The women who made heaven on earth

Talent is what you possess and genius is what possesses you' Here meet this women who gave meaning to her life by planting more than 300 trees. She carried pails of water on her head and shoulder for distance of four kilometers to water the trees planted by her and her husband chikkaiah.Thikkamma was the reciepeint of many prestigious awards(National citizens award-1995,Indira priyadarshini vrikshmitra award-1997,veera chakra prashasti award-1997 and a certificate of honour from the welfare department( W&C) karnataka and a certificate of appreciation from the Indian Institute of wood science and technology. All these were feathers of her crown with which she grew to fame but none of these provided her what she needed the most in her oldage.Though we say trees provide us with shelter. tikkamma struggled with her lonliness till the awards and certificates and trees blurred from her vision and she flew from her heaven on earth to the garden of eden.

May humanity be your goal

'All the world is a stage and all men and women merely players'.truly said by shakespere.The only difference being the players who could be categorised as rich,very rich,poor and very poor.I hope this letter would fly to you like a white dove and fulfill my duty of creating awareness of the very poor who happen to leave your state and live a life of dirt and stink in other states becoming a blotch to your famed name and a shame to your fast growing infrastructure and technology. Art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order. Your state which is now on the treshold of topping the charts of indian states could make your citizens proud and for others a role model to follow.But there is one very important thing that to my knowledge should be given due importance and needs an immediate solution.only then can you be called a superior state in the true sense.Kerela which is called gods own country and which has an 100 % l

Listen to them

Life is always like the two sides of a coin.Happiness and sorrows take turns rolling into your life uninvitingly at different stages.Thanking god for the former and cursing him for the latter.We at times of miseries, detest our lives and forget to convince and cajole ourselves that its just the other side of the coin,and its just an interval.Those are the times we should remember a few hundreds who get to see only the darker side of life.They are banned by the laws of god to see the brighter side of life.They have no place in any institution,neither gods nor mans.They have no homes,no schools.They are not part of globalisation,revolution,resolutions and technologies.of which we talk of proudly.Yes they do contribute in global-warming,burning tons and tons of clothes thrown to them by large hearted people mainly done to clean their houses.When our children are entering into a digital world there are these children of the street who have not seen the doors of a school.Get a little cl

A via-ble die-able age when money in hand could land you in unadvisable places.The ILO chief technical advisor MP Joseph added saying they could do safe jobs.If one happen to exclude the unsafe jobs we would be left with a few.Introducing the education rights act and simultaneously lowering the age for working would leave much options for the children to opt out of studying at 14,which means more and more children would only have a ssc certificate.It could have been increased to 16 so that a minimum 12th pass was assured.He also added ILO was commited to improving the diginity of workers which comes under the purview of labour laws.May that be a relief to the thousands of labourers spread out all over kerela who are facing harsh circumstances. The education of their children being most effected hope some measures would be taken to ensure schoolings for the children of the labourers
