A POEM ON ROAD SAFETY

Dedicating this poem to Kerala Journalist Basheer killed in road accident.

Very Touching Poem about  drunk & drive...........

 I didn't drink and drive,BUT....

 I went to a party Mom,
 I remembered what you said.
 You told me not to drink, Mom,
 So I drank soda instead.

 I really felt proud inside, Mom,
 The way you said I would.
 I didn't drink and drive, Mom,
 Even though the others said I should.

 I know I did the right thing, Mom,
 I know you are always right.
 Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
 As everyone is driving out of sight.

 As I got into my car, Mom,
 I knew I'd get home in one piece.
 Because of the way you raised me,
 So responsible and sweet..

 I started to drive away, Mom,
 But as I pulled out into the road,
 The other car didn't see me, Mom,
 And hit me like a load.

 As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
 I hear the policeman say,
 "The other guy is drunk," Mom,
 And now I'm the one who will pay.

 I'm lying here dying, Mom....
 I wish you'd get here soon.
 How could this happen to me, Mom?
 My life just burst like a balloon..

 There is blood all around me, Mom,
 And most of it is mine.
 I hear the medic say, Mom,
 I'll die in a short time.

 I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
 I swear I didn't drink.
 It was the others, Mom.
 The others didn't think.

 He was probably at the same party as I.
 The only difference is, he drank
 And I will die.

 Why do people drink, Mom?
 It can ruin your whole life.
 I'm feeling sharp pains now.
 Pains just like a knife.

 The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
 And I don't think it's fair.
 I'm lying here dying
 And all he can do is stare.

 Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
 Tell Daddy to be brave.
 And when I go to heaven, Mom,
 Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.

 Someone should have told him, Mom,
 Not to drink and drive.
 If only they had told him, Mom,
 I would still be alive.

 My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
 I'm becoming very scared.
 Please don't cry for me, Mom.
 When I needed you, you were always there.

 I have one last question, Mom.
 Before I say good bye.
 I didn't drink and drive,
 So why am I the one to die?*

 Someone took the effort to write this poem. So please, forward this
 to as many people as you can. And see if we can get a chain going
 around the world that will make people understand that don't mix drinking
 and driving.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT-DEBATE LAST DATE 15/09/2019

     WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE APPOINTED AS DRIVERS IN GOVERNMENT VEHICLES.

  WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE APPOINTED AS DRIVERS in  government departments and state owned entities in Kerala ,thanks to a major policy decision by the govt of Kerala.The decision which aims at gender equality was taken by a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers in Kerala . Existing laws would be amended in this regard.
            One appointment of a female driver was made in the KSRTC in 2013.Except that women have largely been excluded from driver posts.There are a few females in the state driving private buses,online taxis and auto rickshaws .There is an all women bus service run by the Thrissur District Vanitha Transport Cooperative Society.
A leading official with the KSRTC said that this was not however part of discrimination.Females generally do not come forward to become drivers.In fact there is no reservation for driver posts for males in the KSRTC.( source :The New Indian Express)

THE WOMAN WHO PRAYED FOR BLUE EYES


US author Toni Morrison(NOBEL PRIZE WINNER ) has died at the age of 88.(LITERATURE DIGEST CKR O7O82019)

Morrison attended Howard University in Washington DC from 1949-1953. Americans at a bookshop near her old university reflect on what she meant to them.


Morrison once said: "We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives."

Her narratives and mesmerising prose have made an indelible mark on our culture. Her novels command and demand our attention.

"They are canonical works, and more importantly, they are books that remain beloved by readers."

Her fiction
The Bluest Eye, 1970
Sula, 1973
Song of Solomon, 1977
Tar Baby, 1981
Beloved, 1987
Jazz, 1992
Paradise, 1997
Love, 2003
A Mercy, 2008
Home, 2012
God Help the Child, 2015
When she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy described her as an author "who in novels characterised by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality"
(INPUTS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES )







In 1996 she was honoured with the National Book Foundation's Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters,

In 2012, President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Morrison was also the first female African-American editor at Random House, where she had the role from 1967 to 1983.

She championed writers of colour and published the likes of Gayl Jones, Henry Dumas, Muhammad Ali and Angela Davis, among others.

Morrison also taught at Princeton University.
