9:19 pm	Dad...... it is a long one year... dad has departed me. even though this counts to a calendar year, the separation is not yet felt to me. today after the terrific office hrs. i was sitting connected and as usual I peeped into one of the regular blogger's page. and one topic was about the relation btw herself and her father.. that reading taken me to my teenage life. a rebel is taking birth in his(her) teenage, it seems. and this rebellion may start at home with one close but with a watch full eyes. i was never an exception. but one who really rebelled with his dad, with his teachers or any one who dictates the law for him. weeks together, i had not talked with my parents. and it became my pleasure to question them or disobey them. this made me just to disobey what they say. I always had some or other understanding problem with my dad. we could never communicate properly. it was some realization which made me to accept my dad as he is, instead of comparing with an ideal situation. and I went much closer to my dad and we became life friends. i came to know about his childhood. And his teenage and youth. we could talk anything. but the time was not sufficient to understand him also he could not express himself with that short period..... even if i could not believe, he just left me here. no repentance... the rebellion that made me to understand my dad in a better way.

4:18 am	whoes thumbs are up once again the religious fundamentalists ruled the Indian streets. the recent happenings in Gujarat has shown the polarized social and its law enforcing establishments. once of the minority community is not considered as the citizen of India even by the chief minister of the state. instead of going into the mayhem and the continuing genocide under the saffron brigade, my perception is going to the beneficiaries of the planned atrocities (or so called mob psychology as per our home minister). the temple issue has been light up recently to help BJP on account of U.P. election. but the temple is not become an issue in the election and the people mandate went against the hidutwa bigots. the post election scenario was not suitable for VHP to continue with the issue. Politically keep the temple issue alive become a realy head ache for VHP and other parivar organizations. VHP wanted to hibernate the present issue for the time being with out loosing its credibility among the 'neo-saffronists'. the other side, the union financial budget was table on 28th by the finance minister. the budget from is scrap was designed and written by the WTO agencies and is against the majority of Indian population. a massive criticism was due for the current budget proposals. But, the Godra incident and the aftermath has turned the medial and public attention to Gujarat and the budget proposals and its criticism didn't get much space in the media. now VHP has changed its voice and ready for postponement of the temple construction..... (considering the thanks to Godra and Gujarat..... vante matharam!!!!!! (Comment on this)

4:15 am	where she stands.... Kerala with the beautiful caption GODS OWN COUNTRY can be proud of a lot of things. the high literacy rate, relatively better social status, high female to male ratio, and a lot more. even with all these social advancements a major art of the society is still being oppressed and marginalized. that includes dalits and the WOMEN, Kerala is no where different in case of gender inequality and gender related discriminations. with the new social reforms and cultural developments, the population inversion in our society is also taking place. the recent census shows that the female ratio to that of male is alarmingly decreasing in the 0-5 years of age. an appraisal of the various structural parts of our society clearly shows how the discrimination to the women folk by the male dominated society. starting from the basic system like the family. the distribution of power is yet to happen over here. the discrimination continued in the family is simplified as the 'jus-mariti' and socially accepted. when we considered us as one of the most civilized and democratic society, the same concepts a miles away from our family door steps. Kerala may be the only state in India where the women are a major part in the working class. that results the self earning capacity to her. but it seldom gives her a financial independence. the idealised womanhood defined by the male dominated society seldom gives her a chance to utilize the money she has earned according to her wish. and everybody wants to become the ideal..... the most politically sensible society in India is certainly Kerala, but here also the participation from the half of the population is not accounted. irrespective of the left / right all the political organization has a complete male dominated power structure. and the elected member and their assembly never constitutes a representative structure. why with all these high social rating among the states , the women are still oppressed and ill treated? this question points to the stereo-typed society. we are still not ready to understand the individuality of a woman and ready to give her a chance to come out into the social mainstream from the interior of our kitchen. None of the national / social issues like war poverty, economic reforms etc are allowed to addressed or discussed by the one half of the society. again, if we see the statistics of criminal records, we are not far behind the other states of India at-least in gender related crime. no woman is socially secure in any part of the society. the existing power structure is limiting even her freedom to travel. the walking style for an ideal female is defined and this even limits here free body movements. Kerala may be the only state where mixed seating is an ethical crime. Here, the most civilized(?) society, still teat woman as a commodity , still prevailing local slang for her is "charakku" (goods). the definition for chastity very much like that, she is treated a bottle of cola or something with a perfect seal. and the marker value depends on the condition of the so called 'seal'. on a closer examination reveals more codes of conduct designated for the female part by the society. and the roots of this we can see in out so defined 'Hindu Culture'. Manusmrithi is still followed even after so many manuantharas.... So we can happy we are not far from thretha yuga, where Seetha (the ideal sturcture of a wife) was also treated like this by the GOD. The Males in the GODS OWN COUNTRY is more near to the god.... and be merry with this. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:49 am	We believe India is one of the largest democratic country in the world. If we have to believe in this, we may have to close our eyes to our surroundings (the social, cultural and historic) and just go with our legislature. Because we Indians are yet to know the practical democracy. To analyse a heterogeneous society like ours is not an easy task. Still it is just a close up examination of the basic levels of our society. the education system has to play a vital role in a democratic system. The school is the place where an individual is born. In that sense a school should be in a position to give the basic education for a person to become democratic. In an idle sense, the system of education should be democratic in a democratic society. On a close examination of the present educational system, how much democratic it is?? In the present scenario, a school is an independent, isolated system from the society. And seldom the students come in contact with his surrounded social life. The system, which imparts bookish knowledge to the children, cannot produce a democratic individual. The current system of education is totally a teacher centric establishment, where the child is having a little or no part to play. He is there just to listen what he is taught. Still here a child is never treated as an individual who is having the capability to understand and respond to his environment in his own way. We still follow the same system of the education, which was implemented by the colonial forces for their benefits. hence the discipline is still the primary goal of the education. Children are supposed to obey their teacher or all their elders. and in practice this type of system is required in a feudal society or in a cader party. Obedience is simple follow what the superior say. Teachers are never questionable. And this is continued through out his life of studentship. Through out his academic life he never comes in contact with the participatory democratic system where he is part of . The power of a democratic system is the people. Without understanding our own powers how can we participate in this democratic process? And the education system never gives the opportunity to understand the powers and responsibilities of an individual. It is a generally accepted belief that the child who is ignorant of every this has to be taught everything by teacher. but is is so? teaching or the class room is only one of the way he gets some kind of knowledge. at the same time his on enquiries in nature with his friend cirlce. and a lot of other intercation makes his to gather much more knowledge. so apart from the books, the open social contacts also has its own role to play in child development. if the concept of eduction is limited to an extend in which the education is considered as marksheets or degrees one holds, and it is being an entry point for a job of his survival, it seldom accomplish its meaning. until the system of education is either changed to open itself to the environment and take the child to the outside the world or bring the world into the class room, the education will fail to create a democratic society.

12:00 pm	God.... where do he exists... In my little town there is a police out post. And 2-3 cops on duty. Every month they are in worry, they have to complete their quota of case charging. They do have to get some criminals every month for their survival. Once the town becomes clean with out any criminals.... where the police will go... During past few years, our society becomes more religious. More god men will their huge followers. What happened here? Temples are revived and numbers are increasing... If we look back, the gods were sun, moon, wind, sea.... out ancestors were not had much knowledge to understand the moon is a satallite or sun is a star.... so the veil on the knowledge has got the name GOD. And the god always is being a cataract in out eyes. It is become the easiest solution to everything. We can indeed polish our deed with name of god. .... Our ignorance incarnated as god... then where does he................. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:43 pm	Broiler Chicken The broiler life The consumer need and the technological advancements have brought a new variety of chicken in the market, the broiler chicken. It is designed(?) to become biriyani or a fry on the dining table. So it needs not to accomplish any other activities of a life form in the earth. It is born in an incubator and spending its short span of life in a closed hatchery. Of course it is fed with highly nutritious or protein rich food. Need not to bother about its security or food. Everything is provided in right time. How fine the life. It need not use its wings in its lifetime. It even need not walk. If our genetic engineering can help.... we don't requird its bones and skin too... we want only the flesh. We the human are here with his most modern weapon the technology to prune anything ... just like designing machine of a building we now try to redesign all the life forms... Is the humans are away from this practical or consumerist world? Look at the life of present generation... life in a city. Spend the babyhood inside closed door. Never touch the earth never see the sun... it is not far from a hatchery life of broiler chicken, isn't it? His life is in always inside a test tube rather... never see the reality out side... the education system, which give him the essentials... everything in a capsule form. And read only the textbooks and he has to become a doctor/engineer... don't waste time in spending in other activities. Every time think about the future. He is now designed for the future. Don’t bother about the outside world baby. What u want is given to u. don't worry... and in his life time he never uses his individuality.... never think himself... and now with all these system of education and the lifestyles... a new broiler is ready to serve.... We know the broiler chickens are tasteless, indeed. (Comment on this)
