A ray of hope to alcohol addicted people and their families.

I came to know about AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) from Malayala Manorama daily, a few weeks back. Many faces of some tragic families passed through my mind that time. I think our state is first in consuming liquors, and its rate hikes especially in festival seasons. I felt it is a good organization for such people. It helps to get rid of alcoholism from themselves and helping others to relieve from this “family and society ruining” bad habit.

AA was formed in the year 1935, now they are celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. The only condition to join in AA is the strong desire to throw away alcohol. No fees are taking for this purpose. The names of its members will be very confidential also. The members share their experiences of alcoholic life and what they done to relieve from this habit too. The members concentrate in how can live “today” without alcohol. When they can do it easily, “every day passes” like this.

You can contact AA in,

Thiruvananthapuram: 9496261512

Kottayam: 9447038765

Ernakulam: 9447003384

Kozhikkode: 9847985297

Or

Really hope AA’s efforts can lift many awful families from their miseries to pleasure.

Why this harthal and bandh?

A mother who carries her little one to a hospital on harthal day, without getting any vehicles.

Sorrow of a mother who had to wait for long hours to reach her son's dead body on harthal day.

Is it really meant for a particular problem solving or for hurting the people? Whatever the politicians say for supporting this, majority of Indian people cannot join with them as it becomes unkind and shameful in some cases. Many incidents which happened in Kerela yesterday are examples of the awful results of harthal. Can anyone support the harthal makers after knowing the pathetic situation of a mother who had to wait for long hours to see her son’s dead body? Also one more mother running with her 4 month old child to a hospital nearby for 15 minutes without getting an auto. Whenever our people quit the harthal aspiration, then only our country can develop. This is the truth……

Why people hesitate to help others?

This is the image of a cheating woman who pretends to be pregnant for getting money. Like this many and many incidents are occurring in our society. Some good personalities try to help the poor and orphans, but in some times they will be cheated by their bad activities. Now people are aware of this type of cheatings and they hesitate to do something for the poor. Many tragic deaths also happen by this people. So finally what happens means the people who are eligible for getting some sort of helps also are denied it due to others misusing.
