Proud to be an Indian

Many days ago I read in the newspaper that a cartoonist of NYT apologized for the unfair portrayal of India's mars mission. In that cartoon it is shown that a farmer carrying a cow is knocking at the door of the Elite space club. This representation made the Indians very much outraged.

Why should we be so irked on seeing such brainless creations? I am also an Indian. What I saw in this cartoon is the jealousy of US over India. India had launched the Mars mission on spending only $74 billion which is quite unexpected by the huge western countries like US, Russia & Europe. Launching such a substantial mission at a cheap rate is a back-breaking work. India, with the label "developing country", had achieved this very cleverly. This quick-witted activities had thus revealed others that we, Indians are perspicacious. Thus we should feel proud of ourselves. Also we should feel delighted on the way how others are feeling jealous on our prodigious victory.

But what I read in the newspaper is that the lion share of Indians became empurpled with fury on seeing this portrayal. This is because they are not ready to accept a farmer to be a representative of India. Are farmers such a dreadful section of employees? We all know that India is an agricultural country. Farmers are the backbone of the country. They produce the food crops, oil seeds and the commercial crops. They also produce many raw-materials essential for many industries. They are the one who give Indian economy an analogous strength. Without farmers our economy will be impoverished. Thus they are the life blood of our nation and we should be proud to be in an agricultural country.

Review: Freedom from the known

This is a review on the book "Freedom from the known" by Jiddu Krishnamurti. I read this book about 2 months ago. This is the one and only book that I read from cover to cover with full concentration. I want to share my experience because this is the most deepest book that I have ever read and it was a challenging experience for me. The book is a philosophical one which includes the subject matters such as freedom, fear, self-centered behaviour of humans and finally meditation. The first part of the book describes about "Freedom". Here the freedom means getting free from all authorities. That is, free from the nasty rules of the society, religion and whatever the authority is and be with a fresh, young and an unconditioned mind. Jiddu mentioned that we should not merely f...

Mushrooming Boutiques in Kerala: The rise of Fashionista

Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing. For many people fashion is of higher priority while for others keeping up with trend isn't much important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is that, it always change . Now with giant chain stores like Fabindia and the dawn of fashionistas like Pallavi namdev and Donna Karan, fashion trends change faster and more global than ever. Let's have a glimpse on the trends in clothing among teenage girls which pave the way for the growth of boutiques. The full skirt with long blouse, was once the traditional dress for teenage girls. But it's now disappearing from the fashion screen of Kerala. On ceremonial occasions and festival days, girls used to worn Pattu paavada. This is simply stitched from the nearby tailoring shops. But now such a scene has vanished. The half saree facilitates the transition from pattu paavada to saree, something a bit more complicated garb. But the changi...

Department of Cataclysm

You all may be familiar with the proverb that "we all are students throughout our life." I have written an article, "An Ideal Guru" an year ago. Since I respect the teaching profession and also because of my good memorable experience, I wrote that article with pride. I was also in a great arrogance in getting the best teachers not only in my academic life but also in my real life. Now I've completed my PG in Government Engineering College, Wayanad. GEC Wayanad... This is the field from where I learned " what not to be...how not to be.... " Years ago, I believed that a great teacher is the one who make the classroom a playground and who give little homework. My perspective changes as years pass. Now I believe that a teacher along with maintaining his/her professionalism, should definitely have a great character, behavior and attitude. Moreover, he/she should be a good listener. I joined in GECW on September 2014. On the very first day, I met m...
