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.

Coffee please...

Coffee please... This is the perfect start for our day. In fact, drinking coffee has become so addictive that some people can't get through the day without slurping atleast a cup of coffee in the morning and evening. The History of Coffee It is in the Ethiopian highlands, where the legend of Kaldi, originated, the coffee trees. It is said that he discovered coffee after noticing that his goats, upon eating berries from a certain tree, became so spirited that they did not want to sleep at night.  Kaldi dutifully reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery who made a drink with the berries and discovered that it kept him alert for the long hours of evening prayer.  Soon the abbot had shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery, and ever so slowly knowledge of the energizing effects of the berries began to spread.  As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, it began a journey which would spread its reputation across ...

An Era of Reading Books

The shelves once filled with books are now empty. The parents or grandparents showing books with colorful pictures and telling them stories was a common scene during our childhood. Children were interested in reading rather than playing video games. The parents (especially father) were used to take us to public libraries when they have free time. I still remember that my father used to take me to the library near by on every Saturday. Reading books by sitting on the bench in front of the library was such a nice experience. According to Marcus Tullius Cicero, a room without books is like a body without a soul. The smell of old paper has not yet gone from my mind.  By reading books, we will be imagining all parts of the story, poem or whatever it is. While imagining, we are using both our mind and brain which is the most advantage of reading books. The ability of creative thinking is getting developed by reading books.  Last year while I am doing my PG, we (me and...

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,...
