Issues in India, News: My opinions, Politics in India, Strikes and Protests

Silent revolutions

Those who are addicted to Newspapers, invariably skip most of the regional items (may be because they would have had a detailed version of such information through News channels every day.)

Anyway, we have to bear in mind that these reports which occupy some insignificant columns are worth reading because the matters covered in these columns are about certain silent revolutions which go beyond the usual welfare measures which are prone to the routine political demonstrations or protest of various kinds.

I too was about to skip such a news item, but when I read the report, I felt like praising the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development for introducing a scheme meant for promoting functional literacy among rural women.

First things first. I am one of those retired chaps who are young at heart. I watch cricket matches and jump for joy when Tendulkar scores yet another century. I read newspapers and books too, though I am not crazy about them. I think I have a mind free from hatred and I owe it to the wonders of nature and music. I scribble something now and then and call myself a writer! Though I have settled in Ooty, a lovely hill station in Tamil Nadu—I must emphasize the fact that I was born and brought up in Tellicherry in North Kerala and studied in the good old Government Brennen College. Of and on, my mind goes back to my ancestral house at Tiruvangad in Tellicherry in front of an ancient Sri Ram temple. I am indebted to this wonderful place which inculcated in me a love for cricket and literature. But all said and done, I am an Indian first.
