'The Land of the insane' This was the beautiful name given to Kerala a hundred years ago by Swami Vivekananda on his first visit to Kerala. On November 12 1892 while on his way to kanyakumari he had to alight at shornur railway station as there were no railway lines beyond that. His friend and follower Mr.Sreenivas iyer waited with his palki to welcome Swami to his home at Trichur. He sat abode the palki enjoying the beauty of this heaven on earth.The lush greenery and clustered coconut palms took away his heart,and he must have muttered 'Gods own country' Unknowingly. The palki carriers as they swung their bodies in motion to their synchronizing tune alerting the people of the arrival of a high-caste person. At a place called Mullakkara, swamiji happened to witness how a man was being pushed to keep away from the road. When asked he was told that it was a custom prevailing in Malabar or northern Kerala that a man of a low caste should hide himself if a man of a hi...

All mothers out there working at home or at office. keep one eye open if not both and one ear closed so that what you hear causes less harm to your heart and mind.Dont let your conscience one day ask you "what a mother you are'.I wouldnt ask you to not believe in your children but not wholly.Gone are the days of your childhood when you followed your route of home-school-home or home-college-home.We grew up with certain ethics and principles and we do wish our children imbibe them and grow likewise.But our little babies are in a complete different era.In trying to keep pace with the fast growing and revolutionizing world.These little kids have little idea about family values(forget traditional) or cultures. Internet and mobiles are the two major culprits.Fixing dates and places of meeting at Malls,theatres and parentless homes.Mainly flats because its a better option with no eyes and ears following you except the watchman who sticks on to his job by just' watching'...

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.

'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...

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...
