How prophetical Kalam was !

How prophetical Kalam was ! Read again from the above article ⬆️

" Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government."

Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians,

I am echoing J F Kennedy’s words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..

“ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY”

Lets do what India needs from us.

A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ON DEATH PENALTY

A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ON DEATH PENALTY

*************************************************

S :When all the world is desperately trying to save each and every single human life, four men are going to gallows tomorrow. At least their execution must be postponed, if not commuted, considering the panic around the world. 

Its ironical that government machinery work day in and out to save human life during this time of corona and the same machinery work hard to take human life. The heinous crime they committed demands severe punishments, though not death.

C : If you were Nirbhay's father ........;If Nirbhaya were your daughter .......;.If your daughter were Nirbhaya ............... we spectators

M: YES( to C)

G :(to C )that's not the only thing-what if your brother was the criminal;your son was the criminal. 

The one who actually made the worst attack which led to her death for Scot free as he is juvenile.

These were criminals and should be punished but death penalty for these while the main culprit goes Scot free. I am not sure.

C : (The) Juvenile must be given the same punishment.We do demand that modification in penal      code.His privilege should not be  other culprits' blessing

S:(on C's first statement )This is an emotional reaction... but my point is the irony in governments preparedness to save lives and take lives..... emotionally, I may agree with capital punishment, but justifying a crime with another crime can never be a solution.

M :Punishment cannot be termed as crime.

S :It is, Madam.

M2:( SMILING )You don't want to Kill Corona virus ?

S: ( SMILES TOO )

C:Punishment is given to the criminals not to the innocents.So it is never a crime.....

S:I am not against punishments.. But capital punishment..

C:Where it is needed, it must be ......

M:This has nothing to do with the crime these criminals had so heinously committed.

S:Yes.. But our judiciary bends its nerves before the rich and powerful people. (The)

Unnav MLA gets only a life term for rape and murder of many.

J:Did those criminals  listen to her pleas, when she was writhing in pain?did they stop assaulting her?if the answer is no,they deserve no sympathy.

S:I do agree.. The crime demands severe punishments. But death penalty is a big issue.

M: (To J )  I agree wholeheartedly

      (To S)  Only in India!!!

S2: They should be hanged as early as possible.

C : (The ) MLA must be given the same ..... Unfortunately..... Any how (the )MLA's luck should not be  a blessing to other culprits . Let's pray for their souls .Good night

J : How many times they approached the apex court for mercy.Do they know the meaning of mercy?

M: They have made a mockery of the judiciary for long, enough is enough.

S3: Their humanity had already died. So it is meaningless to continue with a rotten soul in the mortal body. Needless to empathise with them.

As the name NIRBHAYA suggests, she was a fearless girl. 

I : (Appluads  J on her first statement)

S3:But those fearless (fearless of punishment) anthropophagists took her vicinity and mauled her into pieces. Such  fearless girls should be able to walk on this bountiful Earth in future too. It would be then only would Nirbhaya's soul get realization.

S4:Death penalty to the brutal murderers is also an effort of the govt. to save the lives and pride of millions ..

G (from USA): This was more  because the media celebrated the case.

 Same thing happened to Harvey Weinstein case. He got 23 years. Normally, a person should have got 6 years for that. But again, media celebrated it.

 ( TO S3 )This is Utopia - which is never the case in real life. The nature is not politically correct.

S: ( TO G ) TRUE.

A WRITE UP ON COVID 19 - ASWATHY MATTHEW

SILENCE.... AND  *SLEEPLESS  NIGHTS     BY ASWATHY MATHEW               
        ~~~~
The early weeks of february 2020 witnessed and experienced the dreadful appearance and the severe impact of the *COVID 19* virus in human beings . People all around the world knew about the  SARS ,MERS,EBOLA and the NIPAH viruses but the COVID 19 virus was much more terrifying than the rest . The people were dumb-struck ,frightened and seemed to be under the clutches of the severe attack of the deadly corona virus .

It has been a very very long time since I felt the terrible silence in the streets,  the silence in the   market places ,the silence in the public places and the silence in the religious institutions . Why is this silence so deadly ?

If a single deadly virus ......... COVID19 can creep into this world and destroy it completely , then the world will stand united and will strongly fight for this common cause . So at times such dangerous viruses become a necessity . These viruses can keep a check on the pride of humanity .

Today the  touch and  feel of this deadly virus could be spotted everywhere . COVID 19 crept stealthly into the schools ,colleges,temples, churches, beauty parlours ,airports,offices and what not?....... Mobiles around the world were over loaded and pregnant with the   images,videos and messages of the COVID19 . All the Whatsap messages,FB posts ,Twitter tweats and  Instagram pics were all being controlled by one virus the CORONA . We could see the corona cookies ,corona sarees,corona jewellery ,corona masks everywhere.Also we could see the skillfull  ways of propagating awareness against the spread of corona virus by singing songs and making remarkable speeches . People found it fantastic and awesome to hear teenagers singing songs with strong lyrics about the virus . The creativity and composition was  brilliant and it touched the mind and soul of humanity .Teenagers ,kids and elders all united in this venture to produce remarkable results .

Precautions ,suggestions and advices came from througout the world to control this global pandemic . At first it was only a small outbreak in the city of Wuhan in China . Slowly it became a serious epidemic that began to spread to the near by countries. People who travelled to and from China and other COVID19 infected countries were to be quarantined .Everyone who were Infected with COVID 19 were kept under isolation inorder to prevent the virus from spreading. But few people were found  coughing and sneezing and were left alone to die in the streets . Dead bodies that were tightly packed in long black sheets were piled up in  several rooms. Tears flew down my cheeks, when I understood that there was no one to pay them their last tributes .

Miraculous healings and fasting prayers disappeared and vanished into thin air The priest ordered the congregation to stay in there homes and pray. churches were shutdown    . We could see the so -called pastors,astrologers and the clergy fleeing away from the dreadful corona virus.So we need such people?

Let us all awake ,arise and unite to fight this virus and let us make this world a better place to live in. This deadly virus has definitely taught us the value of friendship ,love and family relationships.We also learned the fact that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Hoping and praying that the powerful and divine forces of nature would disentangle us from this virus and enrich our civic sense.


 A big salute to all my readers .

12 ENGLISH QUESTION PAPER MARCH 2020

12 ENGLISH QUESTION PAPER MARCH 2020

IMAGE FILES *REGRET FOR THE POOR QUALITY

ANSWERS ( WILL BE UPLOADED SOON )

COMMENTS ON THE QP (COLLECTED FROM WHATSAPP GROUPS)
 Today's English exam was a piece of cake for the students-For the D+ students and the A+ aspirants as well.; Ridiculously easy- SURESH KUMAR

Today is about equal rights

Today is NOT International Women's Day. It is not a day about diamond jewellery and spa sessions. It is not about pink bunnies and dark chocolate.

8th March is the International WORKING Women's Day (IWWD). Yes, that is the complete phrase.
The day was marked to commemorate the anniversary of the strike by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and is celebrated in recognition of a woman's economic, political and social rights.

 The 8th of March symbolises the WORKING WOMEN'S STRUGGLE for the "Bread and Roses" – bread representing the economic struggle, and roses representing the cultural struggle.
Today is about equal rights, freedom of expression, freedom to earn and use our money, freedom to study, freedom to choose what we want to wear, who we want to love, how we want to live.
Today is about the right to education, the right to employment, the right over safe public spaces, the right over our bodies and our lives.

You can take your pink bunnies and dark chocolate and red roses and keep them where the sun doesn't shine.
