Whatsapp: The ballooning effect

"Hey...I'll whatsapp you..."
This dialog is quite familiar now a days not only among youth but also among children and even senior citizens. The youth rushing into their rooms or making a hurry to open their smart phones and change their profile pic in facebook are disappearing with the majestic entry of whatsapp. Whatsapp together with the smart phones are becoming a dominant culture in Kerala. You all may have heard the news that the Kerala Police has introduced a whatsapp helpline for the public. On seeing such a news I was surprised on the way by which the whatsapp have widened its influence. Utilizing the ubiquitous social media, the police dept in many Indian states is supporting the use of whatsapp to mobilize surveillance. In Kerala, the system was first introduced in Trivandrum and Kochi. I am glad to see that its ambit has now been expanded to Thrissur also. The system is in such a way that the information will be conveyed straight to the police control room. The control room will then direct the concerned police officers through the wireless.     

Thus the whatsapp, in the beginning put its feet among the youth and gradually being an inevitable element in both the social and cultural surroundings, it made such a drastic change in the society. Whatsapp is the biggest messaging app in the world. The main reason behind this is the safety in private chatting. The adoption of whatsapp even by the most public related detective department shows that the world is getting controlled by the technology. Soon the world will be within the palms of technology.

    A few days ago the police dept was quite often in the news for very wrong reasons. In such a circumstance, this is a propitious step even though they are on a long road ahead. This befitting decision has helped the common man to make his life easier. The complaints which are ensnared in the red tape may disappear by this righteous movement. Thus the police department along with the technology, a coercive arm of the state is now on the right track complying with the law and respecting the human rights.

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...

The Light Behind The Darkness

Behind every darkness, there is a light. But most people in our society  don't  want to bring that light to ignore the darkness. Almost 95% of the people are narrow minded. They are not even making an attempt to see what the darkness is and what the root cause of that is. Many people say that “if there is light, then there is darkness. Its fate…”.  But I believe that this is an utter nonsense. All human beings have the ability to lighten up this world. If each and every one of tries to understand this, then the darkness can be ameliorated. All human beings are responsible for the darkness. Don't you ever think about those who are living in the darkness and whose dreams have fed up in that deep hollow? All of us have to think about this. Otherwise we will be the losers in the life from the perspective of the society, from the perspective of the world and even from the perspective of this sacred nature. Those people in such a dark world will be mentally weakened. So,...
