[www.keralites.net] Pongal greetings

 

WISH U ALL HAPPY PONGAL!

The harvest festival, called Sankranth in Andhra Pradesh and Pongal in Tamilnadu which are southern states in India, is celebrated over three days depending on the region by Hindus. It is a traditional occasion for showing gratitude to nature, for celebrating the life cycles that give us grain. The first day is celebrated as Bhogi festival in honor of Lord Indra, for the abundance of harvest, thereby bringing plenty of prosperity to the land.

Another ritual observed on early morning of this day is Bhogi Mantalu,(Bonfire) when useless household articles are thrown into a fire made of wood and cow-dung cakes which practice is believed to bring home new articles. The second day is the Makara sankramana day when the Sun transits in Makara rashi (orCapricorn).The third day is referred as Kanuma festival. On this day bulls are worshipped which play prime role in cultivation. kite flying is also performed during the festival season.

Raman's family.

[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world.

 

Q: What is the first thing the French army teaches at basic training?

A: How to surrender in at least 10 languages.

(Me: To those who don't get correct import of the joke – The French aren't much known for their valour or bravery, and there are jokes galore at abject manner they surrendered to the Germans in WW II)

News of our times…

UN Women chief seeks justice for Nirbhaya

UN Women chief Michelle Bachelet has demanded punishment of culprits of the horrific gangrape and murder of 23-year-old Delhi girl, saying a strong message must be sent that violence against women will not be accepted.

(Me: Yet another stinging indictment of our law-enforcement machinery including justice delivery system. When the sentence on Kasab was carried out, all our union and statement ministers patted on their back – to no one's amusement and amazement - that we have shown to the world that our laws offer all judicial facilities to a even a hardened criminal. Now the entire world condemning us for awful laws. As any discerning or anyone with common sense knows only too well, a justice-dispensing system and fairplay isn't all about offering ostentatious facilities to an accused to go on a fishing expedition at taxpayers' money but to make sure that justice is handed out to all expeditiously. What we desperately need is a vastly simplified system that delivers justice fast at least cost, considering our scarce financial resources. The worthy Khatju recently castigated the lawyers' fraternity when it refused to take up the case of the Nirbhaya accused. What one would like to know is, should the taxpayers' money be spent at all on such an open-and-shut case in the name of fairplay or satisfy someone's whims and fancies?).

Mindchow

All tyranny needs to get a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Health tips.

Pearl millet (bajra) contains phytic acid and niacin, which helps lower cholesterol levels.

Re: [www.keralites.net] ബഹുമാനപ്പെട്ട മുഖ്യമന്ത്രി സാര്‍ .....

 

അതെ വളരെ നല്ല നിര്‍ദ്ദേശം. ഞങ്ങള്‍ പ്രവാസികള്‍ ഉണ്ണുന്ന ചോരിനോട് നന്ദി കാണിക്കുന്നവരാണ്.ജോലി ചെയ്യാതെ ശമ്പളം പറ്റാന്‍ ഞങ്ങള്ക് കഴിയില്ല. ഒരു മണിക്കൂര്‍ കൊണ്ട് തീര്കേണ്ട ജോലി ഒരു ദിവസം വരെ നീട്ടി കൊണ്ട് പോകുന്ന അലസത ഞങ്ങള്കില്ല. കേരളത്തില്‍ ഒരു സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജോലി കിട്ടുക എന്നുള്ളത് ഞങ്ങള്‍ പ്രവാസികളെ സംബന്ടിച്ചിടത്തോളം ഒരു നിധി കിട്ടുന്ന പോലെയാണ്.സമരം ചെയ്യുന്നവരെ മുഴുവന്‍ പിരിച്ചുവിട്ട് പ്രവാസികളില്‍ യോഗ്യത ഉള്ളവരെ നിയമിക്കൂ.
