Child Welfare - My opinion


2011-12 union budget is near and i think it is only fair to take a look at our nation's child welfare. Let us hope this time Govt. will do justice, by allocating more than the usual 3% in the budget, for the benefit of poor children. Our substructure is not good enough to support the basic needs of children. Children are more prone to violence. If we don't take proper care; denying education, basic amenities, proper health, of our children(basically poor and orphans), i can assure you we are looking at a bleak future. You and i have almost 100% probability of getting what we want in our life. But what about those who are living in the road sides, all those tribal, poor children in Assam,Gujarat etc., children in J&K who are daily subjected to gun violence.
Educating street children is not a simple task. First they should be attracted and get the idea and need for education, for that we need to provide them with food and virtually supporting their entire lives. Their primary concern is food, most of the days, they have to sleep empty stomach. One cannot possibly think that, granting a certain amount would eradicate all the problems. Officials would have to be dedicated for the cause, officials should take it to their door steps. Initiative should be from Government's side.People should be aware that such poor lives are also living among them. They should be given the opportunity to get ahead in their life with good education and better sustenance.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

Long live humans

I always wondered by the fact that on what basis did they give Mr. Obama a Nobel peace prize. All that i can remember what he did is talking. Or is it because he wrote a book, then its definitely not a big deal at all. Even Paris Hilton did publish books. Any one can write a book now a days, if it is by a celebrity then its going to be a best seller even if it has blank pages. As far as i know you don't expect to acquire peace by talking, you need to do something for that. Even so i think he is much much better than Mr.Bush. In India we have a decent and respectable man as a PM but as we all know he doesn't have a say in any matter. He must stand up to his reputation. People think he is just a puppet in the hands of Congress. If we go to Italy it is worse in there. PM is a morally  deteriorated person. The man slept with almost every women he came across and is accused with paying money for underage sex. Still the guy is shameless. Another one is Mr.Gaddhafi who is not r...
