Normal And Abnormal

Sometimes back an Indian made a trip to Japan in connection with some business matters. During the stay in Japan, one day he travelled in a city bus there. After getting down from the bus at the destination he noticed that he lost his purse. He immediately asked a Japanese person found close by that where could he find the nearby police station. That man asked him why he is looking for the police station. Our friend told him that he was from India and he lost his purse in the bus. The Japanese then asked him whether his address or local contact could be found in the purse . He told him that he was staying in a hotel and the card of the hotel is available in the purse. The man said. "Nothing to worry. By the time you reach the hotel, the purse would be available there."  Our man reached the hotel after sometime and told the story of the missing purse to the receptionist. He then picked the purse and gave him. He found that nothing was lost from the purse. Someone w...

Despite having large resources to exploit, and large number of young and qualified manpower available, for one reason or the other, we could not tap those resources and deploy the manpower. Had we exploited those adequately we could have brought our unemployment level to zero, the per capita income of our people could have been brought up to a much higher level. Our export earnings could have been carried to a higher level. Similarly the import could have brought down considerably. We could also looked for a zero population below poverty line. We must not ignore certain facts prevailing in our country. A good share of our population do not have their own houses. Many of our people are suffering from serious diseases and they don't have enough money to avail proper treatment. There are countless number of parents in our country who cannot provide education to their children. However, despite collecting large sum from the people our governments do not focus their attentio...

Amazingly a good number of Indian voters going to the polling booths with no much knowledge about the candidate or the party for whom they want to vote. In some cases the voters have a traditional feeling that their father and grandfather voted to this party, so that they too will vote for the same party. In some other cases the village heads reported to have advised the whole villagers much about voting including the procedures, to which the people strictly adhere to. In some cases the God Himself is brought to the scene and according to the advice of the Supreme One they decide the candidate.(No one may agree this openly and it would be difficult to prove the purity of our democracy. There were also what's app message showing chicken and something else distributed to the public. It would be difficult to prove that the receivers are prospective voters) As per the Census report of 2011, 39.4 percent of the population are illiterates, 37.6 percent...

Despite possessing immense natural resources and large manpower to exploit we Indians prefer to be called a poor country. We make no attempt to become the richest country in the world. We still maintain about one fourth of our population below poverty line in international standard. Our successive rulers find no shame in this. Corruption is rampant in our country. Not even a feeble attempt is made to eradicate this cancerous vice from our society. If a government earnestly wishes we can make this country corruption free within thirty days. But who is there to wish! Now, if India really want to target  economic and social development of international level, our prime attempt should be to eradicate politics from schools and colleges. If anyone is adamant to learn politics both theoretically and practically let there be  few political universities. All there practical experiments should be strictly confined within their college campus. Under no circumstances they shou...

(Nature's painting of a Rabbit on the sky) Can you imagine that you are living in an area surrounded by high Walls. We can neither see anything outside the wall nor hear anything from there. Sometimes while jumping we may get a glimpse of something outside. Since it is only for a short while, we cannot identify anything from that vision. That may be in a different dimension. However some abnormal or unseen things fell into our vision remain with us for some time.  Normally we call these visions as dreams. Depending upon the clarity of the vision and post analysis of what is seen we may interpret and disclose to others. Normally they may not get any idea of it is all about. Then, sometimes together we may keep interpreting it. These can be based on our aspirations, fear etc. There may not be any imaginary vision registered in our eyes. It is like a camera. All photos taken are real only. Nothing imaginary. However in the absence of proper light or irregular focusing the ...

Just think about  When you hate man, you hate your Creator too. Your prayers too may be left unheard until you correct yourself. ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ  നിങ്ങൾ മറ്റൊരു മനുഷ്യനെ വെറുക്കുമ്പോൾ അയാളുടെ സ്രഷ്ടാവായ ദൈവത്തെയും വെറുക്കുകയാണ്. സ്വയം തിരുത്തുന്നതുവരെ നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രാർത്ഥനകൾ പോലും ദൈവം കേൾക്കുകയില്ല.

If a poor to become rich, plenty of hard work, adequate knowledge and excellent tactics are required. Whereas a rich to become richer nothing but timely decision only needed. India is a rich country. In order to make us richer, what we need are timely decisions and quick follow ups. I wish to submit a three point formula for us to make a quantum leap in the economic front. While two of these will give instant returns, the third one will strengthen the base. The first of the three is, eliminate corruption completely from this country. This will be a stern measure towards the growth of the economy. It will ensure that every investment shall reach at the right end and every disbursement shall reach the appropriate hands. Huge, rather unmeasurable sum of money is pumped out of our country every year. May be a larger sum might be hidden within our country with no reproductive scope. If these dead money is brought into legitimate circulation, every Indian and the country as a who...

Note: This was published in October 2020. Since its a contemporary subject just publishing it again. The   photograph appeared in today's news paper (Nov 2023) prompted me to write this, and being posted again. Film actress Kangana Ranaut walking through the public place surrounded by Y plus security personnel. Y category is a type of security consisting of 11 persons including one or two commandos or police personnel. Why this security is needed for Kangana, an ordinary woman, to walk through a public place in India? Because she has expressed her opinion in public about the government. She too must have voted for electing the government. Article 19  of the Indian constitution is guarenteeing individual rights and absolute freedom of expression under any circumstances for every citizen of India. Decades after approving the constitution and making it bound to be obeyed by every citizen of India, a state government is unanimously disallowing this constitutional ...

      Monumental Axis Brasilia, Brazil We may here probably go through some unseen or unheard of roads in the world. Longest straight road  Highway No 10 in Saudi Arabia from Harad to Al Bata with a distance of 276 km straight stretch of road is the longest in the world in this category.

Kerala, according to the recent nuisance reported against women, is a very unsafe place for women. A good looking woman cannot even go out to a public place even after sun set!

Money swindling has become a routine thing for Indians; not a news at all. Latest of it is the 'Pandora Box'. Pandora papers are the largest trove of leaked data exposing tax haven secrecy in history. This is casting light on the financial secrets of some of the world's richest people. Out of the long list of internationally known people 380 are Indians. They too are well known in different fields. All those Indians involved in this number two game are rich. They all have a huge stock of wealth more than enough for the coming many generations. Still their thirst for money couldn't be appeased. All said and done this is being continued for long and may continue for long too. The following are suggested to prevent this trend for the attention of all concerned. 1. Find out why Indians are trying to invest abroad? For more returns or for mere secrecy? This is to be studied indepth. 2. If our tax rates are higher than many such prospective countries, can we think...

In the 36th National Games in Gujarat, the performance of Kerala was really deplorable. While Kerala bagged 54 Gold, 48 Silver and 60 Bronz with a total of 162 medals in the last game of 2015 and stood second in the medal tally, we are placed at the sixth position in the medal tally in the Games in Gujarat. We could get only 23 Gold, 18 Silver and 13 Bronz with a total of 54 medals. Kerala is behind Services, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The 37th National Games were held in Oct/Nov  2023 in different cities in Goa.

According to media reports, the Central Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Sri Nitin Gadkari informed that pot holes of the roads across the country shall be got repaired. As per available information the state of Kerala has a road network consisting of 11 National Highways, 72 State Highways and a good number District Roads. Since the present offer by the minister is restricted for 11 NH only, the huge number of State and District Roads which are full of potholes and other serious damages are not to be taken up by the Central Ministry. Since the state is in absolute paucity of funds the repair is not likely to be taken up in the near future, the Central Ministry may directly arrange for the repairs of all these currently at their cost.  The money spent for this purpose may be booked on the state's account and recovered conveniently.  It maybe be noted that there were 43,910 road accidents in Kerala in 2022 killing 4,317 and injuring 49,307 people.

"The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die."  - Juliette Lewis (Various awards winning, renowned American actress, still active in films) We   may first go through the suicide scenario in the world.

Primarily an actor becomes popular for the charector he played. During the course of time his action, facial expressions, voice etc too become factors for consideration. If he is young, his look, body, dancing perfection etc also contribute to the popularity. Once a leading actor enter into politics and tries his luck in election, instantly his fans get divided. And many of them become rivals too. This rivalry continue throughout the life. Even if he retires from politics the rivalry continue. In American politics two film actors become successful in politics are known to us, Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. However in Indian politics there are not many who could shine in national politics. To name a few, they are, N T Rama Rao, M G Ramachandran, Jaya Lalita, Hema Malini, Smriti Irani, Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Babbar, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Prada, Jaya Bachchan etc. If one is a real actor and successful in film career it would be preferable for such ones to keep away f...

            Rashtrapati Bhavan  The  government of Kerala may face a tough situation to meet the day to day expenditures. The successive governments have not done anything positive to enhance the revenue adequately for the state. Accusing the central government for shortage of every rupee is a mere excuse. When we driven away hundreds of business establishments came to the state, we never thought about this situation. Our prime aim was politics and even now it is politics alone.The governments are totally depending upon alcohol and lottery for revenue other than taxes. It is quite surprising that a state like Kerala, having adequate resources like one of the best infrastructure and manpower available in the country putting no efforts to utilise those. On the other hand, the trade unions helped to close down a good number of industries and prevented many businesses houses and industrial units from setting up in the state. Instead of fin...

As  per the available data the  (2023) literacy rate of India was 77.70% . Among the states Kerala holds the top position with 94%. While going through the ratings of education given by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) based on graduation or post graduation or professional courses within the age group between 25 and 64 years among the population the top ten countries with their ratings are given below.

However  as shown above we rated ourselves high in literacy. Since our own literacy rating is either imaginary or mythical, this cannot be compared with the ratings of advanced countries. We may, therefore, restructure our literacy ratings gradually to much higher level. At present the standard set for literacy see...

      (Close up photos of Moon) Many  people from different countries have so far bought land in Mars and Moon. Good number of Indians too have made such land purchases over the years. In 2020 a man from Ajmer, Rajasthan gifted 3 acres land in moon to his wife on their eighth wedding anniversary. Ever since late Sushant Singh Rajput, Shah Rukh Khan and other celebrities have  bought good extend of land in moon,  many people purchased smaller pieces from them. Sea of Tranquility is the most sought after region in the moon. The existing price per acre is US $37.50 (₹2775/-) which may be varied on either side depending upon other agencies. A Software Engineer employed in an engineering firm in NOIDA was awarded with one acre land in Moon by his employer in recognition of his hard work. There seem to be more Indians who have purchased land in other planets. However, anyone venture into making any deals in extraterrestrial real estate sho...

(Image courtesy - The Times of India) According to media reports the government of Kerala has taken a decision sometimes back to ward off corruption from the state. If the government is determined, it may not be difficult to enforce the decision. In order to  implement this more effectively, the following may also be taken care of. The anti corruption law should be made brief and unequivocal. Irrespective of the amount of money involved, the punishment should be dismissal from service forthwith with a minimum penalty of ten times the money involved in the concerned activity plus imprisonment as the case may be. In the case of suppliers, contractors etc those  involved or corroborated in the action, registration of such firms should be cancelled immediately. Such person/firm should not be considered for any future business with the state. Alongwith these, it should be made mandatory that the names of any government official or politician approach with any recommenda...

In order  to prevent food adulteration we have enough law in our country. We have ministries in Center and in every state to eradicate this destructive tendencies. According to the report by the concerned ministry about a decade back, around 20% of food articles in our country are adulterated and it is considerably increased every year. A report by the FSSAI, about 70% of the milk produced in our country are adulterated. Over and above these, most of the vegetables and fruits sold in our markets are heavily infected by dangerous pesticides. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India is the parent body of FSSAI. As per the data shared by the government in the Lok Sabha, 47.5% cases registered in the whole country from 2015-16 to 2020-21 are in UP alone. Unfortunately, the conviction rate in food adulteration is only 15%. India has been ranked eighth in cancer preparedness among 10 Asia-Pacific countries. Among the Indian states Kerala has the highest rate...

Nowhere in the world we may find such amount of orators. Whether it is politics, religion, revolution, advanced methods for poverty removel, liberal economy or any such subject there is no dearth of orators. Listeners are there or not, does not matter but  mike is a must. Since our census papers do not have a column to count the scholars in the state this data is not available. We are also on top in number of meetings! Evening hours one can find meetings at every nook and corner of cities, towns and villages of the state. When economic policies of UN is evaluated at one place,  liberation of Taiwan is the subject in another, The James Web Telescope on the Space is under discussion in another corner. In many cases orators are more than the listeners. There are a good number of instances where the stages were collapsed by the huge weight of them and injuring many. As far as the knowledge and opinions of the orators are concerned, these are not firm and steady but dep...

There are about 30,000 components in an average petrol car including the tiny hose connector, bolts and nuts of different sizes and upto the large engine block. A petrol/diesel car has ove 200 components in the combustion engine whereas an electric car has only 20 components. When we make a simple assessment, this 90 per cent reduction in parts may bring considerable reduction in the sale price. But it is not so. We may find here the Tata Tiago (petrol) ex show room price in Kochi, that is Rs 5,59,900. (The figures shown here are that of about early 2024) Tiago Ev, Rs 8,69,000, 19.2 KWh. We may find here a hike in  price for about 55 per cent from petrol car to ev car. The reason for this price increase is said to be for the following. One is the high price of battery and the other is lack of manufacturing facilities. If a new battery is fitted in a Tiago it cost between Rs 4.1 to 5.1 lakh. Lithium reserves in our country was comparatively low could be one reason for th...

Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and      Research Centre, New Delhi     Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital Mumbai                      We have umpteen number of bodies for the development of agriculture in India. Whether it is the development of rice, wheat, vegetable or fruit, it should be finally destined for the development of the people. However, most unfortunately, our agricultural development is ultimately leading to the retrogression of humans in our country. Cancer patients in India is projected to increase to 29.8 millions in 2025 from 26.7 millions in 2021. Many chemical contents in pesticides and chemical fertilizers  are potential enough to cause cancer. Pesticides used in vegetables and fruits have devastating elements to make people infected with cancer. Over and above these some business people adamantly make healthy people into cancer patients.

According to the facts and figures revealed by the results of the assembly election of four states shows that the voters have left their resolute nature in accepting a political ideology and rejecting another one. They have become more liberal and intense in finding good and bad. The preconceived socialist economic theory has been reanalyzed. This election could also well explain that God, religion, economics and politics  cannot be mixed together and served among the literate community. This verdict of the people clearly indicates that the rulers cannot hide much from the ruled. And it also gives alert calls for the coming national elections that people can no more remain silent and without any resistance to uncontrolled correction throughout the country. Our future politicians should also know that people will not allow anymore fo keep the door of education closed. Further to all these, the people of the God's Own Country  is appeared to have come out of the illu...

Today's news report says that over 1.2 lakhs children rejected Kerala syllabus and left the schools. It has become customary for the concerned departments to prepare the syllabus in a channelised manner. We have a good number of issues in our society looking for ways and means for a result oriented solution. Today's school children will be tomorrow's legislators, judiciary, police, teachers, writers and so on. Wherever we elders have failed to find solutions we may pass it on to the coming generation specifying our failures in details. We have such amount of problems like corruption all over the country, widespread use of narcotics by our youth,  uncontrollable politics of our country, irritation among various religions and most unsafe conditions of women in our country. Another serious matter is the huge number of road accident deaths on our roads. In 2022 alone there were 4,61,312 road accidents in India killing 1,68,491 and injuring 4,43,366 people. We must b...

Norway ranks top in the world for safety of women. Women can travel through the isolated streets or busy cities any time during day or night without the slightest apprehension. Can an Indian women ever imagine about this in her own country? Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland,. Sweden, Austria, UK, Netherlands etc are also safe countries for women. Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen are in the bottom of the list as far as safety of women is concerned. The Women's Peace and Safety Index shows the worst countries in the world as per their rankings below. 1. Afghanistan 2. Syria 3 . Yemen 4. Pakistan 5. Iraq 12. Somalia  17. Bangladesh 22. India.  This list is not a honour for our country. We may be looked down by the world. Who are responsible for this situation? Not one but many. The number one is our successive governments. If proper identification and stringent punishments were ensured we could have ensured safety for women in our country. If safety of wo...

Top - Kalaram temple, Nashik, Maharashtra Middle - Thriprayar Sri Ram temple, Kerala Bottom - Ram Mandir, Bhubaneswar, Odisha    These three subjects have created lot of problems and taken countless number of lives across the world. While the prime subject God is something beyond human brain. Most of us fail to understand that truth. Some people have some scattered thoughts about God and such ones are creating confusion in simple human minds. Hinduism and Christianity say that God Himself have appeared first and from Him everything else came into being. The Big Bang theory of the modern science also suggests that a tiny particle came into being first and from that all space, time and matter came into being. Since all these three suggest same thing about the beginning it can be safely concluded that all those in the universe have come into existence from God. In other words all these are in the universe is God Himself. Whether it is sun, moon...

"Aging is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - Anonymous Most people in their 20s and 30s become too instable and carrying lot of stress in finding a job and overcoming the financial burdens. By reaching over 60 these stress slowly fade away and start enjoying a life they have made and, therefore, happiness   and well being  are with you. Semantic memory - your knowledge of the world and experiences, including recollection of facts and figures resist aging. Older people tend to write things down and organise their lives in a way that benifits their memory. Seniors are better decision makers,  more emotionally stable and become less impulsive than their younger peers according to research. Old people know the value of their time, energy and happiness. Stress in life are reduced as their children leave the house, they retire, and they have more time to do the things they really want to do. Comparing to the younger ones, the...

Converting a massive population into voting instruments by a handful of people representing different political parties with common interest is made to be called as 'Democracy' in India now. For a good number of people it is an easy way to amass wealth with the so called consent of people. Every action by these 'People's representatives ' deemed to have consent of the whole people. Yet the people do not react. Because they have not taught what is democracy and how to react upon. May be the least preference given in some of the Indian states is for education. Even after about a century of self governance the literacy rate of our country is about 78% with Kerala 96% and Bihar 47% (2011) on both ends. However, in reality, the average literacy of our country must be below 50% because the definition  given for literacy is, anyone above 7 years who can read and write (one's name) is literate. The literacy criteria should be changed upwards every year to th...
