Normal And Abnormal

The newly developed defence relationship between US, UK and Australia (AUKUS) had created some unexpected irritation in France. They have expressed their uneasiness by calling back their ambassadors from US and Australia. In fact it can be seen as a  trade related friction. China has already refuted the new tri-nation alliance. The US and France have already started discussion in the matter and got it patched up. However, more such alliance may come up in the near future between other countries. All these alliances may pave the way for drastically cutting down international trade by China. Consequently this will open up more and more new doors for India. We must keep ourselves ready to fill up the gaps immediately. We must conduct an extensive survey to prepare ourselves to give our goods in better quality and at a reasonable price. We may not have lavish time for this. As such we must start doing the spade works right now. India can penetrate in the world market quite ...

We are finding here the GDP of the five Southern states. GDP of 2019-20 Andhra Pradesh - Rs 10.8 lakh cr Karnataka - Rs 15.88 lakh cr Kerala - Rs 8.75 lakh cr Tamil Nadu - Rs 20.54 lakh cr Telangana - Rs 9.69 lakh cr. Per Capita Income of Southern States 2019-20 Andhra Pradesh - $2,400 Karnataka - $3,082 Kerala - $3,040 Tamil Nadu - $3,200 Telangana - $3,049 Along with the above, we may also find the report of Niti Aayog. Kerala is the most investment friendly state in India. In terms of Human Development Index and Life Standard of the people, Kerala is ahead of all other states of the country. In certain development indices Kerala is on par with some of the developed countries of the world. The GDP of Kerala is mostly based on NRI remittance. It is also found that Kerala has scope to become the IT centre of India. The Vallarpadom Container Transhipment Centre is reported to be capable of contributing significantly for the.economic development of the state of Kerala. The on...

  World  road quality index 2019 shows that Singapore, Switzerland and Netherlands rank 1,2 & 3 with score 6.5, 6.4 & 6.3 respectively. India ranks 46 as per this index with a score of 4.6. According to NCRB there were 4.03 lakhs road accidents in India in 2021 killing 1.55 lakhs and injuring 3.71 lakhs people. Road conditions also must be a contributing factor in these road accidents. Neither the government nor the media nor any social organisations show much attention to these human loss. None has come forward suggesting ways and means to bring down these numbers drastically. As per the available information, annual maintenance cost of existing roads in India is Rs 1,50,000 per km. Budget allocation for roads and highways in India for FY 2017-2023 was 1.21 trillion rupees. Unfortunately, whatever the amount allotted by the Central and State governments are said to be not fully utilised for the purpose it meant for as huge amount of corruptive practices ar...

Most of us know that nour children are getting spoilt by whom but for unknown reasons no corrective action is being taken. Charector of a child is formulated primarily by the parents, friends, teachers and amongst them some of  their religious leaders too come in the picture. However, in India especially in the state of Kerala, those who are responsible for charector formulation themselves knowingly tarnish the charector of the children. The moment parents allow their children to associate with politics they are deemed to have lost the cleanliness and perfection of their minds. Politics is the foundation of corruption. In the recent past media reported many illegitimate acts related with college campuses like money swindling, false degree and research certificates, rape, homicide, suicide, destruction of public property and so on. These children are used by senior politicians for their personal preference. For unknown reasons neither parents nor teachers interfere in th...

The answer is straight and simple. 'Yes, we can.' The Supreme One has bestowed us with adequate natural resources and enough people to exploit those. Contrary to all these we have taken a vow that we will never become rich, but will keep on begging till our last breath. In order to  maintain our vow we have made severe bondage with hundreds of political ideologies. Though our country became independent for over seven decades, a good chunk of our population remain tied up here and there. For unknown reasons they don't make any efforts to come out of the self made bondage. Though many say that our country is the fourth richest country in the world  based on GDP, parallelly maintaining 24% - 26% below poverty line. As per international statistics by the IMF (2026) the pci of India stands at $2,700 - $3,000. As per World Population Review report of 2026, countries with the top pci are given below. 1. Luxembourg $145,410 2. Switzerland  $116,005 3. Ireland  ...

* The country   has large resources but the people do not find opportunity to exploit those.  *We can raise the GDP much more but we do not attempt even.  *Poverty can be eliminated but we seem to retain it. *We can be among the richest countries in the world but we do not even look at that direction. *We prefer to talk about tomorrow. Do nothing today. *Millions of people from all over the world wish to come and see our country but we do not welcome them. * We  leave everything upon the government and move around to find faults in governance. *All  that we do are conducting meeting, conference, seminar, loud talk, rally, procession holding flags, close shops, stop vehicles, down the shutters of industries and such great things. We always find pleasure in talking about our great history and culture. Without knowing the Bhagwan and His temple we keep praying in loud voice. We read the great books without knowing the meaning of what is written...

We Indians   boast ourselves about our 'Arsha Bharata Sanskruti' and tradition which stands top on the world. Unfortunately, our acts reveals a reverse theory. We Indians must be the most indisciplined lots in the world. Whether it is in home, school, place of worship or public roads, our performance is certainly in an indisciplined manner. This is because we don't teach our children in schools about discipline. Why we don't teach them, because we ourselves do not know what is discipline. All sorts of corruption in our country is the result of indiscipline. Our political waywardness is also the results of indiscipline. Say the least, huge number of road accidents in our country is nothing but the outcome of indiscipline. The poverty in our country can be eradicated by disciplined life all around. We do not know where we are to go and where we are going. All sorts of strike and protests in our educational institutions is nothing but ignorance from indisciplin...

As of recent data there are 23,500 to 26,000 government hospitals in India. These include primary health centres , community health centres, District Hospitals etc  As per the modern rankings of WHO (2024-2026) Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan are the top countries for health care in Asia. According to a UK based organisation's survey Japan provides the best health care in the world followed by Singapore, South Korea, Norway and Taiwan. Top countries for number of hospital beds per 1,000 people (as per 2025-26 data) South Korea 12.65 Japan 12 63 Germany 7.82 Austria 7.05 Hungary 6.76 Czechia 6.50 India ranks 155 among 167 countries with 0.52 - 1.4 beds per 1,000 population. This is significantly below the recommended number of beds by the WHO. As far as number of doctors are concerned Cuba is on top with 95 doctors per 10,000 population. Followed by: Monaco 86 Seychelles 66 Greece 66 Belgium 65 As per estimated account of 2025-26 India has 1 doctor per 811 peopl...

Recently,  the One who have travelled the maximum number of countries in the world, fortunately an Indian, said in a t.v. transmission about the foul smell that receive us in most of the railway stations in India. Unfortunately, no corrective action is being taken to subside this. In fact this foul smell can be found wherever public urinals/toilets are installed. It may be quite surprising that neither our people not our our governments are taking any corrective measures in this. Let us know the fact our government is loosing considerable amount of foreign money owing to this reason too. For instance, India is a country with large geographical, historical and religious resources to attract tourists from all over the world.  But for our own reasons we fail in this. While the international tourism receipts in 2024 of USA was $215 billion, during the same period Indian receipt was $35 to ,$36 billion. If we look for this huge variation cleanliness too may be a conside...

        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...

 (African Payal (weeds) above)  (Furniture from sea weeds, made in South Korea- above) After extensive research, Dutch designer Nienke Hoogliet developed Sea Me, a collection of modern and sustainable furniture from sea weeds. In South Korea there are many products brought out from sea weeds. There are production units engaged in the manufacture of furniture in South Korea. They also use sea weeds for food supplements, health products, cosmetics etc  Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has cultivated about 34,000 MT sea weeds in the coastal areas of India in 2021. It is said to have a price over Rs 950/- per kg (to be got verified). Now we may get into the water hyacinth called African Payal in Malayalam. The scientific name of this is Eichhornia Crassipes or Salvinia Auriculate.  These weeds are thickly spread over the entire backwaters of Kerala. These are said to be used for baskets, curtains, furniture etc. ...

The house names are added to the  names of almost every Malayalees. This must be a unique system in the whole world when we consider the formation of this particular names. While it is indicating the clan, cast, community, lineage or tradition in other parts of India, in Kerala these names are derived from geography, flora and fauna, places of worship etc. Most of the house names in this state might have derived from the name of trees, land shapes (high, low, flat etc) natural water ways like river, stream, canal, pond etc. Then comes small, big and old house. Different colours in Malayalam are also nused in house names. The words big and small in local languages also widely used. Adjacence to temple, church etc also used to indicate house names. Large rock fall, paddy field. flower garden and large agricultural land are also very much used as house names. Gold, silver, copper, iron etc are also used as house names in Kerala. Christian and some Hindu names are rarely us...

Scientific meaning of negative energy is that which is a concept used in physics to explain the nature of certain fields, including the gravitational field and various quantum field effects. The energy given to break an atom is considered as negative energy. On the other hand, if we look into negative energy through theological doctrine we may find different forces. Basically there are two energies in the whole universe. Those are positive energy and negative energy. While God is the centre point of all positive energies, it is the devil who heads all negative energies. Many of our religions teach this. This definition, however, seems to be a wrong one. Since all energies of the universe are originated from the Supreme One negative energy too is from Him only. When we commit sin, it is said to be the influence of negative energy.  The measure of energy we have is inherited. It is the energy of our ancestors that flow into us when we take birth in this world. When we are...

The Central Government without any much financial burden can help the rubber cultivators. What the rubber growers want is not grant, subsidy or any such help. They want a reasonable price for their rubber. This can be given if a suitable demand comes up. Yes, it is already there, not to create one. If the government take a decision to mix rubber with tar for road construction all over the country, huge demand will come up for rubber. The demand will naturally increase the price of rubber. By using the rubberised asphalt the road will have considerable durability, reduced maintenance demand, added safety and noise reduction. Therefore, in a short period of time the government can recoup the higher payment and soon can save considerable sum from other factors. However, there is likely to be some resistance by some people on this proposal. Government may deal with such situation, if arises. Alongwith with this the government can use the Rubber Board to conduct research across ...

Industrial  history of the TATA group commenced in 1868 with a Textile Mill in Mumbai. It was also the beginning of the largest establishment of great human beings in India. This TATA group must be the most stainless business management group in the world. The goodness of this great group was not suddenly added for the business publicity. Soon after they have started their first unit over a century ago they had introduced pension and accident compensation for workers first time among Indian industries. From being a family owned business group, TATA Group have developed into an efficient and professionally managed group in the world. Every Indian have faith in any product of TATA. They don't need a second look or a second thought on a TATA product. And that is trust. Alongwith managing business, TATA Group have created a bond with the people of this country merely on humanitarian ground. Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi alongwith Sri Rattan Tata on 28th of April last ina...

Happiness can be briefly defined as a subjective state of well being of mind. However, this cannot be seen as a standard explanation as it  varies from person to person. For instance, generally in the middle class category of people, at least among Indians wide variety of things make them happy. Some people instantly become happy when they take a few pegs of alcohol. Some get happy when they get some unexpected money. Good friends make some happy. Wonderful results for their doings make almost all happy. Happiness is mostly related to contentment of their doings make almost all categories of people happy irrespective of the fact whether they are rich or poor. Despite all these explanation, happiness is interlinked with three states of mind, that is, contentment, happiness and peace. One factor cannot be separated from the other. Sometimes some people fail to identify each one of this that they are going through. Many people think that large stock of money and other form...

Part V (Continued from yesterday)   Presidential Palace of India   No  confidence motion in the Indian Parliament can lead to a mid term election. Only by impeachment in the American senate can unseat the President. While the Prime Minister appoints the cabinet ministers in India, the president nominate the cabinet and send for approval to the senate in US. In India, as a country there is only one constitution. In US every state has it's own constitution. The basic difference between India and the USA is that India has a parliamentary form of government while US has a Presidential system of government. As far as the system of government is concerned we Indians have excessive freedom, but the benefits of it goes to the extremely wealthy and those holding the power. As such despite over seven decades rule by different political parties, the three major issues we have discussed could not be sorted out and contrary to this these are growing up. Corruption has beco...

Part IV (Continued from yesterday) According to Abraham Lincoln a democratic government is - of the people, by the people and for the people. As per the report of Economic Times there are 94.5 crores voters for the ensuing Lok Sabha election. As per democratic norms the government to be formed after the election will be of the 94.5 crores voters and their under aged family members, and that government will be said to be by the people and again it is is believed that it is for the people. If the government is within true democratic norms it cannot become corrupt. That is, the tax money of the people cannot be swindled by a few people in front of all preventive systems. In our democracy we cannot ensure safety of life of about half of the population (women). The GDP - PCI growth cannot remain disproportionate and a section continue to remain below poverty line, if the government is truly and fully of the people, by the people and for the people. The so called democracy is onl...

Part III (Continued from yesterday)   (Nehru and Patel, courtesy     Getty) There are three things that can be seen as the most adverse in the level of assessment of a country. Number one amongst those is the widespread corruption in our country. Number two is the safety of women in our country. The threat faced by women is not confined to any part of the country but throughout. According to the report by NCRB rape cases reported in 2020 were 3,71,503, in 2021 it went upto 4,28,278 and further went upon 2022 to 4,45,256. Women in India is in a pathetic state. As a corrective measure as we we have discussed earlier this issue should also be included in the school syllabus. While counting the serious issues of our country another important aspect is our per capita income. As we have discussed earlier in PCI we rank 120 out of 179 countries whereas we are in the fifth position in GDP. Based on 2019s PPP International Comparison according to the United Nation...

Part II Continued from yesterday           Dr B R Ambedkar Panchayats , Municipalities, State Legislators and National Parliament put together there are 2,77,671 elected members who are entrusted with various decision making. If they fail to take the right decision at the right time some time it may cost heavily to the country. Further to this there are innumerable media reports about some politicians in power swindle huge amount of public money. Though there are ways and means to find out the truth behind the media reports in many cases the people get a feeling that the media reports are not effectively enquired upon. Why it is happening so? The reason behind these are that in most cases the corruption is not a single hand action. It is a chain of action and therefore, the sharing the sum involved in by a large number of people. However, there are absolutely honest people can be found everywhere. And that make the crime leaked out and sometimes reac...

    The Parliament of India.   Image courtesy, India Today   Despite having the required means in the form of natural resources and with a large strength of young manpower we are not able to reach the top layer of wealthy nations. According to Forbes India report dated 7.2.2024 of the top 10 largest economies in the world for 2024, India stands at number five while USA, China, Germany, Japan are ahead of us. When it is  brought into per capita income (ppp) of 2022, it is totally shaken. In a list of 179 countries India's ranking is 120. Our PCI is $ 8,379. Luxembourg ($ 1,42,214), Singapore ($ 1,27,565), Ireland ($ 1,26,905) Norway ($ 1,14,899) Qatar ($ 1,14,648) etc are on top of the list. In women's safety index of 146 countries of 2023 India stands at 127.  All these are the after effect of corruption in our country. Various estimates put the amount of black money from India anywhere between $ 181 billion and $ 1.8 trillion. Another esti...

(World Healthcare Access and Quality Index) Health of the people of a country is determined by various contributing factors prevalent in the country. They include atmospheric pollution, quality of water, quality of food, infrastructure available in the country, medical facilities available, entertainment and sports facilities at reach, behaviour of fellow beings and many such factors. Generally in a world level classification, people of the developed countries are found healthiest. People of developing countries come next and the inhabitants of the underdeveloped countries are found the least in the health categories. According to Bloomberg Global Health Index 2019 the top healthiest countries in the world are: (Name of the country with rank and score) 1. Spain 92.75 2. Italy 91.59 3. Iceland 91.44 4.

King Philip IV  (1621 - 1665) of Spain was known as the Planet King (El Rey Planeta). This name came because his kingdom never had sun set. A German is believed to have said that a Prussian King Frederick the Great in 1756 gifted the moon to his ancestors. Though there are stories about kings who had imaginarily extended their power across the solar system, we may  also find that as on today, thousands of people belonging to many countries hold novelty deeds to show having purchased land in Moon, Mars and other planets from private companies. Many rich Indians too are possessing documents of ownership of land in Moon and Mars. We may say those are imaginary possessions. If that is so our possessions in this earth too are imaginary possessions. Before man comes to the earth, different regions on the earth were under the control of powerful and not so powerful animals. After the arrival of man on the earth he created large region in the forest and open green land...

We  ourselves are boasting that Covid 19 has brought us good number of economic opportunities. Unfortunately we are yet to wake up to the opened situation. Our people, especially the youth, are still moving around unaware of the circumstances. Availing the opportunity well within time is a joint effort both by the government and by the people. It is not enough for the government to announce plans and programmes but also to ensure that the people are availing the way it is needed. In India we have enough resources to produce thousands of goods that are needed in many countries. We also have the required technical know-how to produce such goods with excellent quality. Now, over and above, if we can bring down the cost considerably we can have an abundant market all over. It is the government to provide financial assistance, technical support and working space to our qualified youth. It is the youth to look for the suitable assistance and use it most effectively. Fortunate...

(Great Southwest Industrial Park, Arlington, USA. Image courtesy - Zee News) (This article was published  about an year back) While the government of Kerala is more interested in Governor, V C and such related matters than addressing serious issues concerning the people, the opposition too are joining them. As per the prevailing financial situation of the state, it may not be possible to disburse the salary of the government employees after a few months. It is the duty of the opposition parties to suggest ways and means to the government to overcome this precarious situation. Surprisingly the media too is focusing on petty political issues than discussing more important subjects like the pathetic financial state of the government. When the media and the opposition parties allege financial mismanagement of the government they should also suggest ways and means to get over from this. All said and done the state government is in a red hot spot. It may not be that easy to c...

Sree  Narayana Guru must be one of the greatest human being, may be beyond that, ever born in this holy land. He had Jesus Christ in him, Sree Krishna in him and also Swami Vivekananda in him. He taught great human philosophy in the simplest language. He was not confined himself in temples or any other places of worship. His teachings are not within the framework of ethical and moral code of any religion. He did not preach any faith. He said about the Supreme One in his own language. One cast, one God and one religion is for all men is his prime teaching. He could be the model of modesty and purity. About 25% of the state population constitutes the followers of Sree Narayana Guru. SNDP was the rudimentary organisation for the followers of the Guru. This has since been well established both financially and with political support. Other than having some educational institutions, hospitals and old age homes within the state, what have been done nationally or internationall...

From   Rs 4.76 per dollar in 1947, Indian rupee fell to an altime low of Rs 93.81 as on this  date. However, when USA was facing a severe inflation sometime back, may be one of the harsh one of the recent times, it could make no dents on the US Dollar. It seems that exchange rates are arrived at by some mythical terms of calculation. I think it is near impossible to give a satisfactory explanation to this strange state of international exchange rates. Due to  this inflation, per capita strain on US economy was much higher than India's per capita strain. However during the inflation period the US$ stood as strong as ever but the Indian rupee had severe dent. This economic theory is beyond the concept of modern economics. May the economic priests sit together and arrive at a universally acceptable formula for international monetary exchange. The existing system of exchange rates is not managed by any universal theory. Currently the rates are managed by some...

Communist Party of Cuba is the ruling party of that country. Cuba is headed by the President Miguel Diaz Canel who succeeded Raul Castro as first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba in 2021. As per the existing political system of Cuba, a single party regime is allowed where political opposition is not permitted. Elections in Cuba is not considered democratic because the government does not allow free and fair voting. Before the Cuban revolution it was Fulgecio Batista ruled Cuba from 1940 to 1944. Fidel Castro ruled the country as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2008. He temporarily gave power to his brother Raul Castro at the end period due to medical reasons. Fidel Castro was the first secretary of Communist Party of Cuba from 1965 to 2011. During his tenure he made Cuba a one party Communist state. Industry and business were nationalised and socialist reforms were implemented. During the regime of Castro Cuba had economic support...

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 ...
