(The below is in response to a chain email depicting the poor educational qualifications of the ministers of Kerala. To avoid perpetuation of unverified data, I have not included the original message)
Wow, what a research !
the first question which comes to my mind is... is it all factual ? .. if I am not convinced that it is a fact, I don't forward, but hit that most important key on the keyboard ... DELETE.
but, for this one, I decided to do a bit of thinking and pen my thoughts .... 'cos you know, I am now a blogger ... at www.brahmayajna.blogspot.com ..... shall post this one also.
chain email perpetrators try all different topics to cater to different sentiments .... this maybe just one of them .... any mail which says forward to all .... take it with a pinch of salt.. they are intended to only multiply the email traffic.. just for mischief sake .... you can verify the international ones at this site .. http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/internet/a/current_netlore.htm
even if they are facts .. who is responsible for electing these people? .. you and me .. we should have done this research prior to going to the polling booths ... if at all we are taking the trouble to exercise our voting rights ... if we are really bothered as to who is guiding / administering our state or country... we cannot afford to sit ashore and do fishing
having said that, think for a second ... who is the man behind the software on almost all of our PCs? what is his educational qualification?
to me... true education is not represented by the 3 or 4 lettered tail at the end of the name ... true and complete education ... PURNA VIDYA... is a way of life ... it is a never-ending process ... to make a complete human being ... and that is real 'saaksharata'... 'aksharam' means that which does not have 'ksharam' or death .... that is why the alphabets are called 'aksharam' in malayalam .... and 'saaksharata' is that which is associated with 'aksharam' ... the complete human being
even if they are facts .. relax.. the ministry is not 'aksharam' ... it is temporary.... more temporary than some of our thoughts and feelings ... some of you may feel like strangling me while reading this ...
beauty is in the beholder's eye .... and kerala is beautiful .. shyama sundara kera kedara bhoomi.... that's why gurudev's teachings are spreading like wildfire in kerala!
jai gurudev !
keralam vazhatte !
bharatam vazhatte !
loka samasta sukhino bhavantu.

Hi Krishna
Absolutely agree with you... nothing to beat the beauty and serenity of our Keralam :-)
And definitely, we should be back home if we really want to make a difference... no sense in sitting miles away and then commenting/ complaining about the state of affairs back home :-O
BTW very interesting blogs! Bala & I are also trying out our hand at blogging, though mostly to post pictures at this time... do visit us www.balasrus.com/balaveen/
