In democracy at least you can calculate how much the elected representatives are taking away.

But if it is autocracy or theocracy, there is will be no account of anything.

Citizens will be reduced to work, eat and make love level.

It doesn't mean that I support all these atrocities.

With all its problems, democracy is great. We the people are supposed to fight against the problems within democracy. Instead of voting for the same party for the entire life time, should show open mind to give a chance to new thoughts. Ballet is our weapon. Support people who come forward for a change. Do not buy sugar quoted, nice to hear opinions like we need only two party in the country, Congress and BJP. These people got their chances already and could not prove any difference in terms of governance as well as between themselves; it includes the left parties as well. This nation should give a chance for the AAP and Arvind Kagriwal, I think.

It is my opinion. You can agree or disagree.

John

"വൈകുന്നേരം കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങള്‍ക്കു തീറ്റയുമായെത്തിയ അമ്മക്കിളി കണ്ടത് മരച്ചുവട്ടില്‍ വേടന്റെ കെണിയില്‍ വീണ മക്കളെയാണ്. അമ്മക്കിളി കരഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ട് കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളുടെ സമീപം ചെന്ന് വിലപിച്ചു. ആ നിമിഷം വേടന്‍ അതിനേയും പിടികൂടി.
കുറേക്കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോള്‍ ആണ്‍കിളി എത്തി. മക്കളുടേയും ഭാര്യയുടേയും ദുഃസ്ഥിതികണ്ട് ആണ്‍കിളിയുടെ ഹൃദയം തകര്‍ന്നു. അവര്‍ വിലപിച്ചു. "പ്രിയതമയും മക്കളും നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട ഞാനെന്തിന് ഇനി ജീവിക്കണം? ഒരുവന്റെ ജീവിതം സ്വര്‍ഗമാകുന്നത് സുന്ദരിയും സുശീലയുമായ ഭാര്യയും മക്കളും കൂടിയാണ്." ഇങ്ങനെ വിലപിച്ച് ആണ്‍കിളി വേടന്റെ കെണിയില്‍ സ്വയം ചെന്ന് ചാടി. ഇന്നത്തെ കാര്യം കുശാല്‍ എന്നു കരുതി വേടന്‍ ആ പക്ഷികുടുംബവുമായി യാത്രയായി."
ഭാഗവതത്തിലെ ഒരു കഥയാണിത്. അതി സ്നേഹം അപകടവും മണ്ടത്തരവുമാണെന്ന് ഭാഗവതം മുന്നറിയിപ്പ് നല്കുന്നു.
കുട്ടിക്കോ, ഭാര്യക്കോ ഒരപകടം പറ്റിയെന്ന് കരുതുക. ഗൃഹനാഥന്‍ സ്നേഹം മൂലം കരഞ്ഞുതളര്‍ന്ന് വീണാലോ. അപകടം പറ്റിയവരുടെ ഭാവിയും കൂടി അപകടത്തിലാകും. മറിച്ച് സാഹചര്യം ഉള്‍ക്കൊണ്ട്, ഭാര്യയേയും മക്കളേയും ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ എത്തിക്കുകയല്ലേ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത്.
ഭാര്യയോടും മക്കളോടുമുള്ള അതിസ്നേഹം മൂലം അവരെ രക്ഷപ്പെടുത്താനുള്ള ഉപായം ആലോചിക്കുക കൂടി ചെയ്യാതെ ആണ്‍ കിളി സ്വയം കുരുതി കൊടുത്തു. ഒരുതരത്തിലുള്ള ആത്മഹത്യയാണത്. അതു കൊണ്ട് ഭാഗവതം പറയുന്നു. അതിസ്നേഹം ദുര്‍ബ്ബലതയാണ്, സ്വാര്‍ത്ഥതയുടെ മറ്റൊരു മുഖമാണ്. അത് സ്നേഹമല്ല. ശരിയായ സ്നേഹം ആത്മശക്തി വര്‍ദ്ധിപ്പിക്കും.

[www.keralites.net] CCTV Cameras to Monitor Mecca Pilgrims

 

Saudi Arabia Installs 1,700 CCTV Cameras to Monitor Mecca Pilgrims

 Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
Authorities in Saudi Arabia have installed 1,700 CCTV cameras in Mecca to monitor the millions of pilgrims visiting the holy city this month.
 
More than one million pilgrims will visit Mecca from 13 October for the Hajj, with hundreds of thousands already in Saudi Arabia.
The five-day pilgrimage is the largest gathering of Muslims in the world. Able-bodied Muslims who can afford to do so must carry out Hajj at least once in their lifetimes.
Pilgrims walk from Mecca to Mina to the Plain of Arafat, where they stand near the Mount of Mercy to ask Allah for forgiveness.
This year, visitor numbers have been reduced because of the ongoing construction of the Haram Mosque. The Saudi Arabian government announced a 20% reduction in pilgrim numbers from each country earlier this year.
 
Miksib Al-Omairi, assistant head of operations at Mecca's civil defence brigade, told the Saudi Gazette that the kingdom has upped its security ahead of this year's Hajj.

Mohammed Bin Abdullah Al-Qarni, director general of Civil Defence, told the Al-Madinah newspaper that improved security will allow them to evacuate pilgrims more efficiently in an emergency.
He also said the security would allow them to monitor transport and accommodation being provided.
"Thanks to the project, we can make emergency plans to deal with any accident that may take place at pilgrims' accommodation," he said.
"We will also be able to monitor any violations that may be committed by the Tawafa establishments."
The 1,700 cameras have been installed all around Mecca. There is also an information system that allows security officials to pinpoint the exact location of a call, while a wireless system means better communication with government bodies.
Abdullah Al-Qarsh, head of safety, said that safety patrols have been increased to monitor all public areas.
