ചെടുക്കുവാൻ സാധിക്കും; മനുഷ്യന്റെ മാത്രമല്ല, ഏതു ജീവിയുടെയും.

Just think about  If you can say a down to earth one that you shall be with that one, the Supreme One shall be with you for ever. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഭൂലോക ദരിദ്രനായ ഒരാളോടു അയാൾക്കൊപ്പം നിങ്ങളുണ്ടാകും എന്നു പറയാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ പരമോന്നതൻ എപ്പോഴും നിങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം ഉണ്ടാകും. K V George 

Success in life is determined by how one availed the opportunities came to him. All successful people are those who timely availed the opportunities.  Opportunities come to us in different ways.  Taking birth to rich and reputed parents is a big opportunity, but many fail to avail this opportunity. Getting good school, good teachers and good friends is another opportunity got by a few, but here also all cannot avail this. Similarly, in every step of our lives we get opportunities, but either without knowing or availing those some people curse their fate for their sufferings. I believe that opportunities are not created by us it is presented to us. We may call it a divine gift, luck, fate etc. Realise the opportunity and foresee the mighty outcome of it is the first step of success. Then one should move through the path provided without deviating even a little. Opportunities are certainly divine gifts and, therefore, never turn down those. May be because not the nat...

Just think about  We learn a lot from our friends. We also learn much from our enemies. Our enemies are worth like our study books. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മുടെ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളിൽ നിന്നും നമ്മൾ ധാരാളം പഠിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. നമ്മുടെ ശത്രുക്കളിൽ നിന്നും നമുക്കു ധാരാളം പഠിക്കാൻ സാധിക്കും. അതിനാൽ ശത്രുക്കൾ പാഠ പുസ്തകത്തിനു തുല്യമാണ്. K V George 

The  most satisfying moment of our life would be when some unknown person get contented, remain happy and become peaceful as a result of our action. The  worthiest thing we learn is to have enjoyment and satisfaction while helping others. Our efforts are not ours, but a gift of time. If you have resources, try to provide as much education as possible to a poor child. That satisfaction will remain with you till your last breath. If we get an opportunity to console an isolated patient in a hospital, that would be the best consolation we can have in our own life. K V George 

Just think about  Disciple to the Master: "Who is the biggest God?" The Master answered: "The present God." ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ശിക്ഷ്യൻ ഗുരുവിനോട് : "ആരാണ് ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ദൈവം?" ഗുരുവിന്റെ മറുപടി : "ഇപ്പോഴുള്ള ദൈവം." K V George 

This  is not being written with the help of any approved statistics but from quite extensive experience. I have widely travelled in India and mingled with people from different regions. The people of Kerala are gifted with a super status in literacy. I don't think it is a great achievement. If all the Indian states have the literacy standard of LKG, Kerala is at UKG. That much is the difference. Kerala is nowhere near the advanced countries of the world There is no society in the world who prevent their own economic development, but Keralites are the one. During the past decades hundreds of industrialists came here with many proposals to start industries here but the people turned them away. A large group of South Korean industrialists came here with large novel proposal of household industries. They made this proposal considering two things; a) educated and skilled man power, b) scarcity of land. Though there was large scope for this the state has rejected it outright....

Just think about  If we know ourselves we may know others too. If we know all other things we may know God too. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നാം സ്വയം അറിഞ്ഞാൽ മറ്റുള്ളവരെ നമുക്കു അനായാസം അറിയാൻ കഴിയും. മറ്റുള്ളതെല്ലാം അറിയാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ ദൈവത്തെയും അറിയാൻ കഴിയും. K V George 

According to a report by The Hindu dated July 25, 2024 wild animals have taken the livrmes of 486 people in Kerala during the period 2019-20 to 2023-24. And the killing is still being continued. We have  democratically elected state and central governments to save the life of the people from all adverse  situations. Unfortunately the state government says they don't have the money to deal with the situation. The central government acts as if it is none of their business. What is that the people to do at this red hot hours? Sooner or later shall we find tigers and leopards in our major cities too? K V George 

Just think about  There is only truth in the world; no any untruth anywhere can be found. Untruth is nothing but an imaginary creation of man  ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഈ ലോകത്തിൽ സത്യമല്ലാതെ അസത്യം എന്നൊന്നില്ല. അസത്യം മനുഷ്യന്റെ സാങ്കല്പിക സൃഷ്ടി മാത്രമാണ്. K V George

The Paris based World Association of Newspaper represents 18,000 newspapers in the world. ' Yomiyuri Shimbun', the 145 years old Japanese newspaper with 7,954,126 copies is the largest circulated newspaper in the world as on 2021.  The other  top circulated newspapers are, Asahi Shimbun' from Japan, USA Today from USA and Dainik Bhaskar from India.

Just think about  Humanity in this world have begun from one man and shall end in one man. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഈ ലോകത്തിൽ മനുഷ്യന്റെ ആരംഭം ഒരു മനുഷ്യനിൽ നിന്നും ആയിരുന്നേക്കാം. അവസാനിക്കുന്നതും ഒരു മനുഷ്യനിൽ തന്നെ ആയിരിക്കും. K V George 

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...

Just think about  When we try to know God and bring into our minds we may have the bliss of the Supreme One. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ദൈവത്തെ അറിയാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുകയും നമ്മുടെ മനസ്സിലേക്കു കൊണ്ടു വരാൻ യത്നിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ ദൈവ പ്രീതി ലഭിക്കും. K V George 

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...

Just think about  What we are eagerly awaiting to receive from others but reluctant to return to others is nothing but justice. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു  നോക്കൂ  നാം മറ്റുള്ളവരിൽ നിന്നും നമുക്കു ലഭിക്കുവാൻ ആകാംഷയോടെ കാത്തിരിക്കുകയും എന്നാൽ മറ്റുള്ളവർക്കു തിരികെ നൽകാൻ മടി കാണിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒന്നാണു നീതി. K V George 

While many believe that death is the beginning of a  new life, some may not agree with it. They may argue that death is the end of everything pertaining to human life or for that matter any life forms. There is however no scientific support for both claims, but science do suggest that nothing in this universe cease it's existence. Every living or non-living, at some point of time, change its form and become another. When we have paper with us, it is just a paper. When we burn this paper,  the carbon released joins with oxygen and form carbon dioxide. Join with the vapour in the air and form water. When it becomes water it is just known as water. This water has nothing to do with the earlier form of paper. Similarly, when a man is living in this world, he has a unique body, and denoted by a name. He recognises us and we recognise him. After his death, he cannot recognise us. What is left is the corpse of the one who lived till some time back. This corpse is buried i...

Just think about  If you feed the hungry whenever you can, you may never find scarcity for food. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  കഴിയുമ്പോഴൊക്കെ വിശക്കുക്കുന്നവർക്ക് ആഹാരം നൽകിയാൽ ഭക്ഷണത്തിനു നിങ്ങൾക്കു ഒരിക്കലും ക്ഷാമം അനുഭവപ്പെടുകയില്ല. K V George 

        The Parliament of India When there is a will there are numerous ways. What is that we lack to become richest in the world? We have enough natural resources and  we have more than enough man power to exploit those. Here, neither our government give them opportunity to work nor the people are willing to work. People want to earn without putting any efforts. That is what we have taught them through our age old culture! This free money habit is widely spread in our entire society from top to bottom. Even highly qualified or well plàced people have no hesitation in freely picking from others pockets. There are many media reports about ministers, parliament members, judges, civil service personnel placed at different positions involved in illegitimate monetory earnings. Only a negligible few were brought under the law. Our educational standard has brought us to this level that people may do any paltry things for a few chips. Power and wealth has be...

Just think about  The fruits of virtues at first will not taste sweet. And later it won't be even tasted. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നന്മയുടെ ഫലങ്ങൾക്കു ആദ്യം ഒട്ടും മധുരമുണ്ടാവുകയില്ല. അവസാനമാകുമ്പോൾ അതു രുചിച്ചു നോക്കാറുമില്ല. K V George 

India is a country deeply drowned in corruption. Whether it is monetary corruption, political corruption or moral corruption we are known corrupt in the world. In Global Corruption Index 2023 India ranks 93 out of 180 countries in the world. Until we get ourselves refined from corruption we cannot have any economic development. We may never reach the level of advanced countries.  We have more than enough natural resources to deploy all our unemployed people, but for unknown reasons we are not making any attempts to exploit such resources and deploy our people especially our educated youth. The young generation coming up in our country can compete with people of any countries. They are one of the most intelligent in the world. If proper opportunities are provided they will be able to change the face of the country. Every individual Indian may have a good house with enough modern appliances, a car, good food, good medical aid, standard education and our country will have ...

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 

The main purpose of law is for establishing standards, maintaining orders, protecting liberties and resolving disputes. All countries around the world have formulated laws for these purposes only. However, we can also find strange, amazing and weird laws in different parts of the world. Some such laws are given below alongwith the name of the country that framed such laws. SWITZERLAND Flushing of toilets after 10.00 pm is a strict regulation in Switzerland on account of sound pollution. People may better finish the toilet business before ten. ITALY Men wearing skirts is a serious offence and could lead to arrest in Italy.

Just think about  How you behave with others is the criteria for others to behave with you. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നമ്മൾ മറ്റുള്ളവരോടു പെരുമാറുന്നതാണ്, മറ്റുള്ളവർക്കു നമ്മോടു പെരുമാറാനുള്ള മാനദണ്ഡം. K V George 

This  is a true story of presence of mind.  There lived an old man in Minnesota, USA. He wanted to cultivate potato in his land. The old man was not healthy enough to spade the ground to plant potato. He thought if his son would have been there he would certainly have helped him, but, unfortunately, he was in prison. He thought of telling this to his son. He wrote a letter to the prison for his son. "I am unable to spade the ground to plant potato. Your mother liked to plant potato in the right time. If you were here, you would have helped me to plant.  There is no other way but to leave the cultivation this time." He received a telegram from his son soon: "Don't dig the ground. I have kept the guns under the ground." Next morning, some FBI officers alongwith local police officers with spade, sickles and bars came to the house and started digging the ground all over but could not find anything. The old man wrote his son again telling him all that hap...

Just think about While arriving at a new country we all know where from and what for we have come. But when reaching this world we do not have these information. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ നമ്മൾ ഒരു പുതിയ രാജ്യത്തു വരുമ്പോൾ  നമുക്കറിയാവുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങളാണ് എവിടുന്നു വന്നെന്നും എന്തിനു വന്നെന്നുമുള്ളത്. എന്നാൽ നാം ഈ ഭൂമിയിൽ വരുമ്പോൾ ഇതൊന്നും നമുക്കു അറിഞ്ഞുകൂടാ. K V George 

Leave  alone afterlife and heaven. Neither we have experienced nor 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 be...

Just think about  Sometimes people may seek your association with their endeavours. If you can whole heartedly associate with it and offer the person total love and trust, your life would be built in a larger spectrum beyond your dreams. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ചിലപ്പോൾ മറ്റുള്ളവർ തങ്ങളുടെ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളിൽ നമ്മുടെ സഹവർത്തിത്വം തേടിയേക്കാം. എങ്കിൽ പൂർണ്ണ വിശ്വാസത്തോടും സ്നേഹത്തോടും കൂടെ അതിൽ പങ്കു ചേർന്നു പ്രവർത്തിച്ചാൽ അയാളുടെയും സഹകരണത്തോടെ ഒരു സ്വപ്നതുല്ല്യമായ ജീവിതം കൈ വന്നേക്കാം.

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.

Just think about  Everything in this universe is created by God rather all are from God Himself. Therefore,  devil is also God's creation rather God Himself. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  ഈ പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിലുള്ളതെല്ലാം ദൈവ സൃഷ്ടികളാണ് അഥവാ ദൈവത്തിൽ നിന്നും ഉത്ഭവിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളവയാണ്. ആയതിനാൽ പിശാചും ദൈവത്താൽ സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടതാണ്, അഥവാ ദൈവം തന്നെയാണ്.
