What to say? All through the last two months the team saved me from my valuable TV time with display on fiield and off. Honestly, I have never been a big fan of you for your four lettered usages, but today, just take time to salute you man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;"When you are winning you can stay on tour for five months. You won't mind a single day, but when you are not doing well as a team it is really difficult to hold yourself together mentally". That was his post match comment. Sidharth Monga wrote it rightly at cricinfo "There is something dangerous about those who have lost it all."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, as mad cricket fans, have&amp;nbsp;lot to look forward if you play like this. Well done, but as usual, we all put ourselves and love to be in situations to be at the mercy of others, or their deeds to move ahead. I am not different and my&amp;nbsp;national cricket team too.&amp;nbsp;No choice other than to wait&amp;nbsp;till Australia play Sri Lanka and hopefully&amp;nbsp;win over them in the next match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-163600453688414398?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/163600453688414398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/after-all-we-love-cricket-vow-virat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/163600453688414398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/163600453688414398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/after-all-we-love-cricket-vow-virat.html' title='After all, we love cricket - Vow Virat !'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-1535210111098948025</id><published>2012-02-29T05:08:00.003+04:00</published><updated>2012-03-06T22:27:26.944+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abu Dhabi - Events'/><title type='text'>ISC election - 8th March 2012 - vote for Hon.

The book, written in Arabic and English, serves as a reminder that "there are many breeds of dogs of an aggressive nature and dangerous to public safety". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Although in distribution since 2008, the booklet has gathered renewed interest since February 3 incident. Titled Vicious Dog Breeds, the book lists dog breeds banned from importation into Dubai; breeds banned from being kept in apartments and shared accommodation and the reasons behind the ban. &lt;/div&gt;There have been over 150 cases of dog bites and attacks investigated by the veterinary services section in Dubai Municipality from 2007 to the end of 2010. &lt;br /&gt;However, just as important is the safety of the animals. &lt;br /&gt;According to information from Dubai Municipality, "most of these [banned] breeds are used for wrestling and fighting, which is considered a violation of animal welfare legislation and laws". The book states that it's important to provide proper space to these animals to express their natural behaviour, thereby forbidding certain breeds in flats. "Maintaining the safety of animals also involves protecting the animals from being used as a target for hitting by arrows, or enjoying dog wrestling, as our Prophet (PBUH) forbade us in so many traditions." &lt;br /&gt;Residents, meanwhile, have mixed opinions. Linda Fernando, a Mirdif pet owner, says that although she has nothing against any breed of dog, she leans towards the belief that not all breeds make ideal pets. "I would like to know why people feel the need to have these specific breeds in their homes. They may be cute and cuddly for a little while, but just as suddenly they may also go the opposite way. In countries such as New Zealand and Australia, if you do somehow own one of these breeds, it is compulsory to have them sterilised and muzzled at all times when out in public. Anyone who gets caught with a dangerous dog left unmuzzled would be taken to court," she says. &lt;br /&gt;Storme W, a Jumeirah resident, who shares her home with two American Staffordshire terriers, says, "My Staffies aren't dangerous. They wouldn't harm a fly, but if the law says they need to be muzzled in public, then muzzled they will be. However, if I'm just taking my two girls out for a walk, I won't muzzle them. We'll go to a quiet area, away from the public. When we went to the dog show earlier this month, both my dogs had on a soft muzzle which wouldn't hurt them. But as to why they are banned breeds, I'll never understand." &lt;br /&gt;UK dog behaviourist and Abu Dhabi expat Jane Sigsworth said: "Back in the UK, we have a saying about dogs: Deeds, not breeds. What that means is that a dog should be judged on its own merit and individuality, not on its breed," she says. "Just because two dogs share a breed does not necessarily mean they share a behaviour." &lt;br /&gt;Despite the banning of certain breeds, the number of annual dog bites has not decreased. "Banning breeds doesn't always work," says Sigsworth. "What we need is to educate people. Dog owners need to learn their pet's language. Most dogs would never bite out of the blue, they always give out warning signals which people fail to read. Attacks could be prevented if people were more educated about their dogs," said Sigsworth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My comments as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="timestamp"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Added 15:46 February 23, 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;I was a participant at the Terry Fox Run that happened at Abu Dhabi Corniche on 17th. I witnessed some bringing along their pet dogs, some of them looking fierce in size and expressions. In the wake of the recent incident that happened at the Dog Show in Dubai, I address a concern: should we allow pet dogs to be brought to public events of this magnitude, where large gathering, including toddlers, children and all others are present. If by chance another dog pass by and intimidate or even due to any other reason, the dog, which is even though on a leash get intimidated, the scene would turn nasty. I love dogs, do have them back home with proper care and exercise and control, and not am against having them as our favorite pet. However, on a public gathering of this size, I raise concern whether they should be allowed in by authorities who organise them or even by public authorities as a standard restriction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="cite"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Ramesh Menon, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read it in original, please visit &lt;a href="http://gulfnews.com/life-style/pets/pet-alert-vicious-dogs-brought-to-book-1.985009" target="_blank"&gt;GULF NEWS&lt;/a&gt; online.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-4308188708825625539?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/4308188708825625539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/pet-alert-vicious-dogs-brought-to-book.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4308188708825625539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4308188708825625539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/pet-alert-vicious-dogs-brought-to-book.html' title='Pet alert: Vicious dogs brought to book'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-1273968408506717861</id><published>2012-02-23T17:39:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2012-02-23T17:39:22.714+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks and writes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HSE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TQM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks'/><title type='text'>Campaign - Clean up your medicine chest</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Campaign - Clean up your medicine chest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-60N1KmTt9a8/TnLnYiCCuOI/AAAAAAAAOa4/HJ_6YUUltdI/s1600/16+09+2011+-+used+medicines.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-60N1KmTt9a8/TnLnYiCCuOI/AAAAAAAAOa4/HJ_6YUUltdI/s320/16+09+2011+-+used+medicines.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was alarmed by the unused medicines lying at&amp;nbsp;the medicine chest at&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;home.

ഇത്രയും വര്‍ഷങ്ങള്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടും ആ രണ്ടു വിയോഗങ്ങളും ഇന്നും മനസ്സില്‍ മാറാതെ കറുത്ത പാടുകലായി കിടക്കുന്നു എന്നത് നിങ്ങള്‍ മനസ്സിലാകിയാല്‍ അതിന്റെ പ്രാധാന്യം എത്രയുണ്ട് എന്ന് മനസ്സിലാവും.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഈ അടുത്ത് സ്വയം തൂങ്ങി മരണപ്പെട്ട അബുദാബിയിലെ ഒരു സാമൂഹിക പ്രവര്‍ത്തകന്റെ വിയോഗവും ഈ ലേഖനം ഇപ്പോള്‍ തന്നെ എഴുതാന്‍ എന്നെ പ്രചോതിതനാക്കി. എന്ത് കൊണ്ട് മനുഷ്യന്‍ സ്വയം ജീവിതം അവസാനിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ തീരുമാനം എടുക്കുന്നു. എവിടെ നമ്മുടെ സാംസ്കാരിക സംഘടനകള്‍? സാമൂഹ്യ പ്രവര്‍ത്തകര്‍? സുഹൃത്തുക്കള്‍? കുടുംബാംഗങ്ങള്‍?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഇന്ന് പലിശ സംഘങ്ങളും അതി ക്ര്രൂരമായി ഒരു പരിജ്ഞാനവും ഇല്ലാതെ തങ്ങളുടെ ഉപഭോക്താക്കളോട് ഫോണിലൂടെയും നേരിട്ടും കര്‍ശന വാക്കുകളും പ്രവര്‍ത്തികളും പ്രയോഗിക്കുന്നവര്‍ ഗണ്യമായി വര്‍ധിച്ചു വരുന്നതായി കാണാന്‍ കഴിയുന്നു. ഒരു നിമിഷത്തെ മനസ്സിന്റെ ചാഞ്ചല്യം മതി ഒരു ജീവന്‍ അവസാനിപ്പിക്കാന്‍. അങ്ങനെ നീച്ച മാര്‍ഗങ്ങള്‍ വാക്കുകളാലും പ്രവര്‍ത്തി കൊണ്ടും ഉപയോഗിച്ച് തങ്ങളുടെ നൈമിഷികങ്ങളായ ലക്ഷ്യങ്ങള്‍ സ്വീകരിച്ചു മനുഷ്യ ജീവന് ഒട്ടും വില കല്‍പ്പിക്കാതെ പെരുമാറി പ്രവര്‍ത്തിക്കുന്നവരെ കണ്ടെത്തി സമൂഹത്തിനു മുന്‍പില്‍ കൊണ്ടുവരേണ്ട സമയം അതിക്രമിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഗള്‍ഫ്‌ രാജ്യങ്ങളില്‍ വളര്‍ന്നു വരുന്ന ആത്മഹത്യാ പ്രവണത നിയന്ത്രിക്കാന്‍ സമൂഹത്തിനും സാമൂഹിക സംഘടനങ്ങള്‍ക്കും എന്ത് ചെയ്യാന്‍ കഴിയും എന്നാ ചോദ്യത്തോടെ ഞാന്‍ ഇനി ഒരു ജീവനും, ആത്മഹത്യയിലൂടെ ഇവിടെ നഷ്ടപ്പെടാതിരിക്കട്ടെ എന്ന് ആഗ്രഹിച്ചു കൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങളുടെ അഭിപ്രായങ്ങള്‍ ആരായുന്നു.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;രമേശ്‌ മേനോന്‍ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Saturday, 18 Feb 2012&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-7948963799656364847?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/7948963799656364847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-post_18.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/7948963799656364847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/7948963799656364847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-post_18.html' title='ആത്മഹത്യ ശാശ്വത പരിഹാരം ആണോ?'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xn0GZK4AVr8/Tz9DSJftwOI/AAAAAAAAQBw/xQXeL6wIJAQ/s72-c/suicide.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-5754179868342701259</id><published>2012-02-16T19:44:00.001+04:00</published><updated>2012-02-16T19:45:47.142+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WysiWyc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='01 Photo Speaks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks'/><title type='text'>Crystal world waiting for lips - What You See Is What You Click</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

പരിപാടിയില്‍ ലവണാസുരവധം കഥകളി അവതരിപ്പിക്കുയണ്ടായി. ഇത് നാലാം തവണയാണ് കല അബുദാബി കഥകളി യു എ യില്‍ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്‌. അബുദാബി ഇന്ത്യ സോഷ്യല്‍ സെന്ററില്‍ വച്ച് നടന്ന പരിപാടിയില്‍ ഒരു വന്‍ ജനാവലി തന്നെ പങ്കെടുത്തിരുന്നു. ഈ വരവിനോടനുബന്ധിച്ചു തിരനോട്ടം ദുബായ് ഒരു കഥകളിപദ കച്ചേരിയും ചര്‍ച്ചയും ദുബായില്‍ നടത്തുകയുണ്ടായി. അബുദാബി മലയാളി സമാജത്തിലും കഥകളി ആസ്വാധന ക്ലാസും ചര്‍ച്ചയും നടന്നു. ഈ മൂന്ന്

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM: നമസ്കാരം ഗോപി ആശാന്‍, എന്റെ കോളേജ് വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ കാലത്തിനു ശേഷം പ്രവസ്സ ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയതിനു പിന്നീട് ആശാനെയും ആശാന്റെ കളിയും കാണാന്‍ കിട്ടുന്ന ആദ്യ അവസ്സരമാണിത്. വളരെ അധികം സന്തോഷം തോന്നുന്നു. ആശാന്റെ സംഘത്തില്‍ ഉള്ളവരെ പറ്റി ഒന്ന് വിവരിക്കാമോ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: സംഗത്തില്‍ പത്തു പേരാണ് ഉള്ളത്. പ്രധാന വേഷം (ഹനുമാന്‍) ഞാന്‍ കെട്ടുന്നു. സീതയായി കലാനിലയം വിനോദ് കുമാര്‍, കുശന്‍ ആയി കാവ്യ പുഷ്പാങ്കതന്‍, ലവനായി ഐശ്വര്യാ ഗോപി, സംഗീതം കലാനിലയം രാജീവന്‍, കലാനിലയം ബാബു, ചെണ്ട കലാമണ്ഡലം ശിവദാസ്‌, മദ്ധളം കലാനിലയം പ്രകാശന്‍, ചുട്ടി ജനാര്‍ദ്ദനന്‍ എന്നിവര്‍ കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഡോക്ടര്‍ രാജീവ്‌ ഞങ്ങളുടെ അവതാരകന്‍ ആയി കൂടെ ഉണ്ട്.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM:

കലനിലയത്തില്‍ പഠിക്കുകയും തുടര്‍ന്ന് അവിടെ തന്നെ ഡിപ്ലോമയും, ബിരുദാനന്തര പഠനവും നടത്തിയതിനു ശേഷം അവിടെ അധ്യാപകനായി ചേര്‍ന്നു. മുടങ്ങാതെ ഇന്നും തുടര്‍ന്ന് പോകുന്ന അഭ്യാസ്സവും കഥകളി എന്ന കലയോടുള്ള എന്റെ അടങ്ങാത്ത ആധാരവും അഭിനിവേശവും കൊണ്ട് ഞാന്‍ ഇന്ന് ആ കലാലയത്തിലെ ഒരു മുതിര്‍ന്ന അധ്യാപകനായി വേഷം വിഭാഗത്തിന്റെ തലവനായി ജോലി നോക്കുന്നു.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:

/&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: പള്ളിപ്പുറം ഗോപലന്‍ നായര്‍, സദനം കൃഷ്ണന്‍കുട്ടി, കലാമണ്ഡലം കുട്ടന്‍, കലാനിലയം രാഘവന്‍, കലാനിലയം ഗോപലകൃഷ്ണന്‍ എന്നിവരായിരുന്നു എന്റെ ഗുരുനാഥന്മാര്‍. ചിട്ടയായ അഭ്യാസ്സവും, ഗുരുകുല വാസ സമ്പ്രദായവും കഠിനമായ പരിശീലന ക്രമങ്ങളും എന്നെ ഒരു നല്ല ശിഷ്യനും പിന്നീട് ഒരു നല്ല ഗുരുനാഥനും ആക്കി മാറ്റാന്‍ നിമിത്തമായി. ഉപരി പഠനം പദ്മഭൂഷന്‍ കലാമണ്ഡലം രാമന്‍കുട്ടി നായരുടെ കീഴില്‍ കലാമണ്ഡലം ആസ്ഥാനം ആയിട്ടായിരുന്നു.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM: ആശാന്റെ പ്രധാന വേഷങ്ങള്‍ ഏതൊക്കെയാണ്?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG :ഇതിനോടകം കഥകളിയിലെ ഒട്ടുമിക്ക പ്രധാന വേഷങ്ങള്‍ കെട്ടി ആടാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു എന്നുള്ളത് വളരെ സന്തോഷം ഉള്ള കാര്യമാണ്. എന്റെ അസ്വാധകര്‍ക്ക് വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും കാണണം എന്നുള്ള വേഷങ്ങള്‍ ഹനുമാന്‍, കീചകന്‍, ദുര്യോധനന്‍ പരശുരാമന്‍, ബ്രാഹ്മണന്‍, ഭീമന്‍, അര്‍ജുനന്‍ എന്നിവയാണ്.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: താങ്കള്‍ക്ക് ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള പുരസ്കാരങ്ങള്‍ ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: 2003 ഇല്‍, കേരള കലാമണ്ഡലം വക കഥകളിക്കു ഉള്ള സമഗ്ര സേവനത്തിനുള്ള പ്രത്യേക പുരസ്കാരം ലഭിക്കുകയുണ്ടായി. കൂടാതെ, തനിമ ഇരിങ്ങാലക്കുടയുടെ വക പുരസ്കാരവും ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മറ്റു ഒട്ടനവധി ചെറിയ പുരസ്കാരങ്ങളും ആദരവുകളും വേറെ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: താങ്കള്‍ എന്ന് മുതല്‍ ആണ് കഥകളി അഭ്യസിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയത്? പ്രധാന ശിഷ്യര്‍?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: 1980 മുതല്‍ കഥകളി പഠിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി. ആദ്യത്തെ ശിഷ്യന്‍ പ്രഭാകരന്‍ എന്ന ഒരു വിദ്ധ്യാര്‍ത്തി ആയിരുന്നു. ഇതോടകം 200 ഇല്‍ അധികം പ്രതിഭകളെ വളര്‍ത്തിയെടുക്കാന്‍ എനിക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞതില്‍ വളരെ അധികം ചാരിധാര്‍ത്ഥ്യം ഉണ്ട്. ജയന്തി, Dr. രാജീവ്‌, വിനോദ് വാര്യര്‍ എന്നിവര്‍ അവരില്‍ ചിലര്‍. ചിട്ടയായ അഭ്യാസ രീതികളും ശിഷ്യരോടുള്ള താല്‍പര്യവും അവരെ എന്നും കലയില്‍ മുന്നില്‍ തന്നെ നില്ക്കാന്‍ പര്യപ്തമാക്കുന്ന വിധത്തില്‍ വളര്‍ത്തിയെടുക്കാന്‍ കഴിയുന്നു.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Dr. R: ആശാന്റെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്ന രീതിയെ പറ്റി, ഇതിനിടയില്‍ ഞാന്‍ ഒന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു കൊള്ളട്ടെ. പൂര്‍ണ അര്‍പ്പണ മനോഭാവവും, സമര്‍പ്പണവും കൂടി ചിട്ടയും നിഷ്ഠയും കൂടിയ അദ്ധേഹത്തിന്റെ അധ്യായന രീതി എന്നും ശിഷ്യര്‍ക്ക് ആത്മ വിശ്വാസ്സവും ദൈര്യവും ക്രിയാല്‍മകതയും നല്‍കുന്നു. എത്ര കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞാലും ആ പാഠങ്ങള്‍ മനസ്സില്‍ ഉള്ളില്‍ നിറഞ്ഞു നില്‍ക്കും. ഒരു പ്രത്യക്ഷ ഉദാഹരണം ഈ സന്ദര്‍ശന വേളയില്‍ ദുബായില്‍ നടന്ന ശില്പശാലയില്‍ ഗോപി ആശാന്റെ ശിഷ്യനും ഇവിടെ ദുബായില്‍ ജോലി ഉള്ള കൃഷ്ണന്‍ ഉണ്ണി അവതരിപ്പിച്ച ചൊല്ലിയാട്ടം ഏറെ പ്രശംസ പിടിച്ചു പറ്റി. ചുരുങ്ങിയ സമയത്തിനുള്ളില്‍ ആണ് അദ്ദേഹം അതിനു തയ്യാര്‍ എടുത്തതും അവതരിപ്പിച്ചതും എങ്കിലും ആശാന്റെ ശിക്ഷണത്തില്‍ പഠിച്ച പാഠങ്ങള്‍ കാലങ്ങള്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടും മറക്കാതെ നില്‍ക്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു അദ്ധേഹത്തിന്റെ ഉള്ളില്‍.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: താങ്കള്‍ ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഉണ്ണായി വാര്യര്‍ കലനിലയത്തില്‍ എന്ത് ചെയ്യുന്നു? കഥകളിയുടെ ഇന്നത്തെ അവസ്ഥയെ പറ്റിയും കഥകളി പഠനത്തെ പറ്റിയും എന്തെകിലും ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: ഞാന്‍ ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഉണ്ണായി വാര്യര്‍ കലനിലയത്തില്‍ വേഷം വിഭാഗത്തിന്റെ തലവന്‍ ആയി പ്രവര്‍ത്തിക്കുന്നു. ഒരു കഥകളി വിദ്ധ്യാര്‍ത്തി ചുരുങ്ങിയത് രണ്ടു വര്ഷം എങ്കിലും നിരന്തരമായി അഭ്യസ്സിച്ചാല്‍ മാത്രമേ കഥകളി അരങ്ങേറ്റം നടത്താന്‍ പറ്റുകയുള്ളു. മറ്റു കലകള്‍ അങ്ങനെ അല്ല. മുന്‍പ് ഒക്കെ കാലത്ത് മൂന്നു മണിക്ക് എണീറ്റ്‌ കണ്ണ് സാധകവും ഉഴിച്ചിലും ഒക്കെ നിര്‍ബന്ധം ആയിരുന്നു. ഇന്ന് പലരും അതൊന്നും ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല. അതെ പോലെ പണ്ട് കളി ഒരു രാത്രി മുഴുവനും ഉള്ള അവതരണ രീതി ആയിരുന്നു. ഇന്ന് പോയി പോയി അത് മൂന്നും നാലും മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളില്‍ ഒതുങ്ങി ഒരു സംഷിപ്ത രൂപം മാത്രമായി ചുരുങ്ങി ഇരിക്കുന്നു. അത് കൊണ്ട് തന്നെ പദവും മേളവും ആട്ടവും വിസ്താരങ്ങള്‍ എല്ലാം തന്നെ വളരെ അധികം ഇല്ലാതായി കഴിഞ്ഞു. കുട്ടികളും മാതാപിതാക്കളും ഏറ്റവും എളുപ്പം പഠിച്ചു എടുത്തു അവതരിപ്പിക്കാവുന്ന വിദ്യകള്‍ പഠിക്കാന്‍ താല്‍പ്പര്യം കാണിക്കുന്നു.Dr. R: ഇന്നത്തെ ഗുരുക്കന്മാരില്‍ ചുരുക്കം ചിലര്‍ മാത്രമേ പഴയ സമ്പ്രദായങ്ങള്‍ തുടര്‍ന്ന് വരുന്നുള്ളൂ. അവരില്‍ ഒരാള്‍ ആണ് ഗോപി ആശാന്‍. കണ്ണ് സാധകവും, ഉഴിചില്ലും എല്ലാം അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് നിര്‍ബന്ധം. കൂടാതെ, സമയം നോക്കാതെ ഉള്ള പഠിപ്പിക്കലും. വെറുതെ അല്ല അദ്ധേഹത്തിന്റെ ശിഷ്യര്‍ എല്ലാവരും കളിയില്‍ പുരോഗതി പ്രാപിക്കുന്നത്. ഇതിനോടകം അദ്ധേഹത്തിന്റെ 10 ശിഷ്യര്‍ക്ക് കേന്ദ്ര സ്കോളര്‍ഷിപ്‌ കിട്ടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. അത് കിട്ടാന്‍ ഉള്ള എല്ലാ മാര്‍ഗ നിര്‍ദേശങ്ങളും തയ്യാറെടുപ്പുകളും എല്ലാം ആശാന്‍ മുന്നിട് വന്നു ഒപ്പം നിന്ന് ചെയ്തു കൊടുത്തത് കൊണ്ട് അവരെല്ലാം ഇന്ന് ആ സൌഭാഗ്യങ്ങള്‍ അനുഭവിക്കുന്നു.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: കഥകളിയില്‍ എന്തെകിലും നൂതനമായ ആവിഷ്കാരങ്ങള്‍ താങ്കളുടെ നേതൃത്വത്തില്‍ ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടോ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: ഉണ്ണായി വാര്യര്‍ സ്മാരക കലാനിലയത്തിന്റെ നൂതന രീതികളുടെ ഭാഗമായി വന്ദേമാതരം, അഷ്ടപദി എന്നിവ കഥകളി രൂപത്തില്‍ ആക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. കൂടാതെ, മറ്റു ഭാഷ സാഹിത്യങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്ന് മാക്ബത്ത്, ഹാംലെറ്റ്, മെര്‍ച്ചന്റ് ഓഫ് വെനിസ്സു, എന്നിവയും കഥകളി രൂപത്തിലാക്കി ഇന്ത്യയിലും വിദേശത്തും ഇപ്പോള്‍ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. അവയ്ക്ക് എല്ലാം നല്ല സ്വീകരണം ആണ് ലഭിക്കുന്നത്.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: താങ്കളുടെ കുടുംബം?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: ഭാര്യ ജയശ്രീ, നല്ല ഒരു ഭരതനാട്ട്യം, ഓട്ടംതുള്ളല്‍, കഥകളി നര്‍ത്തകി ആണ്. ഇപ്പോള്‍ ബാങ്കില്‍ ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഏക മകള്‍ ഐശ്വര്യാ ഗോപി. ഇപ്പോള്‍ സിവില്‍ എഞ്ചിനീയറിംഗ് പഠനത്തിനു ചേര്‍ന്നു. കഥകളിയില്‍ എന്റെ തന്നെ ശിഷ്യ ആണ്. വളര്‍ന്നു വരുന്ന ഒരു കലാകരി എന്ന് പറയാം.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;RM: താങ്കളുടെ ആരാധകരോട് എന്തെങ്കിലും പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് പറയാന്‍ ഉണ്ടോ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;KG: കഥകളി എന്ന കല എന്നും നില നില്‍ക്കണം എങ്കില്‍ അതില്‍ ജനങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്‌ താല്‍പര്യവും അതിനോട് പഠിക്കാന്‍ വരുന്നവര്‍ക്ക് അര്‍പ്പണ മനോഭാവവും വേണം. അവരുടെ സന്ഘ്യാ ബലം ഇപ്പോള്‍ കുറഞ്ഞു വരുന്നു. ആ പ്രവണത മാറിയെ തീരു. തിരനോട്ടം ദുബായ്, കല അബുദാബി എന്നീ സങ്കടനകള്‍ ഈ മേഖലയില്‍ സ്ലാഘനീയമായ പ്രവര്‍ത്തികള്‍ ആണ് ചെയ്യുന്നത്. ഗള്‍ഫ്‌ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലും പുറത്തും ഇങ്ങനെ ഉള്ള പ്രത്യേകിച്ചും തിരനോട്ടം ദുബായിയുടെ ആഭിമുഘ്യത്തില്‍ നടത്തുന്ന കഥകളി ആസ്വാധന അവതരണ പരിപാടികള്‍. . ഇനിയും കഥകളി കലാകാരന്മാര്‍ക്ക് കൂടുതല്‍ അവസ്സരം നല്‍കുകയും കഥകളി, കേളി, തായമ്പക എന്നിങ്ങനെയുള്ള കേരളത്തിന്റെ തനതു കലാ രൂപങ്ങള്‍ പ്രദര്‍ശിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ ഉള്ള അവസ്സരങ്ങള്‍ കൂടുതല്‍ ആയി ലഭ്യമാക്കുകയും ചെയ്യണം എന്ന അഭ്യര്‍ത്ഥന ഉണ്ട്.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0"

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;This year the Mahashivarathri is on 20th February 2012. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Let me repost an old article and a presentation named ShivaSakthi created by me marking the relevance of this day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These days, we blindly follow several different types of days, for eg: Valentines day, mothers day, fathers day, friendship day, no-smoking day and the list goes on and on. When we look at it Shivarathri is the truly traditional family day or &lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Pati-Patni&amp;nbsp;day&lt;/span&gt;, as I term it. Because, from the ancient times, devoted wife's pray and observe fast on this day for the well being of their husband and children and vice-versa, husband's observe religious rituals and prayers like chanting Rudram and chamakam to give grace and prosperity to the well being of own family and the society. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are many stories associated with Shivaratri and its origins. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One is about lord shiva drinking a poison and he held it in his throat by binding it with a snake. The throat became blue due to the poison (Thus Lord Shiva is also known as Neelakantha) and Shiva remained unharmed. In another story, it is said that the whole world was once facing destruction and the Goddess Parvati worshiped her husband Shiva to save it. Parvati named the night for the worship of Iswara by mortals Maha-Sivaratri, or the great night of Siva. After creation was complete, Parvati asked Shiva of which rituals pleased him the most. The Lord replied that the 14th night of the new moon, during the month of Maagha, is my most favourite day. It is known as Shivaratri. Parvati repeated these words to her friends, from whom the word spread over all creation. Another story is about a hunter. Lubdhaka, a poor tribal man and a devotee of Shiva, once went into the deep forests to collect firewood. At nightfall, he became lost and could not find his way home. In the darkness, Lubdhaka climbed a bel tree, and sought safety and shelter in its branches until dawn. All night, he could hear the growls of tigers and wild animals, and was too frightened to leave the tree. In order to keep himself awake, he plucked one leaf at a time from the tree and then dropped it, while chanting the name of Shiva. By sunrise, he had dropped thousands of leaves on to a Shiva lingam, which he had not seen in the darkness. Lubdhaka's all-night worship pleased Shiva. By the grace of Shiva the tigers and wild animals went away, and Lubdhaka not only survived but was rewarded with 'divine bliss'. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While most Hindu festivals are celebrated during the day, Mahashivratri is celebrated during the night and day that come just before the new moon. Each new moon is dedicated to Shiva, but Mahashivratri is especially important because it is the night when he danced the 'Tandav', his cosmic dance. It also celebrates the wedding of Shiva and Sati, the mother divine. Night represents evil, injustice, ignorance, sin, violence, and misfortune. Tradition says that Shiva, like his symbol the new moon, appeared in order to save the world from darkness and ignorance, before the world entered complete darkness. Those who observe the Mahashivratri fast only break their fast the next morning, and eat the prasad offered to Shiva. Young girls observe the fast and worship Shiva so that he may bless them with good husbands. They sing devotional songs in praise of the lord, and holy texts are chanted throughout the night. The pandits in the temples perform the puja according to the scriptures. This is done four times during the night.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dedication:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For this auspicious day, I would like to dedicate to our global forum a painting named ShivaSakthi. It is also a dedication to all the loving mother's, wife's and sisters and also to all our fellow brothers for keeping our tradition and values always high, wherever we are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I would like to also add a few words about this painting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is created purely using powerpoint tools and it was done as a result of a few minutes of quite time at a small temple near REC Chathamangalam, Calicut. On that particular monsoon evening (in 1995), it happened to be that there was no power in that area, and the darshan of the deity at the time during deeparadhana created an everlasting memory in my mind. The decoration of the Devi idol, simple and small, by the melshanti (priest) was simply superb. I added to it a similar devotion at another temple, which is Avittathur Mahadeva temple. And the result is this creation – Shivasakthi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At both these places, the time available by the melshanthi (priest)&amp;nbsp;to decorate the idols during the time the sanctum sanctorum closed for pooja, was barely 10 minutes or so. And imagine yourself the result when the doors are opened. It is the epitomisation of the ultimate sraddha (concentration), the dedication and devotion to provide us a blissful presence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Can you imagine them practising this art somewhere else? Or re-doing it, if a little more of water has been added to the chandan and kunkum or bhasmam they mix in order to create these decorations.!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are many unsung heroes and these are a few among them. And it is also my way of tribute to the many who remain within the four walls of our own religious boundaries, who do not get to watch or listen to any of the niceties which we are blessed with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No one has the patience these days, and to add ease to it, we have a wonderful creation called remote control. It makes things easy for our wandering minds to switch from one programme to another and to refrain from keeping focussed on one. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We undergo several rigorous&amp;nbsp;rituals and follow procedures for many days and ultimately visit our favourite temples and the moment we are in front of the deity, we close our eyes and fall into deep prayers. At this moment, we go back to the old thoughts, photos etc, forgetting about the opportunity to meet the real lord who is in front of us in full – paadadi kesham. And we are pushed away for someone else to do his minutes or seconds of closed eye prayers. The moment you close your eyes, you forget your objectives. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Open your eyes, look at the realities, and react to it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As the prayer song "Geet nahi, Sur nahi, phir bhi mem gavoom", in this spiritual sphere of mental peace and inner joy, the responsibility for success or failure is entirely one's own. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;God bless and have a great time sharing good thoughts and deeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ramesh Menon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;15 Feb 2012&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(originally posted in 2008)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-4604612409744324544?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/4604612409744324544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/maha-shivarathri-universal-pati-patni.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4604612409744324544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4604612409744324544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/maha-shivarathri-universal-pati-patni.html' title='Maha Shivarathri - the Universal Pati-Patni Day'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/SaJ7824afDI/AAAAAAAAI2g/p-W3qbLi7do/s72-c/Sivasakthi+by+Ramesh+Menon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-719704184032331976</id><published>2012-02-14T22:05:00.001+04:00</published><updated>2012-02-14T22:45:34.546+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Information - News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tribute'/><title type='text'>Tribute to Dr. V.

Therefore, it is a request to children to submit their works, only when they feel, they have done it in complete form with out any rush or hurry. Even if they submit there entry and feel, they could redraw, or retouch it and present it, they could resubmit as a fresh one, so that we could realise the difference, the additions and enjoy the overall aesthetic beauty of each work presented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an instinctive creative platform constantly worked on by me, and how and where the submitted works by you all reach and to what extent is unpredictable. Therefore, utilise this platform with dedication and devotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring in as many friends who has a creative talent in him or her. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow; font-family: &amp;quot;Tahoma&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Let their creativity motivate us to present better creative items each time we wish to.

I get to see and keep a controlled silence, because, I wonder, what they think about their own safety, their child's safety, others who are in the car, and on the road at the same time with them. I really do not know. Women are not exemption. Last week, while driving on Shaikh Zayed Road, I watched with awe a woman, with a fully tinted four wheel drive speeding with her child on her lap (between the door and the seat) and even more, talking on the phone. God, save us, and reach us back home safe, that is the only prayer, I have, when I drive each time from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="cite"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramesh Menon, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="cite"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="cite"&gt;To read it in original, please visit &lt;a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/traffic-transport/parents-urged-not-to-drive-with-children-on-their-laps-1.973596" target="_blank"&gt;GULF NEWS&lt;/a&gt; Online&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-8205929359719686856?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/8205929359719686856/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/parents-urged-not-to-drive-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/8205929359719686856'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/8205929359719686856'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/parents-urged-not-to-drive-with.html' title='Parents urged not to drive with children on their laps'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-5208211300768498002</id><published>2012-01-28T20:27:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T06:47:51.326+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='02 Letters to the Editor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks and writes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='01 Short Take'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='01 Mind Speaks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='02 Opinion 2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Writes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='02 Gulf Today'/><title type='text'>Plastic money - Short Take - Gulf Today dt 27.01.2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Plastic money&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O4BLV9jQ924/TyYEs4YSgbI/AAAAAAAAP8I/5wfvCffPXJ8/s1600/28-01-2012+-+Plastic+Money+-+Gulf+Today.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="108" sda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O4BLV9jQ924/TyYEs4YSgbI/AAAAAAAAP8I/5wfvCffPXJ8/s320/28-01-2012+-+Plastic+Money+-+Gulf+Today.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a good friend, who was not responding to my calls for a long time. Earlier, we used to talk daily on all matters. I was able to reach him finally and he talked to me for a few minutes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said everything was OK with him, but the tone and reply did not sound so. I wish him well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another friend of mine was also missing from regular contacts. I was worried about him, and last week I met him at a function. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He hugged me and apologised for not keeping in touch. I asked him where he was all this time. He replied, “I am a free man now.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got more anxious and asked him what happened!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continued, “I have closed all my credit cards. They were killing me day and night. Somehow, I sold off whatever I could and closed them. Now, I have peace of mind.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could feel it from the expression on his face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, he’s one who could come out of the clutches of plastic money that has destroyed several lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish others too manage to follow in his footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ramesh Menon&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To read it in original, please visit &lt;a href="http://www.gulftoday.ae/portal/abd0cd8e-3c36-44bb-89b4-4458cedc56e5.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;GULF TODAY&lt;/a&gt;

text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The plight of people is well known. Every resident of kadugodi is experiencing the difficulty in crossing the railway line. I have taken up through media.&lt;/em&gt;﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Mr. Balasubramaniam&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Its more painful for sick , old people who want to cross the railway track when so many goods trains are parked ( not sure if it is deliberately) just near the drop gates..&amp;nbsp; I cross the tracks daily and am grieved too , &amp;nbsp;to see the condition of the people... This is absolutely callous behaviour of the authorities.. If they cant construct a walk over bridge , they can at least direct the drivers to park the trains in such a way that it does not bother the citizens more..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Mr. Shuja Wani&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;The people travelling from/to Kadugodi bus station are facing insurmountable difficulties.&amp;nbsp; Parking of two goods trains across the railway gate, fencing the entry gate from Kadugodi end, digging&amp;nbsp;of drain restricting people crossing over, darkness in the night are putting people to risk of life and property while crossing the railway gate. &lt;br /&gt;Problem is greater for women carrying children, old/handicapped/sick people and those carrying luggage. This needs to be addressed quickly by railways by providing a foot over bridge.&amp;nbsp; After all people live on this side of railway gate while the bus station is placed at the other end which has no habitation at all.&amp;nbsp; Every one will agree that it is impractical for pedestrians to cross over&amp;nbsp;by using the fly over, which has become dangerous even for motorists due to darkness and displaced road dividers.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, BMTC could be approched to extend the bus routes, more particularly volvos,&amp;nbsp;to this side of railway gate.&amp;nbsp; There are several buildings and residential complexes coming up on this side and hence we could have a collective efforts.&amp;nbsp; The corporator and Legislator/ MP of this area should help us in this regard.&amp;nbsp; Could we build a movement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mr. Balasubramaniam&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;I think the priority should be for railway over bridge which affects every one and critical.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Ajiyos Yohannan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Mr. Raghuram Ch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

പറ്റിയും&amp;nbsp;അതിനെ&amp;nbsp;അതി&amp;nbsp;ജീവിക്കാന്‍&amp;nbsp;എന്തൊക്കെ&amp;nbsp;ആത്മീയമായി&amp;nbsp;ചെയ്യണം&amp;nbsp;എന്നും പറഞ്ഞു കൊടുത്തുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.&amp;nbsp;പകുതി മയക്കത്തിലായിരുന്ന ഞങ്ങള്‍ രണ്ടു പേരും അവരുടെ ശൈലി കേട്ട്&amp;nbsp;ജാഗ്രധയോടെ അവര്‍ പറയുന്നത് ശ്രദ്ധിക്കാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി. ഒന്നര മണിക്കൂറോളം അവര്‍ അവിടെ ആ രോഗിയുമായി ചിലവഴിച്ചു. അതിനു ശേഷം അവര്‍ തിരിച്ചു പോയി. പോകുന്ന പോക്കില്‍ അവര്‍ ഞങ്ങളെ രണ്ടു പേരെയും നോക്കി ചിരിച്ചു. വേദനയുന്ടെങ്കിലും അമ്മയും ചിരിക്കാന്‍ ശ്രമിച്ചു. ഞാനും തിരിച്ചു അഭിവാദനം ചെയ്തു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;അവര്‍ പോയതിനു ശേഷം കുറച്ചു നേരം ഞങ്ങള്‍ രണ്ടാളും ഒന്നും സംസാരിച്ചില്ല. അതിനു ശേഷം അമ്മ വളരെ പണിപെട്ട് പറഞ്ഞു. മോനെ എനിക്ക് വേണ്ടിയും അവരോടു ഒന്ന് നാളെ മുതല്‍ വരാന്‍ പറയുമോ. അവര്‍ പറയുന്ന പോലെ ഒക്കെ ചെയ്‌താല്‍ എനിക്കും ആശ്വാസം കിട്ടിയാലോ. &lt;br /&gt;കുറച്ചു കാലമായി കാന്‍സര്‍ രോഗവുമായി പടപൊരുതി നടക്കുന്ന അമ്മക്ക് ഇങ്ങനെ ഉള്ള കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാന്‍ ഒട്ടും താല്പര്യം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. അമ്മയുടെ ആഗ്രഹം കേട്ട ഞാന്‍ മനസ്സാ സന്തോഷിച്ചു. ഈശ്വരാ, നല്ലത് മാത്രം വരുത്തണേ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഉടനെ തന്നെ അവരുടെ ഓഫീസില്‍ ഞാന്‍ പോയി പിറ്റേ ദിവസ്സം തൊട്ടു അമ്മയ്ക്കും അവരുടെ ക്ലാസ്സ്‌ ഏര്‍പാടാക്കി. മനസ്സ് കൊണ്ട് ഞാന്‍ സന്തോഷിച്ചു. ഈശ്വരാ, ഇന്ന് അമ്മയുടെ പിറന്നാള്‍ ആണല്ലോ, അമ്മ കുറച്ചു ഊണ് കഴിച്ചു, സാമ്പാറും തൈരും കൂട്ടി, ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഇതാ, ഇങ്ങനെ ഉള്ള കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ ചെയ്യാന്‍ മനസ്സ് കൊണ്ട് ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു..&amp;nbsp;ഏതു&amp;nbsp;രോഗിക്കും വേണ്ടത് ജീവിക്കണം എന്നാ ആഗ്രഹമാണ്. അമ്മയുടെ മനസ്സില്‍ അതുണ്ടല്ലോ, ഞാന്‍ സന്തോഷിച്ചു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ആ പെണ്‍കുട്ടി പോയതും, മഴ തുരു തുരെ പെയ്യാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി..&amp;nbsp;ജനലരികില്‍&amp;nbsp;അല്ലാത്തത്&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;കൊണ്ട്, ഞങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് മഴയുടെ ശബ്ദം മാത്രമേ കേള്‍ക്കാന്‍ പറ്റുന്നുള്ളൂ. അമ്മ ആ റൂമില്‍ വന്നിട്ട് നാല് ദിവസ്സമായി. മൂന്ന് രോഗികള്‍ അതിനകം അവിടെ അടുത്ത കട്ടിലില്‍ വന്നു പോയി. ഇതിനകം ഞങ്ങളോട് പരിചയപ്പെട്ട ആ കട്ടിലിലെ രോഗി രണ്ടു കട്ടിലിനിടയില്‍&amp;nbsp;ഒരു മറയുന്ടെങ്കിലും അമ്മയോട് വിളിച്ചു പറഞ്ഞു. "&amp;nbsp;മാ ജി, ഭാരിഷ് ഭാഹാര്‍ ജ്യാധ ഹേ' ഓഫ്‌ എ സി കമത്തി കരൂം ?" മഴ പുറമേ നന്നായി പെയ്യുന്നുണ്ട്, എ സി ഓഫ്‌ ചെയ്യണോ എന്ന് അവര്‍ അമ്മയോട് ചോദിച്ചു. കാരണം, അവര്‍ക്ക് കീമോ തെറാപ്പി നടക്കുന്ന സമയം ആണ്. അപ്പോള്‍ ചൂട് കൂടുതല്‍ തോന്നിക്കുന്ന അവസ്ഥ. അമ്മക്കാണ് എങ്കില്‍ ബ്ലഡ്‌ കുറഞ്ഞു ആകെ ക്ഷീണിതയായ അവസ്ഥയും. ആ കട്ടിലിലെ രോഗി ഒരു ഡോക്ടര്‍ ആയിരുന്നു. അവര്‍ക്കറിയാമായിരുന്നു അമ്മയുടെ അവസ്ഥ, അത് കൊണ്ട് സ്നേഹപൂര്‍വ്വം ചോദിച്ചു. അമ്മയും തിരിച്ചു അവരുടെ അവസ്ഥ, ആ സമയത്ത് ചൂട് കൂടുതല്‍ തോന്നിക്കും എന്ന് അറിയാവുന്നത് കൊണ്ട്, അമ്മ കൈ കൊണ്ട് ആണ്ഗ്യം കാട്ടി, എ സി കുറക്കേണ്ട എന്ന്. ഞാന്‍ അവരോടു പറയുകയും ചെയ്തു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഒരു മണിക്കൂര്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു കാണും, അവരുടെ മരുന്ന് കയറ്റല്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു, അവരുടെ വിശ്രമവും കഴിഞ്ഞു അവര്‍ പോയി. ഞാനും അമ്മയും മാത്രമായി ആവിടെ ആ മുറിയില്‍. ഒരു&amp;nbsp;തരം&amp;nbsp;മൂകമായ&amp;nbsp;അവസ്ഥ. അങ്ങനെ പറ്റില്ലല്ലോ എന്ന് വിചാരിച്ചു ഞാന്‍ ടീവി ഓണ്‍ ചെയ്തു. പല ചാനലുകളും മാറി മാറി അവസാനം, ശ്രീ&amp;nbsp;ശങ്കര&amp;nbsp;ചാനല്‍ എത്തി. അതില്‍ ആ സമയത്ത്, ഒരു അധ്യാപകന്‍ കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് ഹനുമാന്‍ ചാലിസ്സ പഠിപ്പിച്ചു കൊടുക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;അത് കേള്‍ക്കാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയ അമ്മ എന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞു, "മോനെ എന്നെ ഇവിടെ നിന്ന് ഒന്ന് വേറെ ഏതെങ്കിലും&amp;nbsp;ആശുപത്രിയിലേക്ക്&amp;nbsp;മാറ്റമോ". അല്ലെങ്കില്‍&amp;nbsp;നമ്മള്‍ക്ക്&amp;nbsp;വീട്ടിലേക്കു&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;പോയാലോ?. ഇങ്ങനെ കിടക്കാന്‍ എനിക്ക് വയ്യ". ഞാന്‍ നിശബ്ദനായി കുറച്ചു നേരം ഇരുന്നു. അമ്മയുടെ ആ അവസ്ഥയില്‍ എന്ത് മറുപടി പറയണം എന്നറിയാതെ മനസ്സ് വിങ്ങുകയായിരുന്നു. കുറച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോള്‍ അമ്മ തന്നെ വീണ്ടും പറഞ്ഞു.. "അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ നാളെ നമുക്ക് ജനലിനരികില്‍ ഉള്ള ആ കട്ടിലിലേക്ക് മാറ്റാന്‍ പറയാം.&amp;nbsp;അവിടെ&amp;nbsp;വരുന്നവര്‍&amp;nbsp;എല്ലാം തന്നെ&amp;nbsp;അസുഖം കുറഞ്ഞു വീട്ടിലേക്കു&amp;nbsp;പെട്ടെന്ന് പോകുന്നു.&amp;nbsp;പുറത്തെ&amp;nbsp;കാറ്റും മഴയും&amp;nbsp;കാണുകയും&amp;nbsp;ചെയ്യാം".&amp;nbsp;ഞാന്‍ പതുക്കെ നെറ്റിയില്‍ തടവി കൊണ്ട് പറഞ്ഞു.. അമ്മാ, നമ്മുക്ക് നാളെ ഡോക്ടര്‍ വരുമ്പോള്‍ പറയാം. ഇവിടെ നിന്ന് പോകണം എന്ന്. ഞാന്‍ വീട്ടില്‍ കൊണ്ട് പോകാം അമ്മയെ. അത് പറയുമ്പോഴേക്കും അമ്മയുടെ ശ്വാസം വലിക്കുന്ന രീതിയില്‍ വ്യത്യാസം കണ്ടു തുടങ്ങിയിരുന്നു. ഇല്ല ഒന്നും സംഭവിക്കില്ല, ഞാന്‍ എനിക്ക് തന്നെ ധൈര്യം കൊടുത്ത് കൊണ്ട്, അമ്മയെ ആശ്വസിപ്പിച്ചു, നെറ്റിയിലും കാലിന്മേലും തടവിക്കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;അപ്പോഴേക്കും അവരുടെ&amp;nbsp;ഉള്ളില്‍&amp;nbsp;മാജിക്‌ മൌത്ത് വാഷ്‌ ഫലം ചെയ്യാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയിരുന്നു. അമ്മ പതുക്കെ മയങ്ങാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി. പിന്നെയാണ് ഞാന്‍ അറിഞ്ഞത്, അതില്‍ മയങ്ങാന്‍ ഉള്ള മരുന്നും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു എന്ന്. മയങ്ങുന്നതിനു മുന്‍പ് എന്തൊക്കെയോ പറയണം എന്നാഗ്രഹിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി, പക്ഷെ കണ്ണുകള്‍ താനേ അടഞ്ഞു പോയി. ഏകദേശം ഒരു മണിക്കൂര്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോഴേക്കും, അമ്മയുടെ ശ്വാസ്സഗതിയില്‍ മാറ്റം കണ്ട ഞാന്‍ ഉടനെ ഡോക്ടറെ വിളിച്ചു വരുത്തി..അവര്‍ക്ക് കാര്യം മനസ്സിലായി. അമ്മയെ ഐ സി യു&amp;nbsp;വിനകത്തെക്ക്&amp;nbsp;മാറ്റണം. ഇനി ഈ മുറിയില്‍ പറ്റില്ല, ഒരു ഡോക്ടറുടെ സാന്നിധ്യം ഇപ്പോഴും അമ്മക്ക് വേണം.&amp;nbsp;അദ്ദേഹം കല്പിച്ചു. ശരി, ഞാനും, സമ്മതിച്ചു. അങ്ങനെ അമ്മയെ ആ മുറിയില്‍ നിന്ന് ഐ സി യുവിലേക്കു&amp;nbsp;കൊണ്ട് പോകാന്‍ വേണ്ടി ആശുപത്രി ജീവനക്കാര്‍ വന്നു. അപ്പോഴേക്കും, ടീവിയില്‍ ആ അധ്യാപകന്‍ അന്നത്തെ പാഠം ചൊല്ലി കൊടുക്കല്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു, ആ കുട്ടികളെ കൊണ്ട് ഹനുമാന്‍ ചാലിസ്സ ചൊല്ലിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. എന്തോ, ആ അബോധാവസ്ഥയിലും അമ്മയ്ക്ക് കേള്‍ക്കാന്‍&amp;nbsp;പറ്റിയിരുന്നോ അത് എന്നറിയില്ല, അതോ&amp;nbsp;ബോധം&amp;nbsp;പോകുന്നതിനു മുന്‍പ് കേട്ട ഭാഗം, മനസ്സില്‍ ഉണര്‍ന്നു വന്നിട്ടോ&amp;nbsp;എന്നറിയില്ല, അമ്മ കൈ കൊണ്ട് പതുക്കെ തുടയില്‍ താളം പിടിക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു. ഈശ്വരാ കൈ വിടരുതേ, ഞാന്‍ ഉള്ളുരുകി പ്രാര്‍ഥിച്ചു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ആ പോയ അമ്മ, പിന്നെ ഓരോ നിമിഷവും മരണത്തിലേക്ക് അത്യധികം വേഗതയോടെ നീങ്ങി കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു. കഷ്ടം, എന്ത് കൊണ്ടോ ആ ആശുപത്രിയിലെ ഡോക്ടര്‍മാര്‍ ഞങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് പാഴ് മോഹം തന്നു കൊണ്ട്, അത് ചെയ്‌താല്‍, ശരിയാവും ഇത് ചെയ്‌താല്‍ ശരിയാവും, ഇന്ന് ഇത്ര ബ്ലഡ്‌ കൊടുക്കണം, ഇന്ന് ഡയാലിസിസ് ചെയ്യ്താല്‍&amp;nbsp;കുറയും&amp;nbsp;എന്നൊക്കെ പറഞ്ഞു, അതൊക്കെ തുടര്‍ന്നുള്ള രണ്ടു ദിവസ്സം ഞങ്ങളെ കൊണ്ട് ചെയ്യിപ്പിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു. രണ്ടാം ദിവസ്സം ഐ സി യു വില്‍ കടന്നു കണ്ട അമ്മയുടെ അവസ്ഥ കണ്ട&amp;nbsp;ഉടനെ ഞാന്‍ മനസ്സിലാക്കി അമ്മ ഞങ്ങളെ വിട്ടു ഇതിനകം തന്നെ പോയ അവസ്ഥയില്‍ ആയിരുന്നു എന്ന്. ഇനി അവിടെ അങ്ങനെ വെന്റിലെട്ടര്‍ മുഖേന അവരുടെ ജീവന്‍ നില നിറുത്തുന്നത് അവരോടു തന്നെ ഉള്ള ക്രൂരതയാവും എന്നെനിക്കു തോന്നി... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ഈശ്വരാ എങ്ങനെ പറയും ഇനി ഒന്നും ചെയ്യേണ്ടാ എന്ന്. ഭാഗ്യം, അമ്മയുടെ, ഒരു ശിഷ്യ, ആ സമയം അമ്മ ഹോസ്പിറ്റലില്‍ ആണെന്ന് അറിഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ട് അവരെ കാണാന്‍ വന്നു. മറ്റൊരു ആശുപത്രിയിലെ എമര്‍ജന്‍സി വിഭാഗം കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു ഡോക്ടര്‍ ആയിരുന്നു അവര്‍. അമ്മയെ&amp;nbsp;കണ്ടതും&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;അവര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. ഇനി ഒന്ന് ചെയ്യാന്‍ സമ്മതിക്കരുത് , അവരെ&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="6_TRN_1cm"&gt;&lt;span id="6_TRN_1cn"&gt;ക്രൂശിക്കലയിരിക്കും&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്‌താല്‍. അത് കൂടി കേട്ടപ്പോള്‍, ധൈര്യം സംഘടിപ്പിച്ചു ആ ആശുപത്രിയിലെ ഡോക്ടര്‍മാരോട് പറഞ്ഞു വേണ്ട, അമ്മ മരിച്ചോട്ടെ, ദയവായി ഇങ്ങനെ ക്രൂശിക്കരുതെ അവരെ, പൈസക്ക് വേണ്ടി... നിവൃത്തിയില്ലാതെ അവര്‍ അമ്മയെ വെന്റിലടരില്‍ നിന്ന് പിറ്റേ ദിവസ്സം കാലത്ത് മാറ്റി. അതി വേഗതയില്‍ ചലിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന വാഹനം, ഒരു കുന്നു ഇറങ്ങുമ്പോള്‍, സ്വിച്ച് ഓഫ്‌ ചെയ്തു&amp;nbsp;വിടുമ്പോള്‍&amp;nbsp;സ്പീഡ്&amp;nbsp;കുറയുന്നത്&amp;nbsp;പോലെ, അമ്മയുടെ ബ്ലഡ്‌ പ്രഷര്‍, ആ വെന്റിലെട്ടര്‍ ഓഫ്‌ ചെയ്തത് മുതല്‍, കുറഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.&amp;nbsp;നൂറു,&amp;nbsp;എന്പതു...എഴുപതു...&amp;nbsp;അറുപതു&amp;nbsp;........ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;അമ്മയുടെ അടുത്ത് തന്നെ ഇരുന്നു കൊണ്ട്,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; എല്ലാ ഈശ്വരന്മാരെയും&amp;nbsp; ഗുരുക്കന്മാരേയും&amp;nbsp; മനസ്സില്‍&amp;nbsp; വിചാരിച്ചു&amp;nbsp;ലളിതാ&amp;nbsp;സഹസ്ര&amp;nbsp;നാമം, പതുക്കെ പതുക്കെ&amp;nbsp;കാതില്‍ ചൊല്ലി കൊടുത്തു&amp;nbsp;കൊണ്ടിരിന്നു.&amp;nbsp;അബോധാവസ്ഥയില്‍&amp;nbsp;ആയിരുന്നെങ്കിലും,&amp;nbsp;ഇടയ്ക്കിടയ്ക്ക് എന്റെ&amp;nbsp; കര&amp;nbsp;സ്പര്‍ശം&amp;nbsp;മനസ്സിലായിട്ടോ എന്തോ&amp;nbsp;അമ്മ&amp;nbsp;സൂചനകള്‍ തന്നു&amp;nbsp;കൊണ്ടിരിന്നു. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;എന്തൊക്കെയോ&amp;nbsp;പറയാനും&amp;nbsp;ചെയ്യാനും&amp;nbsp;ഭാക്കി&amp;nbsp;വച്ച് കൊണ്ട് ആ&amp;nbsp;അമ്മ ഞങ്ങളെ ഈ&amp;nbsp;ലോകത്തില്‍ നിന്ന്&amp;nbsp;അന്ന്&amp;nbsp;രാത്രിയോടെ&amp;nbsp;വിട പറഞ്ഞു ഈ&amp;nbsp;ലോകത്തിലെ അവരുടെ&amp;nbsp; കര്‍മ&amp;nbsp;യോഗങ്ങള്‍&amp;nbsp;മുഴുവനാക്കി&amp;nbsp;അവരുടെ ശരീരം ഞങ്ങളെ വിട്ടു&amp;nbsp;പോയി.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;എങ്കിലും അവരുടെ ആത്മാവ് ഞങ്ങളോടടൊപ്പം ഇന്നും എന്നും ഉണ്ടാവും. ആ ജനലിലൂടെ, ഞങ്ങള്‍ ശബ്ദം മാത്രം കേട്ട് ആസ്വദിച്ച ആ മഴയും, മയക്കത്തിലെങ്കിലും കേട്ട് തലം പിടിച്ചു രസിച്ച ആ നാമ സന്കീര്തനവും എന്നെന്നും അവസാന ശ്വാസം വരെ നില നില്‍ക്കും. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;പല ചോദ്യങ്ങള്‍&amp;nbsp;ഭാക്കിയായത്&amp;nbsp;മാത്രം മിച്ചം. എന്ത് കൊണ്ട് ആ ആശുപത്രിയിലെ ഡോക്ടര്‍മാര്‍ അമ്മയുടെ&amp;nbsp;രോഗാവസ്ഥയുടെ&amp;nbsp;യാഥാര്‍ത്ഥ്യം&amp;nbsp;മനസ്സിലായിട്ടു പോലും രണ്ടാമതും ഒരു കീമോ ചികില്സ്സക്ക് അവര്‍ക്ക് കൊടുത്തൂ? എന്ത് കൊണ്ട് അവരുടെ എല്ലാ പ്രധാന അവയങ്ങള്‍ പ്രവര്‍ത്തനം നിറുത്തി എന്നറിഞ്ഞിട്ടും അവരെ ആ ഐ സി യു വില്‍ വെന്റിലെട്ടരില്‍ കിടത്തി? അങ്ങനെ പോകുന്നു...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;പ്രിയ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളെ, നിങ്ങളുടെ അച്ഛനോ അമ്മയോ, സഹോദരനോ സഹോദരിയോ സുഹൃത്തോ, ഇങ്ങനെ ഒരു അവസ്ഥ അനുഭവിക്കുകയാണ് എങ്കില്‍, രണ്ടു കാര്യം ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുക, കാന്‍സര്‍ രോഗം അവസാനത്തെ ഘടത്തില്‍ ഒരു മാജിക്‌ കാണിച്ചും ഒരു ഡോക്ടര്‍ക്കും മാറ്റാന്‍ പറ്റുകയില്ല. അങ്ങനെ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഡോക്ടര്‍ നിര്‍ബന്ധിച്ചാല്‍, വേറെ ഒന്നോ രണ്ടോ ഡോക്ടര്‍മാരെ കൂടി കാണിച്ചു അഭിപ്രായം ആരായുക.&amp;nbsp;എതൊരു കാരണത്താലും, രോഗിയുടെ, ചികിത്സയോ, ഡോക്ടോരെയോ അവസാന ഘട്ടത്തില്‍ മാറ്റാതിരിക്കുക, കാരണം, പുതിയ ഡോക്ടര്‍ക്ക്‌, അവരുടെ അസുഖത്തെ പറ്റിയും, അതിന്റെ ആ സമയത്തെ അവസ്ഥയെ പറ്റിയും കാര്യമായ വിവരം ഗ്രഹിച്ചു എടുക്കാന്‍ ഉള്ള സമയം ഉണ്ടാവുകയില്ല. ഇത് ഗുണത്തിന് പകരം ദോഷം മാത്രമേ ചെയുകകയുള്ളൂ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;പ്രത്യേകിച്ചും, ഇന്നത്തെ അവസ്ഥയില്‍, ഒരു കോടി രൂപയും അധിലധികവും ചെലവ് ചെയ്തു, എം ഡി&amp;nbsp;പഠനം&amp;nbsp;പൂര്‍ത്തിയാക്കി വരുന്ന ഡോക്ടര്‍മാരും കൊല്ലം കൊല്ലം തോറും പുതിയ കെട്ടിടങ്ങള്‍ പണിതു ഉയര്‍ത്തുന്ന&amp;nbsp;ആശുപത്രികളും&amp;nbsp;ഉള്ളിടത്തോളം കാലം!. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;കാന്‍സര്‍ മുതലായ രോഗങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്, വ്യക്തമായ ചികിത്സാ രീതിയും, സമ്പ്രദായവും, ചികിത്സ സംവിധാനങ്ങള്‍ ഗവര്‍മെന്റ് തലത്തിലോ, അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ പ്രിവട്ടില്‍ ആണെങ്കില്‍, വ്യക്തമായ ചട്ടകൂടുകളിലോ മാത്രം നടത്താന്‍ ഇടവരുത്തെണ്ട കാലം അധിക്രമിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. &lt;br /&gt;അമ്മ എന്ന് സ്നേഹപൂര്‍വ്വം മാത്രം&amp;nbsp; ഞാന്‍‍&amp;nbsp;ബഹുമാനിച്ചു&amp;nbsp;സംബോധന&amp;nbsp;ചെയ്യുകയും &amp;nbsp;സ്നേഹിക്കുകയും&amp;nbsp;ചെയ്ത&amp;nbsp;എന്റെ&amp;nbsp;ഭാര്യയുടെ &amp;nbsp;അമ്മയുടെ&amp;nbsp;ആത്മാവിനു&amp;nbsp;ശാന്തി&amp;nbsp;നേര്‍ന്നു കൊണ്ട്, ഞാന്‍&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;കാന്‍സര്‍ രോഗികളുടെ സൌകര്യങ്ങള്‍ക്കായും, അവരുടെ കുടുംബാങ്ങങ്ങളുടെ ആശ്വസ്സത്തിനായും എന്നാലാവുന്ന വിധത്തില്‍ ഉള്ള കര്‍മങ്ങള്‍ തുടങ്ങാന്‍ ശ്രമിക്കട്ടെ.&amp;nbsp; നിങ്ങള്‍ ഏവരുടെയും അനുഗ്രഹാശിസ്സുകള്‍ പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചു കൊണ്ട്, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;രമേശ്‌ മേനോന്‍, അബുദാബി &lt;br

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;കാലത്ത് ഏഴു മണിയെ ആയിട്ടുണ്ടായിരുന്നുല്ല്. മൊബൈല്‍ തുരുതുരാ&lt;br /&gt;അടിക്കുന്നു. കാലത്ത്, കുളിയും തൊഴലും ഒക്കെ കഴിഞ്ഞു, തിരക്ക്&lt;br /&gt;പിടിച്ചുള്ള ഒരുക്കത്തിനിടയില്‍ ഫോണ്‍ ശബ്ദം ആദ്യം ശ്രദ്ധയില്‍&lt;br /&gt;പെട്ടില്ല. ഓടി ചെന്ന് എടുത്തു നോക്കിയപ്പോള്‍ മൂന്നു തവണ മുന്‍പേ&lt;br /&gt;വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഓഫീസിലെ ഉയര്‍ന്ന ഉധ്യോഗസ്ഥന്‍ ആണ്&lt;br /&gt;വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. തിരിച്ചു വിളിക്കാതെ രക്ഷയില്ല. ഒരു ശുഭ ദിനം&lt;br /&gt;ആശംസിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി. തിരിച്ചു ആശംസകള്‍ നേര്‍ന്നു കൊണ്ട് ചോദിച്ചു, എവിടെ&lt;br /&gt;ആയിരുന്നു, എന്ത് പറ്റി സാധാരണ പോലെ ഫോണ്‍ ഉടനെ എടുത്തില്ലല്ലോ. കുളിയും&lt;br /&gt;ജപവും ഒക്കെ ആയിരുന്നു. ഫോണ്‍ അടിക്കുന്നത് കേട്ടില്ല സര്‍. ശരി, അദ്ദേഹം&lt;br /&gt;തുടര്‍ന്നു, ഞാന്‍ ഒരു പ്രശ്നത്തില്‍ ആണ് , ഇന്നലെ രാത്രി മുതല്‍&lt;br /&gt;മിരബെല്ലിനെ കാണാനില്ല. അവള്‍ ഒരു കൊച്ചു പെണ്‍കുട്ടിയാണ്. ഞങ്ങള്‍&lt;br /&gt;എല്ലായിടത്തും തിരക്കി. ഒരു സൂചനയും ഇല്ല. രാത്രി ഭക്ഷണം കഴിഞ്ഞു പുറത്തു&lt;br /&gt;നടക്കാന്‍ ഇറങ്ങിയതാണ്.. ഇനി എന്താ ചെയ്യുക... പോലീസില്‍ പരാധി&lt;br /&gt;കൊടുക്കാന്‍ എന്താണ് വഴികള്‍. മറ്റു മാര്‍ഗം വല്ലതും ഉണ്ടോ കണ്ടു&lt;br /&gt;പിടിക്കാന്‍...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ഈശ്വരാ ഞാന്‍ ഉള്ളില്‍ വിളിച്ചു, ഇന്നത്തെ ദിവസ്സം ഓട്ടം തന്നെ. എവിടെ&lt;br /&gt;പോയി കണ്ടു പിടിക്കും ആ കൊച്ചു സുന്ദരിയെ, ആരെങ്കിലും പിടിച്ചു കൊണ്ട്&lt;br /&gt;പോയോ, അതോ ആരുടെയെങ്കിലും കൂടെ ഒളിച്ചു ഓടിയോ? ഞാന്‍ ഇതാ സാറിന്റെ&lt;br /&gt;വീട്ടില്‍ എത്തി, ബാക്കിയെല്ലാം അവിടെ വന്നിട്ട്.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;വേഗം തന്നെ ഷര്‍ട്ടും പാന്റും ടയ്യും ഒക്കെ കുത്തിക്കേറ്റി, പ്രാതലും&lt;br /&gt;കഴിച്ചു എന്ന് വരുത്തി ഓടി. ഒരു വലിയ വില്ലയാണ് എന്റെ എമാന്റെത്.&lt;br /&gt;അതിനടുതുള്ളതും അതെ പോലെ തന്നെ ഉള്ളവ. ചില്ലറക്കാരല്ല അവിടെ താമസം.&lt;br /&gt;പുള്ളി ജോലി മാറി ഇവിടെ വന്നപ്പോള്‍ തന്നെ കൊച്ചു സുന്ദരിയും കൂടെ&lt;br /&gt;ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. മകനെക്കാള്‍ സ്നേഹം അവളോടായിരുന്നു അദേഹത്തിന്. മകനും&lt;br /&gt;അവള്‍ ഒഴിച്ച് കൂടാന്‍ വയ്യാത്ത കളിക്കൂട്ടുക്കാരി. ആ നടത്തവും ഭാവവും&lt;br /&gt;കണ്ടാല്‍, ആരും ഒന്ന് നോക്കി നിന്ന് പോകും. നോക്കി നോക്കിയില്ല എന്നുള്ള&lt;br /&gt;ആ നോട്ടം കണ്ടാല്‍ തന്നെ ആരും വീണു പോകും.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ഇനി എന്താ ചെയ്യാ, ഈശ്വരാ. കൊല്ലം അവസാനം സമയം ആണ്. എല്ലാ ഗവണ്മെന്റ്&lt;br /&gt;വകുപ്പില്‍ ഉള്ളവരും ലീവില്‍. ഇദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കാര്യം വീഴ്ച വരുത്തിയാല്‍&lt;br /&gt;ഈ കൊല്ലം ചെയ്ത പണിയെല്ലാം തഥൈവ. ശമ്പളവും ജോലി ഉയര്‍ച്ചയും ഒക്കെ&lt;br /&gt;സംസാരിപ്പിച്ചു ഉറപ്പിക്കുന്ന അപ്പ്രയ്സ്സല്‍ സമയം ആണ്. ഈശ്വരന്മാരെ&lt;br /&gt;കത്ത് രക്ഷിക്കണേ. കുഞ്ഞു കുട്ടി പരാധീനങ്ങള്‍ ഒരുപാട് ഉള്ളതാണ്. സകല&lt;br /&gt;ദൈവങ്ങളെയും വിളിച്ചു പ്രാര്‍ഥിച്ചു.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;തലേന്ന് ക്രിസ്മസ് പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥന ഉള്ളതിനാല്‍ രാത്രി റോഡില്‍ ധാരാളം&lt;br /&gt;ആളുകള്‍ ഉണ്ടാവേണ്ടതാണ്. അപ്പോള്‍ ആരെങ്കിലും കണ്ടിരിക്കാം. ഏതെങ്കിലും&lt;br /&gt;കുരുത്തം കേട്ടവര്‍ എന്തെങ്കിലും ചെയ്തോ? അങ്ങനെ പോയി ഭയവും സംശയങ്ങളും.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ആ വലിയ വീടിനുള്ളില്‍ ഒന്ന് കറങ്ങി. അവ അവളുടെ മുറിയില്‍ കയറി നോക്കി.&lt;br /&gt;കിടക്കയെല്ലാം വിരിച്ച അതെ മാതിരി കിടക്കുന്നു. ഭക്ഷണം കഴിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.&lt;br /&gt;രാത്രിയില്‍ പാല്‍ കുടിക്കാറുണ്ട്. അതും മുടക്കിയിട്ടില്ല. എന്ത് പറ്റി,&lt;br /&gt;ആരുടെ കൂടെ പോയി, ഇനി ആരെങ്കിലും പറഞ്ഞു പറ്റിച്ചു പുറത്തു കൊണ്ട് പോയോ&lt;br /&gt;ഈശ്വരാ..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;വീടിനു വെളിയില്‍ കടന്നു. അവിടെ പരിസ്സരം എല്ലാം ശ്രദ്ധയോടെ നോക്കി.&lt;br /&gt;ചുമരില്‍ പാടുകള്‍ ഒന്നും ഇല്ല. പൂന്തോട്ടത്തിലെ ചെടികളും അതെ പോലെ,&lt;br /&gt;പിടിവലിയൊ മറ്റു ലക്ഷണങ്ങള്‍ ഒന്നും തന്നെ ഇല്ല. പുറത്തു ഉള്ള വീടുകളിലും&lt;br /&gt;പരിസ്സരത്തും അന്വേഷിച്ചു. അവര്‍ക്കും ഒരു വിവരവും ഇല്ല. ഫോട്ടോ&lt;br /&gt;കാണിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ അവരും പറഞ്ഞു, ഈ സുന്ദരിയെ ഞങ്ങളും ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.&lt;br /&gt;കഷ്ടം അപകടം ഒന്നും ഇല്ലാതിരിക്കട്ടെ. അപ്പോള്‍ ആ വഴികളും അടഞ്ഞു.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;സമയം വൈകിച്ചിട്ടു കാര്യമില്ല. ഞങ്ങള്‍ അവളുടെ ഒരു ഫോട്ടോയും&lt;br /&gt;പാസ്സ്പോര്‍ട്ട് , വിസ എന്നിവയുടെ കോപ്പിയും കൊണ്ട് അടുത്ത പോലീസ്സ്&lt;br /&gt;സ്റ്റേഷന്‍ ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കി നീങ്ങി. പോകുന്ന വഴിയില്‍ സിഗ്നലില്‍ വണ്ടി&lt;br /&gt;നിറുത്തുമ്പോള്‍ എല്ലാ ഭാഗത്തേക്കും രണ്ടു പേരും കണ്ണുകള്‍ ഓടിച്ചു.&lt;br /&gt;എവിടെയെങ്കിലും കാണാന്‍ സാധിച്ചാലോ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;അവിടെ ചെന്ന് കാര്യം പറഞ്ഞു. സാര്‍ ഇന്നലെ രാത്രി പത്തു മണി മുതല്‍&lt;br /&gt;മിരബെല്ലിനെ കാണാന്‍ ഇല്ല. അവിടെ ഇരുന്ന ഓഫിസ്സര്‍ വാച്ച് നോക്കി&lt;br /&gt;ഞങ്ങളോട് ചോദിച്ചു. ഇപ്പോള്‍ സമയം എത്രയായി. ഞങ്ങള്‍ ഒരേ സ്വരത്തില്‍&lt;br /&gt;പറഞ്ഞു. പതിനൊന്നു മണി. ഇതാണോ നിങ്ങളുടെ ഉത്തരവാദിത്ത്വം. അതെ സമയം തന്നെ&lt;br /&gt;ഞങ്ങളെ എന്ത് കൊണ്ട് വിളിച്ചു വിവരം പറഞ്ഞില്ല. എവിടെ ഫോട്ടോ? എവിടെ&lt;br /&gt;മറ്റു കടലാസ്സുകള്‍? ആരെയെങ്കിലും നിങ്ങള്ക്ക് സംശയം ഉണ്ടോ? എന്താണ്&lt;br /&gt;അവളുടെ രീതികള്‍? ഇതിനു മുന്‍പും ഇങ്ങനെ ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുണ്ടോ? ചോദ്യങ്ങള്‍&lt;br /&gt;ശരം കണക്കു അയാള്‍ അറബി കലര്‍ന്ന ഇംഗ്ലീഷില്‍ തൊടുത്തു വിട്ടു&lt;br /&gt;കൊണ്ടിരുന്ന. തത്തമ്മ പറയുന്ന പോലെ ഞങ്ങള്‍ മറുപടിയും കൊടുത്ത്.&lt;br /&gt;കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറില്‍ അറബിയില്‍ എന്തൊക്കെയോ എഴുതി ചേര്‍ത്തു അയാള്‍ പറഞ്ഞു.&lt;br /&gt;ഞങ്ങള്‍ അന്വേഷ്വിക്കം, നിങ്ങളും നോക്കൂ. വിഷമിക്കേണ്ട. അവളെ തിരിച്ചു&lt;br /&gt;കിട്ടും. ഈ നാട്ടില്‍ കുറ്റം ചെയ്യാന്‍ ധൈര്യം ഉള്ളവര്‍ കുറവാണ്. ഇത്&lt;br /&gt;എന്തെങ്കിലും അബദ്ധം പറ്റി എവിടെയെങ്കിലും ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ടു പോയിട്ടുണ്ടാവാം.&lt;br /&gt;നിങ്ങള്‍ രണ്ടു പേരും ഫോണില്‍ എപ്പോള്‍ വിളിച്ചാലും കിട്ടാവുന്ന&lt;br /&gt;രീതിയില്‍ ഇരിക്കണം. എന്തെങ്കിലും വിവരം കിട്ടിയാല്‍ ഞങ്ങള്‍ ഉടനെ&lt;br /&gt;വിളിക്കാം. ഇപ്പോള്‍ പൊയ്ക്കോളൂ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ക്രിസ്മസ് ആയിരുന്നു അന്ന്. ഈ ഒളിച്ചോട്ടം കാരണം തലേ ദിവസ്സം തൊട്ടു&lt;br /&gt;ഉറക്കമില്ലാതെ സായ്പ്പും മകനും ഭാര്യയും വേവലാതി കൊണ്ട് കണ്ണ് ചീര്‍ത്തു&lt;br /&gt;വല്ലതായിട്ടുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ഒന്ന് കൊണ്ടും പേടിക്കേണ്ട, എന്തായാലും അവളെ&lt;br /&gt;നമുക്ക് തിരിച്ചു കിട്ടും, വേറെയും മാര്‍ഗങ്ങള്‍ ഉണ്ടല്ലോ പോലിസ്സല്ലാതെ,&lt;br /&gt;അവയിലൂടെയും നമുക്ക് പരിശ്രമിക്കാം, എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞെ അവരെ ആശ്വസിപ്പിച്ചു.&lt;br /&gt;ഉടനെ തന്നെ ഫേസ്ബുക്കിലും മറ്റു മാധ്യമങ്ങളിലും അവളുടെ ഫോട്ടോ സഹിതം&lt;br /&gt;കാണാതായ വിവരം പരസ്യമായി കൊടുത്തു.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;വൈകുന്നേരം വരെയും ഒരു വിവരവും ഇല്ല. രാത്രിയായി, ക്രിസ്മസ് രാവും&lt;br /&gt;കഴിഞ്ഞു ഒരു രാത്രി കൂടി അങ്ങനെ കടന്നു പോയി....ഉറക്കമില്ലാതെ. എല്ലാ&lt;br /&gt;ഭാഗങ്ങളിലും തിരച്ചിലും മറ്റു ശ്രമങ്ങളും വിഫ്ഫലമാക്കി കൊണ്ട്.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;കാലത്ത് ഒരു എട്ടു മണി ആയി കാണും, അവളെ കാണാതായിട്ട് ഒരു ദിവസ്സം&lt;br /&gt;കഴിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു. അതാ ഗേറ്റില്‍ ഒരു അനക്കം. പകുതി തുറന്നിട്ട&lt;br /&gt;വാതിലിലൂടെ അതാ അവള്‍ മന്ദം മന്ദം നടന്നു വരുന്നു. വലത്ത് കാലിനു ഒരു&lt;br /&gt;വലിവുണ്ടോ എന്ന് ഒരു സംശയം... അവിടെ അവിടെ ചോര പോടിയുന്നുമുണ്ട്...&lt;br /&gt;സായ്പ്പിന്റെ മകന്‍ ഓടി ചെന്ന് അവളെ കോരി എടുത്തു ഉമ്മ വച്ച്.... കണ്ണ്&lt;br /&gt;നീര്‍ പൊഴിച്ച് കൊണ്ട് ചോദിച്ചു നീ എവിടെ ആയിരുന്നു. അപ്പോഴേക്കും&lt;br /&gt;സായിപ്പും മദാമയും ഓടി എത്തി. അവരും അവളെ മാറി മാറി എടുത്തു ഉമ്മ&lt;br /&gt;വച്ച്.... സാരമില്ല മോനെ നമുക്ക് അവളെ ജീവനോടെ തിരിച്ചു കിട്ടിയല്ലോ...&lt;br /&gt;സന്തോഷം കൊണ്ട് അവര്‍ക്ക് മൂന്ന് പേര്‍ക്കും കൂടുതല്‍ ഒന്നും&lt;br /&gt;സംസാരിക്കാന്‍ കഴിയുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ചോദ്യങ്ങള്‍ ഭാക്കി വച്ച് കൊണ്ട് അവളെ അവര്‍ അവളുടെ മുറിയിലെ കിടക്കയില്‍&lt;br /&gt;കൊണ്ട് കിടത്തി പതുക്കെ തലോടി, പാല്‍ കൊടുത്തു..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;മ്യാവു...മ്യാവു. അവളും എന്തോ ഒക്കെ പറയാന്‍ വേണ്ടി&lt;br /&gt;ശ്രമിക്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ക്ഷീണം കൊണ്ടോ യാത്ര ചെയ്തതു കൊണ്ടോ&lt;br /&gt;എന്തെന്നറിയില്ല അവള്‍&amp;nbsp; വേഗം ഉറങ്ങി പോയി.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;മിരബെല്‍, നാല് വയസ്സുള്ള ആ സുന്ദരി പേര്‍ഷ്യന്‍ പൂച്ച, ഏതൊരാളും&lt;br /&gt;കണ്ടാല്‍ ഒന്ന് നോക്കി നിന്ന് പോകും അവളെ. നിഗൂഡതകള്‍ ഭാക്കി വച്ച്&lt;br /&gt;കൊണ്ട്, അവള്‍ സുഖ നിദ്രയില്‍ അതാ കിടക്കുന്നു. എന്തൊരു ഭാഗ്യ ജന്മം.&lt;br /&gt;അവള്‍ ഈ നാല് വയസ്സിനിടയില്‍ ഏഴു കടലും കടന്നു കാണാത്ത രാജ്യങ്ങള്‍ വളരെ&lt;br /&gt;കുറവ്. സായ്പ്പ് എവിടെ ഒക്കെ പോകുന്നോ അവിടെ അവളും ഉണ്ടാവും..&lt;br /&gt;ആരായിരിക്കാം അവളുടെ പുതിയ കാമുകന്‍, അതോ ആരാണ് അവളെ തട്ടി കൊണ്ട് പോയി&lt;br /&gt;പീഡിപ്പിച്ചത്. ഈ രാജ്യത്തു പീഡന ശ്രമം വളരെ ഗൗരവമുള്ള കുറ്റമാണെന്ന്&lt;br /&gt;അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടു പോലും അത് ചെയ്ത അവന്‍ അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ അവര്‍ ഇനിയും അവളെ&lt;br /&gt;ഉപദ്രവിക്കാതെ നോക്കണം എന്ന് തമാശയോടെ എന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ട് സായ്പ്പ്&lt;br /&gt;നന്ദിയോടെ എന്റെ മുഖത്ത്&amp;nbsp; നോക്കി ചിരിച്ചു. ഈശ്വരാ അങ്ങനെയും ഒരു ജന്മം&lt;br /&gt;അങ്ങനെയും ഒരു ദിവസ്സം. എന്തായാലും പുള്ളിക്കാരന് അവളെ കിട്ടിയല്ലോ എന്നാ&lt;br /&gt;ആശ്വാസ്സത്തോടെ ഞാന്‍ തിരിച്ചു വീട്ടിലേക്കു യാത്രയായി. ആശാന്‍&lt;br /&gt;സന്തോഷിച്ചാല്‍ മാത്രമേ നമ്മുടെ കാര്യം കുശാല്‍ ആവുള്ളു.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;രമേശ്‌ മേനോന്‍ അബുദാബി &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;31.12.2011&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To

Apart from doing voluntary service, she sits on the pavement every evening to do biksha to collect some money to meet her day to day living needs. If one gives or try to give a large sum, she normally refuses and takes coins only as her needs are limited. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;We were looking for distributing our beloved Ammas dresses to someone needy. And just the other day, this sanyasinis whole dress materials and bags were stolen and she was asking for help with those around. Our contact, the vendors in front of the ashram informed us about this sad and cruel incident, and what to say, a very relevant opportunity to be at service for her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;My loving wife have contacted her and done all the assistance she needs at this moment of desperation and urgency, in terms of dress and other needs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;God, you are ominipresent, and we are at your service....

Tears rolled when I saw those new ones. A friend has offered as many ream of new clothes for their uniforms. God, you have been merciful and kind to support our thoughts and initiatives.

My mother in law was in the last stage of her life and was admitted to this room. We were in the first bed which was next to the entrance and there was another bed, which was close to the window outside. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;During the last week of her life in this world, she was here. As by standers, me and my wife was also there with her. She was conscious and in the adjacent bed, patients came and went. Most of them returned back to their home from there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;During the course of the day, we made friendship with them, their relatives as we discussed each others conditions. Amma was in conscious state and was able to see people coming and going. All Cancer Patients in various conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;On the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; day, there came a new patient, a Lt Colonel’s wife, and a Doctor by Profession. Her husband Lt Colonel Ray was with her and working abroad. He was a short tempered man, but witty at times with us and with his wife, giving her courage. His temperament, made her scary at many times as he interacted with the hospital staff. However, he was very nice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Talking to him as we introduced we became very close, and discussing further our roots, we realized, we have some common friends. My school mate Sarath’s father Dr. Sudhakaran was a friend of him when he was serving with the Navy at Cochin Naval base.&amp;nbsp; After all, this world is really small.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Mrs. Ray talked to us very closely and openly whenever he was not with her. She talked a lot to our Amma. On the second day of her arrival, amma was still keeping conscious self, although her conditions were becoming severe. A sweet girl from the Yoga and meditation division of the hospital came to Mrs. Ray and was giving her a discourse of Vedas and meditation. She was narrating her several incidents from our epics to give courage and boost her morale to fight the disease, along with some simple techniques. Me and amma were overhearing it from the other side of the room. After the little girl left, she expressed a desire to my wife, I too wanted to do this course, when I recover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;That afternoon Mrs Ray was discharged after her course of treatment was finished. It rained heavily, and we were alone in the room. Amma was sad, why all others coming and going and she was still there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I thought may be next day, I will ask the doctor to change her to the bed near to the window, so that she will also recover and be able to come back home. But, it never happened, or I never got a chance to speak about it even.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Evening came, and as we listened to the sound of rain from our side of the room, our Amma was recapitulating the stories she listened overhearing from the other side with me. Again, she expressed a desire to learn from that girl the art of meditation technique that she explained. I promised her, I will call her the next day, for our Amma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Unfortunately, all stories in this world do not&amp;nbsp;have a happy ending. This one too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Although, I went and booked her for coming to our room to teach our amma yoga and relaxation technique, that afternoon, she developed serious complications related to her disease. Slowly she fell into an unconscious state.... The TV programme that evening being showed was one on learning Hanuman Chalissa, and as it was aired, I felt her tapping her hand slowly and rhythmically for the first time in her life,&amp;nbsp;to the rhythamic chants and narrations and explanations going on. Soon, she&amp;nbsp;had to be shifted to the ICU and then to be put on ventilator as she never regained her conscious self..... Was it a farewell programme to divine world.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;For so many things we do not have any answer in this world.. This is one such thing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;She never returned from there, although till the last moment of her conscious self, she was confident, she will come back safe and be with us for a long time. Her hands held close and tight mine as I stood near to her.......&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;She will be there and here, forever and ever. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I am sorry Amma, it was probably one wish of yours that I couldn't fulfill and of course my Aviyal..... Happy New Year Amma........... I am sorry, I am helpless to control my tears............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-5199957348428303080?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/5199957348428303080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2011/12/story-across-window.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/5199957348428303080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/5199957348428303080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2011/12/story-across-window.html' title='Story across the Window'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1J971CcEfZs/TvFTIAK8bCI/AAAAAAAAPww/KMkhvxYToHc/s72-c/Story+across+the+window+DSC04331.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-8558697523353887057</id><published>2011-12-21T07:30:00.001+04:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T10:11:42.686+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks and writes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='01 Photo Speaks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Information - News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Writes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clicks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rituals'/><title type='text'>Rituals at Srirangapatna</title><content type='html'>Rituals at Sreerangapattanam &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNoLMOyKnkA/TvFStA6RctI/AAAAAAAAPwo/vgyf8FXadK0/s1600/Sreerangapattanam+DSC04434.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNoLMOyKnkA/TvFStA6RctI/AAAAAAAAPwo/vgyf8FXadK0/s320/Sreerangapattanam+DSC04434.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sJW_qByUB4k/TvFRzdRNyTI/AAAAAAAAPwM/KKJ-V6xeg4s/s1600/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sJW_qByUB4k/TvFRzdRNyTI/AAAAAAAAPwM/KKJ-V6xeg4s/s320/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04423.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YeSci-H33wY/TvFR_75YHKI/AAAAAAAAPwU/EWKQpWuaD6A/s1600/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YeSci-H33wY/TvFR_75YHKI/AAAAAAAAPwU/EWKQpWuaD6A/s320/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04425.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPHdg8NPGrU/TvFSJuRdqLI/AAAAAAAAPwc/DNim8_cGe94/s1600/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPHdg8NPGrU/TvFSJuRdqLI/AAAAAAAAPwc/DNim8_cGe94/s320/Sreegangapattanam+DSC04427.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Srirangapatna (also spelt as Srirangapattana)&amp;nbsp;is a small town in Mandya district of Karnataka, 19 kms away from Mysore.

It is indeed the cradle of culture in northern Kerala. Holding immense historical importance, this is the place where 'Mamangam', a grand assembly of the rulers of Kerala was held once every 12 years, in olden times. This extravagant festival was held for the last time in 1755 AD. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The famous and ancient Thirunavaya Temple, known throughout the country as an ancient teaching-centre of the Vedas, was once plundered and destroyed by Tipu Sultan's army. It was the Zamorin who repaired the temple later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Thirunavaya is considered equivalent to Varanasi because of the presence of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma temples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(Reference source : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vaikhari.org/thirunavaya.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;http://www.vaikhari.org/thirunavaya.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;It is said to be very auspicious to do the religious rituals at the banks of this famous temple to departed souls within and after the stipulated ceremonial days associated with death of our relatives. Therefore, it was our wish to be here on the 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day of our ammas demise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The temple is very well organised and the priests or acharyas for doing these detailed pooja and kriyas &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;are fully devoted and never showed any sign of greed for money, normally associated with those doing services for such rituals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;We were recommended to meet Sri Unnikrishnan Elayath (Mobile : 00 91 9249259226) who is one of the senior most amongst them. Kriyas are done in three batches, starting as early as 5:00 am. The second batch start at 7:00 am and then the third at 09:00 am. It takes normally one and half hour to complete the full set of rituals. He does it in such a way that those who are doing the rituals really feels the presence of their close ones who left them from this world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;It should be noted to carry a coin along with you when going to perform the rituals as there are procedures to place the coin and then offer prayers. For those who do not carry them, he himself gives the coin. It is advisable to offer a nominal dakshina after the rituals and prayers associated. However, he never insists on it, and saw many leaving immediately without offering any dakshina or namaskaram to the priest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;It was really satisfying to see at least one more place of religious importance where greed for money did not rule over the rituals and sanctity associated. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Before leaving, I prayed a lot to BABA and our amma to guide and bless me to teach these children in the best possible way.Went along with Mrs.Pragya and mon for the class.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The children were happy to see us. Initially all the elder boys aged above 12 years joined. But later i saw so many other younger enthusiasts eagerly peeping through the window. Then I allowed them also to join. They were simply thrilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were so happy to learn. They showed so much interest&amp;nbsp; . They have very good grasping power also. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I asked them simple questions like the full form of CPU, they just shot back with the correct answer. Then I explained to them the significance of CPU&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Today being the first class, we took around the whole system.&amp;nbsp; All of them sat throughout the class keenly listening to whatever we were teaching them.Some of them have drawn some pictures in their books. I shall email you those drawings also.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a nice experience spending so much time with these children. WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM THEM WHEN WE CRIB ABOUT SMALL SMALL PROBLEMS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEY ARE ALWAYS SMILING THROUGH THE PAIN AND SO GOD FEARING. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monu also enjoyed seeing them show so much interest in learning computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we left, they asked us - 'Aunty neenu saturday bharthiya'.&amp;nbsp; We told them we will surely come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mon has taken some photos of the class sessions.

Medium of instruction for children will be English and they are requested to speak in English and they will in turn teach the guides basic Kannada.

The vibration I received was just the same that one gets in the bhajan hall of Puttaparthi with more than 20 or 30 thousands of devotees singing with one voice and devotion... What they need is a Tabala or dolak.. Everything will come, with our gurus blessings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I have written here earlier too about the need for a pedestrian overbridge at the Whitefield railway crossing. It is labelled clearly by the railway authorities that "Trespassing is prohibited". But it looks like there ends there (Railway's) responsibility. When they built the flyover and closed this railway gate permanently, they never thought options for the public to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- reach the railway station from the bus station side conveniently - other than to go over the 1 kms approximately lengthy bridge and come down and then reach across&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- to install necessary street light for public&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- to consider the huge number of public who rely that route mainly to reach the bus station, railway station from both sides and the ashram and market and shopping area and residential area situated on one side of the gate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- never ever thought about the elderly or rather even young who has to go across two or even three waiting trains, which can move any time when the pass underneath them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- or even never ever thought about the public who has to go past the railway track which is often made filthy by the excretory output from the passing train&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing is that this case is made aware to the legislator, railway authorities, electricity board, bus terminal authorities and even police. It looks like someone somewhere is competing with the other as to who will make the first step to solve this issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day is not too far, when we will get to hear a tragedy of someone getting run over by a starting train, which has stopped when they tried to move down under.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really pity everyone for this plight, especially the elders and sick, when even young find it difficult to cross over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As a person who interact with many during emergency situation, I have noticed several times families left stranded with no guidelines as to assets and liabilities of their heads or bread earners. The topic detailed is therefore very important. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;In addition, I have also noticed that many of us do not carry valid contact numbers to reach near and dear ones in case of an emergency. There is a need for such a document carried along with valid contact details, blood group and other relevant instructions such as health conditions (allergy/operations carried out etc), which will help assist emergency assistance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Thanks to KNSS editorial team for coming out with a very useful topic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342574412373516326-4262622015561554388?l=clicksandwrites.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/feeds/4262622015561554388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2011/11/need-for-will.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4262622015561554388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1342574412373516326/posts/default/4262622015561554388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clicksandwrites.blogspot.com/2011/11/need-for-will.html' title='Need for &quot; A Will&quot;'/><author><name>Team 1 Dubai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17306975647100026600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kCw7lzw98w/TRxolYpmqsI/AAAAAAAANZg/NO12EQ0ttSo/S220/RM%2BDEC%2B2010_2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_6Vj5YjEVLM/Tsqyo5sWvOI/AAAAAAAAPmM/lL7EfitVriE/s72-c/KNSS+News+Bulletin+-+October+2011+editorial.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342574412373516326.post-4095982406514284502</id><published>2011-11-16T19:42:00.001+04:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T19:42:42.211+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='01 TQM India'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sabarimala'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TQM'/><title type='text'>Advance Q-Placement at Sabarimala</title><content type='html'>By booking this, you are not assured with Darshan at Sabarimala.

After listening to various radio channels in the past few days I suggest an increased voluntary participation by radio jockeys from all prominent radio stations to talk about the importance of not using mobile phones while driving — or using it diligently with appropriate hands-free equipment. Radio stations should implement a check to not entertain a caller if he or she is not using such equipment while participating in phone-in programmes. Can the radio stations, which are doing a wonderful job in passing out useful information and entertainment to listeners, include this in their daily agenda? Could the authorities also ensure that an appropriate guideline is issued to radio stations on this subject?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;From Mr Ramesh Menon &lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To read it in original, visit&lt;a href="http://gulfnews.com/opinions/letters/letters-october-27-2011-1.919307"&gt;

I believe so now, not then. During my school days, we used to have a monthly cultural programme for students and we all looked forward to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It used to be a screening of a documentary movie (mostly Charlie Chaplin’s), a puppet show or a special event we all looked forward to — the magic show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than any other event, crowds would flock to this event because of the element of mystery surrounding the show. We never missed any opportunity. The memories of one or two such shows are everlasting in my mind. One was by PC Sorcar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The magician came in his special magic dress and brought out many things from nowhere. A rabbit, a dove, and lots of chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He even “cut” one of his team members into two pieces. And he pocketed our teacher’s wristwatch using his magic wand. It was amazing for all of us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, I haven’t had a chance to watch a magic show. I hear that the Indian Social and Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi is organising a magic show by the famous Indian magician Professor Gopinath Muthukad on Oct.28 at the National Theatre, Abu Dhabi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a magician with a mission. He has a stupendous way to interact with children and captivates their hearts and instils good values in them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am looking forward to see him perform in Abu Dhabi. It adds more significance, when it is being held as part of a series of events held in commemoration of the 40th UAE National Day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramesh Menon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read it in original, please visit &lt;a href="http://www.gulftoday.ae/portal/b54b45e1-9800-4d0f-9413-4a83d8583a25.aspx"&gt;Gulf Today&lt;/a&gt;
