Mother's Day

Being a mother is a gift. I don't believe any women can be mother. It takes lots of sacrifice, guts and selflessness. Usually we call everyone who gives birth, a mother or a father. Its not that simple. A mother is a symbol, an idea. Any women can give birth but not everyone worthy to be called mother, same with father. We even use phrase, "motherly instincts" in our daily vocabulary.  We have many famous and not so famous mothers like Irom sakhi Devi, mother of "The Iron Lady of Manipur" Irom chanu sharmila, who hasn't saw her daughter for more than 10 years except one or two visits to hospital. Its been years since she caressed her daughter, spoke to her. This mother is fully aware of the depth of the issues her daughter stands for. She wishes good luck and is proud of her daughter. She even promised herself to not to disturb or try to see her daughter, till all of this isn't over.  Now thats some tough and hard core love mixed with pride and respect. She represent the admirableness of love,pain and sacrifice a mother had to endure for her sibling.

Now here, it's altogether another story where we can see the effects of love in the form of what a young boy from Karnataka state had done for his mother. He daily see his mother walking kilometers to get water for the household. One day he decided to help her by doing something crazy enough for the people to mock and discourage him. Most important thing is that he is a bloody teenager, such a tender age. Here he decided to dig a well of his own, at home. His mother tried to discourage him and requested to go back on this Goliath task, but he was resilient. For 1 month he dug on his own with out any help from any outsiders. After that he took the help from professional diggers and completed the task in 2 months. He dug 45 feet on his own. Now thats something near impossible to ordinary minds. But his sheer determination, duty and love towards  his mother enabled to completed the task successfully. Now thats something heroic.

What better stories to share than these two, on this special day of May 8th which is celebrated as Mother's Day. Both the stories represent the love. To every parents their kids are precious. We are the apple of their eye. What better thing to give them than love them and surprise them with little sacrifices we are ready to make for them. Happy Mother's day to all.

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...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
