Suicide education by our medias

So many suicide cases in students are hearing in recent times. Their suicide temptation is increased it seems. Within one month 3 main cases have happened in Kerala. There are two reasons behind it. One is media’s publicity and the other is misuse of mobile phones.

If the Medias get an incident about suicide, they are actually educating people on different ways of suicides, how many types of poisons are there, where can be the poisons get from, etc. Medias are celebrating each events whether it is tragedy or not over their competition attitude. News reporters forget their commitment to the society and do their best to exploit all things for job hike. Just watch today's news reading method and compare it to the old one. Today they are elaborating the news unnecessarily. And they are over performing too. Most of the channels imitate English news reading styles (in attire and over performing). In Mumbai terror attacks, the over exposure of medias helped our opponents to succeed their plans. It had become a controversy too.

Mobile phones are very essential in our life that is true. But hi-tech facilities like cameras in it make trap for the girls, resulting in their tragic end in many cases. Medias should have commitment to the society. Now for news publicity they are ready to do anything. Hope they will realize the facts once and serve the society in good manner.

Different Dreams

Bangalore Couples


Bangalore - the city of gardens is famous for its richness of parks. So the people here don’t feel the dullness of city life compared to other cities. Enough parks and gardens provide the nature’s feeling at its best. But today’s young generation is not like the old. Today they have enough money to spend with, also enough boy/girl friends to date with. Young couples are a common view in parks, shopping malls etc. They do their extreme without considering the public . I read about this in a magazine 4 months back. A policeman questioned such an unauthorized couple, but they questioned him back, that it is none of his business. I also had to face many horrible experiences when I take my kid to such places. So parents are conscious about this when they go out with the kids. These kids are growing within this group of people. What will be happening in their future? Wait and see…. As a mother I feel a little nervousness about this problem.

Ear Eaters


What will be your reaction when a child cries continuously and making irritation always?
Or anyone always making annoyance? Gradually we hesitate to hear that sound. Why I mentioned it here is because, in sometimes I feel the same when I hear the sound of my phone. The reason is nothing but the disturbance of tele marketing people. I think all mobile phone customers are suffering this problem. It changes our mood in sometimes. We will be attending the phone within some emergency in sometimes, that time we are forcefully hearing the irritating sound of such calls. So as the result, whenever we get some real calls also, picking the phone will be in a bad mood. It affects the talking and even the relationship too.

What I have done to avoid is I have saved all numbers which I get calls often and I wont attend the call next time. So nowadays it is reduced. One of my friends went to the company outlet 3 times and gave warning. He threatened them that the next step will be a protest. Simply he said it, but it was effective. Now he is free from such calls. In metro cities the problem is that we won’t get anyone to unite and do something.

There are enough Medias here to advertise and to sell the products. This is not proper way to forcefully telling something to others ears. Most of such calls will be recorded type. So we can’t even react to them that time.

When I was planning to write something about this problem, yesterday incidentally I could see news about the same topic in news paper. Those informations are really useful. I am quoting those points also with this post.

The name of such calls is Unsolicited Commercial Calls (UCC). It is issued by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for telecommunications. A consumer can register his telephone number in National Do Not Call registry (NDNC) by calling 1909 or sending SMS by typing “START DNC” to 1909.

If it is not activated even after 45 days of registration, a complaint can be lodged with the service provider.

Morning sunlight and its fine effects.




We might have seen newborn infants are exposed to morning sunlight. Also prayer to God Sun which Hindus do as their ritual every morning after a bath. There are scientific reasons behind these deeds. Sunlight is utilized as treatment for physiologic jaundice. As the devotees turn 3 times while praying to Sun, the entire body gets sunlight. For many skin diseases, sunlight is advised as a medicine in Ayurveda.


Sunlight always denotes happiness and joy. Sunlight also brightens our day, gives positive energy to think and act compared to darkness or lack of sunlight. That is the reason why in winter season, people are moody, depressed and less productive. (The lack of sunlight lowers serotonin which is the hormone that is usually elevated when a person is happy).


Vitamin D which is essential for the skin, bones and hair growth is derived from the sun.

So we don’t have to be hesitated to expose our self to the early morning sunlight. It is good for our mental and physiological health.

Here comes yet another day of children……..


Children are the most sinless ones in the world. It is the only one reason everyone like children. But in today’s world even their life is not safe in the sense child abusing, child labor etc. Children under the age of 15 are the main victims. The boys and girls are equally abused (shows a survey).

Today we celebrate Children’s Day as the 119th birthday of their beloved chachaji. The above picture made me think that only children can enjoy their life without any egos, complexes and despair. Let them celebrate their childhood and let our memories of childhood help us to relieve a little bit from our troubles.

HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY TO ALL KIDS!!!!!
