The recent environmental trend of extremities is not something exclusive to Kerala alone - our country experiences this in almost all regions. On August 8 at Puthumala in Wayanad district a huge stretch of hill over-saturated broke free and rumbled down. This buried an entire village along its path and a beautiful valley. 17 people lost their lives in this disaster. On the same day itself a similar tragedy took place at Kavalappara where a hillside of 10 acres which was soaked in rain with mud or clay came down with huge boulders (large rocks), trees branches and buildings in a similar fashion. According to reports, over 20 families were buried under 50 feet of debris (the remains of s...

Yet, sadly today's education system has an unhealthy tendency to focus only on the academic sides. In order to change this scenario the government and the department of Education have come up with many innovative programs for the youth. Haritha Keralam, Organic Farming, Biodiversity Park and Swatch Bharat and NSS are some of them. Students who engage in these programs gradually develop respect for manual work which will greatly influence their future lives. Students come to know that the life of a farmer, a scavenger, a cobbler and that of a janitor is not below to any other vocation. Just as a doctor, a teacher, an engineer they also contribute their own part to the building up of a strong nation. Therefore we can uneq...

His book The  Kingdom of God is within You greatly shaped Gandhiji’s later philosophy.   Independent thinking, profound morality and truthfulness of this book attracted Gandhiji a great deal. He then tried to inculcate the ideas of   his favorite writer Tolstoy in a farm he settled at South Africa. It was founded in 1910. The main aim of the farm was ” the all-round development of the boys and girls”.                   Gandhiji introduced vocational training as part of this farm. The schedule of the camp was in the manner that eight hours were devoted for manual labor and two hours for book lea...

It is a place where one fulfills one's unfulfilled wishes and desires. These unfulfilled wishes and desires are part of one's dreams. One cherishes (be fond of) such dreams and tries to escape from the hard realities of the present world.      Sarojini Naidu, who is known by the sobriquet the nightingale of India' makes such an attempt to escape to a heaven like perfect place where she will not have to worry about anything. She then creates a world where she can enjoy Truth, Love and Peace in their most pure forms. Although the poem was written during the turbulent (troublesome) years of India's independence when violence, untouchability, casteism, superstitions and many social evils were prominent, it is relevant even today.      ...

The Last Leaf can be considered as one of the masterpieces by O Henry. It is a beautiful tale of friendship, hope and survival.                                                      The story is taken from the lives of two young women artists, Johnsy and Sue. Their interests in the field of art united them at Greenwich Village, a Bohemian neighborhood in New York city. They had their studio at the top of an old three storey-brick house. One day, as the story w...

His system of education, unlike the other prominent systems gave more importance to character building, self development and self sufficiency. The organizations like NSS were started getting inspired from Gandhian vocational education and service. By learning some useful manual vocation a person increases his prospects in the job sector.      In today's society there is a general tendency to look down upon blue collar jobs, jobs that require physical effort and look up to white collar jobs. The job of a hawker (someone who travels about selling his wares) or that of a peddler does not come below in rank to that of a doctor's or of an engineer's. In today's flimsy (unstable) economic situation it is always better to know some ski...
