Tt is a oleasure to issue this message to the third volume of Prerana

I ou| University is celebrating its Silver Jubilee Students are

Itf voice and bedrock of the University and their contribution

to this magazine has been remarkable and noteworthy The famous

writer Edwin Schlossberg has pointed out the skill of writing is

to create in which other people can think Keeping this in mind we

constantly strive not only to equip students with conceptual advances

in the domain of knowledge but also empower them to decisively act

in a manner which makes them highly effective fearless and vibrant

ThevisionarywriterAlwinJafferonceremarkedthattheilliterateofthe 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those

who cannot learn unlearn and relearn Therefore to be a successful

student in the current age of breath taking speed and highly competitive

environment requires a totally different set of skills and mind set Our

University in every possible way tries to attain the peak of excellence

and I am sure it will scale greater heights of success and prosperity in the

years to come as we transcend new horizons each year

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

IT

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

DILEMMA

Oh That old man looks the sameThe Cockermouth poets leech-gatherer comes aliveA search aimed not at the leechesBut for some life-giving food piecesThat may extend his life for atleat a dayThe struggles with stray dogs and rats end in gayOn finding a half-bitten biscuitOr those overly cooked thrown awaysThe poor old man proceeds to another heapAnd this optimism of getting more keeps the man going

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Tt is a oleasure to issue this message to the third volume of Prerana

I ou| University is celebrating its Silver Jubilee Students are

Itf voice and bedrock of the University and their contribution

to this magazine has been remarkable and noteworthy The famous

writer Edwin Schlossberg has pointed out the skill of writing is

to create in which other people can think Keeping this in mind we

constantly strive not only to equip students with conceptual advances

in the domain of knowledge but also empower them to decisively act

in a manner which makes them highly effective fearless and vibrant

ThevisionarywriterAlwinJafferonceremarkedthattheilliterateofthe 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those

who cannot learn unlearn and relearn Therefore to be a successful

student in the current age of breath taking speed and highly competitive

environment requires a totally different set of skills and mind set Our

University in every possible way tries to attain the peak of excellence

and I am sure it will scale greater heights of success and prosperity in the

years to come as we transcend new horizons each year

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Tt is a oleasure to issue this message to the third volume of Prerana

I ou| University is celebrating its Silver Jubilee Students are

Itf voice and bedrock of the University and their contribution

to this magazine has been remarkable and noteworthy The famous

writer Edwin Schlossberg has pointed out the skill of writing is

to create in which other people can think Keeping this in mind we

constantly strive not only to equip students with conceptual advances

in the domain of knowledge but also empower them to decisively act

in a manner which makes them highly effective fearless and vibrant

ThevisionarywriterAlwinJafferonceremarkedthattheilliterateofthe 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those

who cannot learn unlearn and relearn Therefore to be a successful

student in the current age of breath taking speed and highly competitive

environment requires a totally different set of skills and mind set Our

University in every possible way tries to attain the peak of excellence

and I am sure it will scale greater heights of success and prosperity in the

years to come as we transcend new horizons each year

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

-ta is very clever and practical in doing things So --geously she takes steps to build a new house with- savings of her husband and mother-in-law who used e money selling her goats Somehow they managed ild a new concrete house and Siamala even changed-= mpty courtyard into a beautiful garden of coconuts plantain trees and some flowering plants On seeing-^ sudden transformations some of her neighbours sed her cleverness boldness but there are some

= ives in that village burnt them with their eyes filled jealousy in spite of being rich particularly their next-r man and woman always pick up quarrel with them- no reasons and sometimes for petty reasons This

- -gams family is filled with happiness and it ran-rothly for some years Siamala gives birth to two- dren Anu and Bala Education in that family enters r this younger generation Lingam and Kokila are so-py to see Anu and Bala going school After some s Siamala gets into some company as a daily wager to- rage the finance of her family very soon she fills her- -lse with all modern equipments and electronic items- gam who cannot express his feelings and affections- rough words becomes slave and dependent to his wife-ext to his mother He feels satisfied and his life becomes-eaningful with his wife and children

J rfortunately this happiness and satisfaction doesrot last long in his life One mid day unexpectedly toveryones surprise Siamala elopes with a person whovorks along with her in that company While elopingsre took the ration card the savings of her husband andnother-in-law and also her children Kokila and Lingamare extremely depressed and brewed her elopement

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Itf voice and bedrock of the University and their contribution

to this magazine has been remarkable and noteworthy The famous

writer Edwin Schlossberg has pointed out the skill of writing is

to create in which other people can think Keeping this in mind we

constantly strive not only to equip students with conceptual advances

in the domain of knowledge but also empower them to decisively act

in a manner which makes them highly effective fearless and vibrant

ThevisionarywriterAlwinJafferonceremarkedthattheilliterateofthe 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those

who cannot learn unlearn and relearn Therefore to be a successful

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

The concept of work will be redefined as employeesuse portable wireless tools to communicate fromany location For business investment in technologywill be offset by substantial savings on traditionaloverhead expenses such as leases property taxes andfacilities maintenance Ubiquitous wireless connectivitywill permit people to easily collaborate with theircolleagues Advanced electronic communication deviceswill eliminate traditional time distance and languagebarriers facilitating communication and preventing lags inproduction A greater numberof people willtelecommuteto work There will be increased telecommuting in thecoming decade While technology will make employeesmore flexible it doesnt appear people will work fewerhours While employees will be expected to stay moreconnected with the office while on vacation

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

-ta is very clever and practical in doing things So --geously she takes steps to build a new house with- savings of her husband and mother-in-law who used e money selling her goats Somehow they managed ild a new concrete house and Siamala even changed-= mpty courtyard into a beautiful garden of coconuts plantain trees and some flowering plants On seeing-^ sudden transformations some of her neighbours sed her cleverness boldness but there are some

= ives in that village burnt them with their eyes filled jealousy in spite of being rich particularly their next-r man and woman always pick up quarrel with them- no reasons and sometimes for petty reasons This

n is always seen restless without enduring Lingams-ily progress

- -gams family is filled with happiness and it ran-rothly for some years Siamala gives birth to two- dren Anu and Bala Education in that family enters r this younger generation Lingam and Kokila are so-py to see Anu and Bala going school After some s Siamala gets into some company as a daily wager to- rage the finance of her family very soon she fills her- -lse with all modern equipments and electronic items- gam who cannot express his feelings and affections- rough words becomes slave and dependent to his wife-ext to his mother He feels satisfied and his life becomes-eaningful with his wife and children

J rfortunately this happiness and satisfaction doesrot last long in his life One mid day unexpectedly toveryones surprise Siamala elopes with a person whovorks along with her in that company While elopingsre took the ration card the savings of her husband andnother-in-law and also her children Kokila and Lingamare extremely depressed and brewed her elopement

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

THE KINGMAKER

Kamaraj Kumarasami better known as K Kamaraj (15

July 1903 - 2 October 1975) was an lndian politician

widely known to be the kingmaker in lndian politics and

known for his honesty integrity and simplicity

He was involved in the lndian independence movement

and was a close ally of Jawaharlal Nehru the first Prime

Minister of lndia He was instrumental in bringing topower two Prime Ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1954

and lndira Gandhi in 1966 He was affectionately known

as the Gandhi of the South ln Tamil Nadu his home state

he is still hailed for facilitating the spread of education tomlllions of the rural poor by introducing free education

and free mid-day meals scheme in schools during his

chiefministership in 1957 He was awarded lndias highest

civilian honor the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 7976

The main airport in Chennai is today named after him He

was hailed as one of the greatest of leaders of the world

by the then US vice-president Hubert Humphrey

Kamaraj was a multi-faceted political personality and

power and position sat lightly on him He was Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu for nine years and that period

was considered a Golden Age For him power was

only a means to serve the people and he served them

well He was a down-to-earth planner and visualized

and executed an infrastructure that was essential to

satisfy the needs of ordinary folk Only during his Chief

Ministership did every village of a thousand people get

a school He laid roads connecting rural areas to urban

centres creating easy access for village produce to reach

town and city markets

He paid speiial attention to the energy sector and

electricity reached almost all villages in Tamil Nadu The

power generation helped many industrial estates to

come up and grow The industrialization of Tamil Nadu

started in right earnest He ruthlessly cut the red tape

of bureaucratic inertia and his watchword was actionand result He appointed efficient officers as Heads ofDepartment where dynamism and quick decision wereessential He had talented and hard-working men in

a compact Cabinet of eight to assist him and mentionshould be made of C Subramaniam M Bhaktava-

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

tsalam and R Venkataraman Not personal loyalty but

commitment to serving the people was the criterion he

employed to select his Cabinet colleagues The Tamil

Nadu administration became a model for other States

and no less a person than Prime Minister Jawaharlal

Nehru openly acknowledged itKamaraj was not only a great administrator He was

a strong organisation man as well He rose from thegrassroot level and in his political life spanning more thanhalf a century there was no place in Tamil Nadu wherehe had not set foot Under the tutelage of a great oratorand parliamentarian S Satyamurti he blossomed into

full-fledged leadership When he was elected president

of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he knew every

region as he would know the palm of his hand He had

a retentive memory and knew every important party

member by name During the evening years of Nehru the

Congress started losing its vitality and the Prime Minister

in declining health was a worried man He was impatientto rejuvenate the Congress and consulted Kamaraj who

came up with a plan which was christened the K-Plan

The plan reflected the sacrificial attitude of Kamaraj topublic life Senior leaders holding offices of power were

asked to quit and take up organizational work Kamaraj

set an example by giving up his Chief Ministership

Kamarajs elevation to the presidentship of the Congress

at the instance of Nehru was a historical recognition ofthe mans national stature and capacity to steer the ship

of the party in critical times The choice was historical in

more senses than one After Nehru he not only saved

the Congress from immediate disintegration brought

on by leadership squabbles but proved to the world the

vibrancy of lndian democracy His later confrontation

with Prime Minister lndira Gandhi was a consequence ofthe inevitable power struggle between the organization

and the parliamentary wing of the party lt was also a

reflection of the contradictory perceptions of the old

guard and the new generation of leaders

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

BRAND UTILISATION INMODERN DAYS

Factories rust away Packages become obsoleteProducts lost their relevance But great Brands live

forever - Backer Spielvogel Bates

Brand is a name used to identify and distinguish a specific

product service or business A legally protected Brand

Name is called a Proprietary Name Brand is the image

of the product in the market Some people distinguish

the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential

aspect The experiential aspect consists of the sum ofall points of contact with the brand and is known as theBrand Experience The psychological aspect sometimes

referred to as the Brand lmage is a symbolic construct

created within the minds of the people and consists ofall the information and expectations associated with a

product or service The brand name is quite often used

interchangeably within brand although it is more

correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken

linguistic elements of any product ln this context a

brand name constitutes a type of trademark if thebrand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the

commercial source of products or services A brand ownermay seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a

brand name through trademark registration Advertising

spokespersons have also become part of some brands

For example Mr Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and

Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs

Branding may refer to Livestock branding the marking of animals to indicate

ownership Human branding as body

punishment Branding (BDSM) bonding of

marking of a submissive

modification or

the partners and

Wood branding permanently marking by way ofheat wood (also plastic cork leather etc)

Vehicle title branding a permanent designation

indicating that a vehicle has been written off Brand a name logo slogan andor design scheme

associated with a product or service Brand management the application of marketing

techniques to a specific product product line or

brand Nation branding the application of marketing

techniques for the advancement of a country Personal branding people and their careers marketed

as brandsCo-branding associates a single product or service

with more than one brand name

Branding agency a type of marketing agency which

specialises in creating brandsr Faith branding the application of marketing

techniques to religious institutions or individuals

Branding and lts lmportance in Marketing StrrtegyThe American MarketingAssociation (AMA) defines Brand

as a name term sign symbol or design or a combinationof them intended to identify the goods and services ofone seller or group of sellers and to differentiate themfrom those of other sellers Therefore it makes sense

to understand that branding is not about getting your

target market to choose you over the competition but itis about getting your prospects to see you as the only one

that provides a solution to their problem

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include Delivers the message clearly Confirms your credibilityr Connects your target prospects emotionallyr Motivates the buyer Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding one must understand the needs

and wants of the customers and prospects This may be

achieved by integrating the brand strategies throughthe company at every point of public contact The brand

resides within the hearts and minds of customers clients

and prospects lt is the sum total of their experiences

and perceptions some of which can be influenced or

enhanced

To conclude a strolg brand is invaluable as the battlefor customers intensifies day by day lts importantto spend time investing in researching defining and

building brand The brand is the source of a promise tothe consumers and its a foundational and crucial tool inmarketing communication which brings success to theproduct and to the organisation

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

4trrv

range of

earth is

IT

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

extraordinary love for numbers at the age of 3 she became

an expert in complex mental arithmetic at the age of five

On 18 June 1980 Shakuntala Devi gave the product oftwo thirteen digit figures after multiplying them within28 seconds Many countries have invited Shakuntala Devi

to demonstrate her extraordinary talent Today she isacclaimed as an accomplished mathematician

ln 1980 she gave the product of two thirteen digitnumbers within 28 seconds many countries have invitedher to demonstrate her extraordinary talent

ln Dallas she competed with a computer to see who give

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

CONSUMER AWARENESS RIGHTSAND RESPONSIBILITIES

The growing interdependence of the world economy andinternational character of many business practices havecontributed to the development of universal emphasison consumer rights protection and promotion MahatmaGandhi the father of nation attached greater importanceto what he described as the poor consumer whoaccording to him should be the principal beneficiary ofthe consumer movement He said

A Consumer is the most important visitor on ourpremises He is not dependent on us we are on himHe is not an interruption to our work he is the purposeof it We are not doing a favour to a consumer by givinghim an opportunity He is doing us a favour by giving anopportunity to serve him

The traditional product first and customer nextapproach is reversed to customer first product nextapproach lt means sellers market shifted to buyersmarket This way the needs of the customers becomethe focus of all developnent within the organisation lnthe modern content Consumer delight is consideredto be the ultimate goal of any organisation in the presentcompetitive environment

ConsumerAny person who buys or uses goods and services is a

consumer A consumer is any person business firm orgovernmental unit that chooses goods and servicesspends money on them and uses these goods andservices primarily to satisfy their own wants From birthevery one is a consumer in one or the other way

A right consumer is an individual who purchasesarticles consciously ominously with due on negligencesuperiority utility and also looking at its real monitoryvalue essentially and return value

ConsumerismConsumerism is a recent and universal phenomenon lt isa social movement Consumerism is all about protectionof the interests of the consumers According to McMillanDictionary (1985) Consumerism is concerned withprotecting consumers from all organisations with whichthere is exchanged relationship lt encompasses theset of activities of government business independentorganisations and concerned consumers that aredesigned to protect the rights of consumers The

F

r3

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

IT

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

will need to demonstrate to potential employersconcrete evidence of specialized skills and abilities suchas technical expertise and industry experience lt willresult to improve in efficiency of Human Resources

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

able to create new products and services and identifymore efficient ways to work will be among the mostmarketable as innovation continues to drive businessHence geographic location will matter less as businessesshift human and material resources around the globe inresponse to market opportunities Companies will dependon temporary instant plug and play offices that can beestablished wherever needed - in commercial spacesthat are fully wired and readily adaptable to the needs ofbusiness tenants for example

The concept of work will be redefined as employeesuse portable wireless tools to communicate fromany location For business investment in technologywill be offset by substantial savings on traditionaloverhead expenses such as leases property taxes andfacilities maintenance Ubiquitous wireless connectivitywill permit people to easily collaborate with theircolleagues Advanced electronic communication deviceswill eliminate traditional time distance and languagebarriers facilitating communication and preventing lags inproduction A greater numberof people willtelecommuteto work There will be increased telecommuting in thecoming decade While technology will make employeesmore flexible it doesnt appear people will work fewerhours While employees will be expected to stay moreconnected with the office while on vacation

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Chambers Dictionary (1993) defines Consumerism asthe protection of the interests of the buyers of goods andservices against defective or dangerous goods etc

Consumer Rightsln order to maximize the consumer satisfaction everybusiness enterprise is constantly bound to follow andpractice the requirements set for consumer protectionon national and supernational levels For this purposethe norms of business ethics have to be such that everyenterprise commits and complies with the lnternationalRights of Consumers as endorsed by the United Nationand embodied in the Consumer Protection Laws inlndia as in the form of objects of Consumer protectionCouncil Some of the basic consumer rights according toConsumer Protection Aci 1986 are as follows

1 The Rightto Safety that is to be protected againstproducts production processes and services whichare hazardous to health or life and property

2 The Right to be lnformed that is to be givenadequate facts about the quality quantity andprice of goods so as to make an informed choiceor decision and act wisely against any unfair tradepractices

3 The Right to Choose that is to have access to a

variety of products and services at competitiveprices and in the case of monopolies to have anassurance of satisfactory quality and service atfair price in such a way that the unrestrained rightof a minority to choose will not mean denial of a

fair share to majority4 The Right to be Heard that is to be represented

for consumer interests in the formulation andexecution of policies for development andproduction of goods and services

5 The Right to Redress that is to have a fairsettlement of just cla ims a nd receive com pensationfor misrepresentafion or shoddy goods orservices

6 The Right to Consumer Education that is toacquire knowledge and skills to be an informedconsumer and to take action on the mattersconcerning consumer decisions

7 The Right to Healthy Environment that is tohave a physical - environmental conducive togood quality of life and have protection againstenvironmental problems over which individualconsumer has no control (taken care byenvironmental protection law)

The lndian legal system experienced a revolution withthe enactment of the Consumer Protection Act of1986 [CPA] which was specifically deigned to protect

consumer interests The CPA was passed with avowedobjectives lt is intended to provide justice which is less

formal [and involves] less paper work less delay andless [expense] The CPA has received wide recognitionin lndia as poor mans legislation ensuring easy access tojustice However the CPA simply gives a new dimensionto rights that have been recognized and protected sincethe ancient period lt is rightly said that the present-day concern for consumer rights is not new andthat consumers rights like the right to have safe un-adulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriateprices has been recognized since ancient times

Objectives of the ActThe purpose of the Act is to provide forthe establishmentof the Commission

1 To prevent practices having adverse effect oncompetition

2 To promote and sustain competition in markets3 To protect the interests of consumers and4 To ensure freedom of trade carried on by other

participants in the markets in lndia

Suggestions1 Educate consumers to develop an understanding

about their responsibilities as consumers2 Consumers should come together to develop the

strength and influence to promote and protecttheir own interest

3 Government should make and implement rulesof punishment more severe so that manufacturerand shopkeeper think twice before adoptingfraudulent practices

4 A Campaign should be set in motion to involveevery consumer for making them more consciousand aware of their right and responsibilities

Thus Consumer protection is always a matter of greaterand graver concern ln ancient lndia effective measureswere initiated to protect consumers from crimes inthe market place ln ancient lndia the king was thesupreme authority to render justice but his authoritywas circumscribed by the rules of Dharma ln themedieval period some Muslim rulers developed wellorganized market mechanisms to monitor prices andthe supply of goods to the markets During the Britishperiod the modern legal system was introduced in lndiaand many laws were enacted to protect the interests ofconsumers generally Today the civil justice system istainted with deficiencies that discourage the consumerfrom seeking legal recourse However the ConsumerProtection Act of 1986 which provides easy access tojustice has brought a legal revolution to lndia as a result

14

of its cost-effective mechanisms and popular support To

conclude a few consumers were fully aware about therights responsibilities and Consumer Protection ActHence it is necessary to educate them on their rightsand responsibilities as consumers to make them vigilantrational and become conscious buyers

SO-CALLED PRESTICIOUSSOCIETY

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

DILEMMA

Oh That old man looks the sameThe Cockermouth poets leech-gatherer comes aliveA search aimed not at the leechesBut for some life-giving food piecesThat may extend his life for atleat a dayThe struggles with stray dogs and rats end in gayOn finding a half-bitten biscuitOr those overly cooked thrown awaysThe poor old man proceeds to another heapAnd this optimism of getting more keeps the man going

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

SO-CALLED PRESTICIOUSSOCIETY

He did not like his fathers idea of getting him a jobthrough some influential person But he thought that ifhe could get the job it will be helpful for his family Nowhe not only missed the job but also the money lt was notone or two paisa but four thousand in total

Only with his guilty conscience my father would haveaccepted this ln his sloth of youth and comfortablenessof his luxury he disdained all his neighbours He knewthat now nobody would give even a match stick to him

4trrv

range of

earth is

IT

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

He realized this fact at my sisters marriage itself He

thought of all these incidents and he did not want tospoil the future of his children as his life has been marred

in the belief of supposed rain and in chilly production So

he spent money and admitted his son in the MA course

But all his efforts had fell through

Until noq KR was not found anywhere The regret card

was received by us that morning and so we searched forhim thrice He was not available in the house and also in

the places where he usually visits lf I catch him

I would catch him by his shirt and abuse him with all

sorts of rubbish words He must be insulted in public and

driven out of the place He must be slapped and asked

for justice But this is not the right era for doing it He

was such an influential person ln front of him all these

virtues like literacy consideration and justice would go

in vain

Even father could not stand before this kind of hegemonicpowers Still I am able to remember the first meeting

Father went inside and wished him politely

Come in Sir What is the matter(KRs voice was

commanding due to his oratory skills on the stage)

He is my Son (He raised his head and glanced at him)

Come in boy what is your educational qualification

MA

l come here for his sake he finished his studies twoyears ago but still he did not get any job

So sad

Nowit is stated in the notice that they are giving

placements Please do me a favour

OKl will see to it boy without fail bring me a copy ofthe application tomorrow

(Then again father wished him kindly)

l believe only in you

Alrightl will take care

Afterthat father and KR went along with him to Madras

They took the taxi and first entered a good hotel and

then KR visited many persons on the way Altogether

the expense of the taxi and hotel came around four

hundred rupees On the second day evening KR asked

two thousand from the father for the purpose of bribingother persons and he said Even God grants the boon

Priest denies it

Father thought a bit and said after returning to his place

he will make arrangement for that

He was not able to get the money He thought of lending

his land But mother rose like Kali and shouted Then

on one day with full of tears she gave the rest of jewels

which remained after the sisters marriage After twomonths KR called them At that time there was no

other go father had to arrange for another two thousand

rupees So he happened to lend the land

shit

He climbed the stairs and rang the bell Even that time

she opened the door with some weeklies in her hand

On looking at him she adjusted her dress

Fathersomeone has come to see you (She wentinside)

Come in boy

Even though KR was not honest he had the same smile

on his face while inviting The boy showed the regret

card And he had no words to speak as he was in extremewrath but still he read KRs face

someone is behind this deed You do not worry I am

going to Madras this week I will see to it

How was he capable of telling lies with such a smile How

he had such a potential to cheat all the innocent fathers

Even after doing all sort of frauds he was able to walk

with pride because this is so called prestigious society

He shut the compound door with full force The dog

which was eating the food in the dust bin on the road

looked at him He did not care for it and he continued

to walk but all of a sudden he stopped at the particular

place He stumbled over a stone and picked it up and

hurled it at the dog Bow it ran quickly then hopped

and disappeared He could stone only these dogs

Only these dogs- Molon V Noroyonon

extraordinary love for numbers at the age of 3 she became

an expert in complex mental arithmetic at the age of five

On 18 June 1980 Shakuntala Devi gave the product oftwo thirteen digit figures after multiplying them within28 seconds Many countries have invited Shakuntala Devi

to demonstrate her extraordinary talent Today she isacclaimed as an accomplished mathematician

ln 1980 she gave the product of two thirteen digitnumbers within 28 seconds many countries have invitedher to demonstrate her extraordinary talent

ln Dallas she competed with a computer to see who give

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

1B

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Shakunatala Devi is a well-known mathematicalgenius and

calculating progidy from lndia She has been nicknamed

1B

Human Computer because of her extraordinary talentand skill in solving complex mathematical problemswithout any mechanical aid Shakuntalas father was a

circus artiste and it was he who introduced Shakuntalato the world of mathematics through card tricksShakuntalas amazing memory power was tapped whichthen led herto develop an extraordinary love for numbersat the tender age of three

Gradually over the years Shakuntalas memorizingand calculating skills were strengthened whilst shesimultaneously became an expert in complex mentalarithmetic Beginning at the University of Mysore andthe Annamalai University Shakuntalas public displaysof her extraordinary abilities and talents even spreadto institutions worldwide bewildering the crowdedgathering of students and professors alike ln her timeolder calculating prodigies like Truman Henry Saffordwere also present yet Shakuntala started displayingher talents from a very young age With her brilliantmind Shakuntala Devi was adept at solving arithrneticalp roblems includ ing fu nctions of add ition m u lti plicationdivision calculating square and cube roots along withcomplex algorithms and Vedic Maths She could evenstate the day of the week of any given date in the lastcentury in a jiffy Shakuntala could even outdo some ofthe fastest available computers of that period Amongsther numerous feats the most outstanding ones thatfetched her name in the 1995 Guinness Book of WorldRecords are

ln January 977 al the Southern Methodist Universityin Dallas Texas Shakuntala Devi extracted the 23rd rootof a 201-digit number at the fifty-second mark withthe correct answer being54637289L She had beatenthe fastest computer UNIVACs time of 62 seconds and13000 instructions

On 18th june 1980 Shakuntala Devi demonstrated themultiplication oftwo 13-digitnumbers7 68636977 487 0x 2465099745779 picked randomly by the ComputerDepartment of lmperial College London She producedt h e correct a n swe r of 189 4766817 79954264627 7 3

Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 inunder a minute

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Today Shakunatala Devi is an accomplished mathematicianwhose interests also include the mystic field of AstrologyWhile setling up of several mathematics research centersare her future plans Shakuntala Devi has also writtenn umerous books some of which are - Puzzles to Puzzle You

Fun with Numbers Astrology for you and Mathablity

Shakuntala Devi is generally known as aHuman Computerbecause of her extraordinary talents in solving complexmathematical problems without any mechanical aid Shealso found her place in the Guinness book of recordsas a result of her extraordinary talents Nowadays apartfrom solving mathematical problems she is utilizing heramazing talent in the field of astrology

She adds a L6-digit number with another one andmultiplies the result with an equal array of numbersalmost instantaneously finds the cube root of theresultant and pops up with an answer in just about thetime taken for a wink Humanly not possible as even toask the question would in its shortest possibility take a

minute Rated as one in 58 million for her stupendousmathematicalfeats by one of the fastest super-computersever invented - - the Univac-1l08 - - Shakuntala Devi is agenius par excellence

She is a human computer with a brain that can work outa 23rd root of a 20L-digit number in 12 seconds less thanthe Univac-1108 will be a gross understatement Butperhaps there isnt any better title for a person for whomsolving complex mathematical problems is childs play

Doubling up as an astrologer in her spare time ShakuntalaDevi equates the science of foretelling to mathematicsAstrology and mathematics are so analogous

ln fact they are complementary to each other as bothdeal in numbers she says The prodigious expert whohails from a simple orthodox Kannada Brahmin familyis interestingly a culinary expert too l have authoredmany books on cookery she says modestly

A Guinness record holder sexagenarian Devi inspiresawe in many but remains unsurpassable in her own fieldof numbers Call her a mathematician extraordinaire or amathemagician she modestly accepts her ignorance touse a computer Believe it or not I have never learntto use an abacus she says in a hushed tone Godsgift A divine quality is how Devi accredits her uniquedistinction that began showing visibility since the age ofthree She informs that none in her family showed anysigns of the same head for figures Not even remotelyalthough my dad was a stage magician she adds

Mathematical feats which are even beyond a normalhuman brain to comprehend are solved by her soeffortlessly that pitting her brain against the fastestmainframes and super computers and beating themalmost always has become an intense passion with herAstounding scientists and academicians all around theworld with her remarkable feats the maths wizard is now

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

4 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A family has several children Each boy in this familyhas as many sisters as brothers but each girl has sisters

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

here in our very own Hyderabad and has expressed her

desire to set up a Maths varsity here which would carryon her legacy of popularising mathematics amongpeople

l have asked the chief minister for a grant of L00 acres

land for the University and he has approved of the idea

Shakuntala Devi claims l will force juvenile delinquentschild labourers and child beggars to join my academy so

that they can also become Nobel laureates one day she

dreams as her eyes gleam in excitement about the wholeproject

l just pray that I can finish offthe entire project beforemy death ln a way the varsity which I propose to startwill be a global seat of learning for mathematics and willbe my humble contribution to the world Devi gushes

adding that the emphasis will be on Vedic mathematicsso that the glorious tradition of lndian mathematics is

preserved

For a person so passionate about numbers who has

never had any formal education how does it feel tohave wor nanV accolades and teach mathematicalshortcuts to eminent experts God has given me thisquality for the benefit of others the purpose of my lifuis to make people especially children enjoy Maths as an

affable and an joyful experience she concludes

SOME OF THE PUZZLES OF

SHAKUNTALA DEVI

1 A PROBLEI1OF COMBINATIONA box contains 12 marbles of three different coloursgreen yellow and blue-4 each lf you were to close your

eyes and pick them at random how many marbles must

take out to be sure that there are atleast two of one

colour among the marbles picked out

Answerln the first three pickings you may get one of each colour

on the fourth pick there will be atleast two of one color

Therefore the answer is 4

2 THE SPECIAL NUMBERThere is a number whose double is greater than its half

by 45Can you find that number

AnswerAs the difference between twice the number and half of

it amounts to 45or half of the number plus the whole ofits represented by 1 adds up to 45

t2+=I2+212=32=45

Now we have to find what number 32 is equal of 45Jodo this we invert 32to 23 and multiply by 45This gives

us

21345=30

Therefore the number is 30

3 THE DIG ITAL GAMEThere is a number the second digit of which is smallerthan its first digit by 4 and if the number was divided by

the number

AnswerThe number is 84

twice as many brothers as sisters How many brothersand sisters are there

AnswerSince the boys have as many brothers as sisters theremust be 1 boy more than the number of girls lf we try2 and 13 and 2and 4 and 3we will find that 4 boys and

3 girls is the solution to fulfill the requirement that eachgirl has twice as many brothers as sisters

5 THE PECULIAR NUMBERThere is a number which is very peculiar

is three times the sum of its digits Can

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

engaged to marry Siamala a beautiful fair and tall girl

-ta is very clever and practical in doing things So --geously she takes steps to build a new house with- savings of her husband and mother-in-law who used e money selling her goats Somehow they managed ild a new concrete house and Siamala even changed-= mpty courtyard into a beautiful garden of coconuts plantain trees and some flowering plants On seeing-^ sudden transformations some of her neighbours sed her cleverness boldness but there are some

= ives in that village burnt them with their eyes filled jealousy in spite of being rich particularly their next-r man and woman always pick up quarrel with them- no reasons and sometimes for petty reasons This

- -gams family is filled with happiness and it ran-rothly for some years Siamala gives birth to two- dren Anu and Bala Education in that family enters r this younger generation Lingam and Kokila are so-py to see Anu and Bala going school After some s Siamala gets into some company as a daily wager to- rage the finance of her family very soon she fills her- -lse with all modern equipments and electronic items- gam who cannot express his feelings and affections- rough words becomes slave and dependent to his wife-ext to his mother He feels satisfied and his life becomes-eaningful with his wife and children

J rfortunately this happiness and satisfaction doesrot last long in his life One mid day unexpectedly toveryones surprise Siamala elopes with a person whovorks along with her in that company While elopingsre took the ration card the savings of her husband andnother-in-law and also her children Kokila and Lingamare extremely depressed and brewed her elopement

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

THE ALCHEMY CALLED MARRIACE

Rajee had giddiness when she woke up in the morningHer head weighed as if it carried the globe This sensationwas the indication of headache

Rajee took the ribbon near the mirror and tied it tightlyaround her head Pressing her cheeks deeply in thepillow she laid down to her left She took another pillownear her leg and held it with her hands on her face

Her mother cried What is this you are doing in theearly morning She knows what it is But she has to askWithout answering Rajee closed her eyes

One day or other you are going to suffocate and die

Not a curse but mother rebuked Though she thoughtshe was speaking severely there would always be somesoftness in it She would give advance to her servantmaid saying You will never pay back the money Butshe is so kind and has never reduced the salary

tVhat is this Rajee im shouting and you

leadache mom

ou are a girl to be married and you complain of your-eadache taking away the pillow she examined her-ead with her hand

shing her moms hand aside Rajee turned back

- ive minutes there came a strong coffee you havent rrshed your teeth Its ok Drink

Sre felt comfortable when she stretched her arms after- nking coffee She felt that her mothers care woulde her headache But she has decided to bunk her officey so that she need not shout hello throughout the An unspeakable comfort would come if she takes a- vater bath after 1030 am Ecstasy in moms spicym What is it in these tablets a drowsy feeling

- c as sudden Rajee thought of her would be -- arajan Her inner voice said Comradel Do you get ^ or sorrow

^cne thought that Varadarajan had an iron body-- he fainted in a hunger strike Then he didnt knowcs or labor party Only his humanism urged him toltustice A woman employee on her maternity leave

had a miscarriage So the officers had sanctioned herleave under loss of pay Varadarajan wanted to voice thisinjustice

Why are you bothered about womans leave theymocked at him

lf you want you can go to court they were adamantA few voiced for the strike Fourth day afternoon hefainted in the strike Doctors came and diagnosed hiscritical condition which was due to acetone secretionThey were angry with him for his silence How he didntknow That much pain would have troubled his stomachHis pain would have made him feel as if the abdomentissues were tightening Didnt he tell

He didnt even murmur doctorl

Rajee wept for his heart which withheld pain She wasthrilled What sort of a heart is thisl A man who wasready to die for others ls he a man

Dont make me an idol and pray lm just a human Lookhere I could wink my eyes my legs are in the floor mybody sweats said Varadarajan

l couldnt bear even a headache How could you bearsuch a pain

Have you read BharathiyarT

Ya Has he talked about medicine

lle quotes from Bharathi

l osked for o ball-like flexibte physicAnd on un-desiring heart

Dont cheat me Speak the truth

lts all about mind Rajee lf we think we cant bear painwe would die even if a stone pricks lf you do somethingfor someone else you could laugh even at the time ofdeath

Rajee learned to laugh which culminated in love Lovewith one condition She should call him as comrade evenafter marriage

They married

Comrades world is big But home is small She hacjheadache on the very day she entered her in-laws homels lt due to tiredness or jasmine smell or due to tensionin a new place She does not know Her silk sari madehel sluffv Her thishs waist armpits were irritatine withTTamil poet

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

ENLICHTENMENT AT LASTI

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

sweat lt would be comfortable if she could wear a thinhouse coat and sleep while drying her wet hair

It is possible if it were her moms place But whatwould mother-in-law think if she wears house coat on

the first day itself She didnt know if she should seekpermission

Without any thought she went inside the bathroom and

washed her face The chill feel was good She continuedto sprinkle water on her face Water droplets fell fromher brows and dripped through her nose Her sari got

wet near her neck

When she changed her clothes her mother-in-law said

Cant you be in sari for some time at least today We

may have some guests

Mom I washed my face and my sari got wet Rajee

said

You answer back immediately said mother-in-law At

that moment Rajee decided not to speak in that house

even at the cost of her life

Varadarajan didnt stop his speeches ln trade union

meeting party office political stage he continued to talk

lf not in such serious meetings at least he would speak

with some guests near his house Expect in his sleep he

continued to speak Speech made him fly high Gave him

a permanent seat in a big regional union head

Headache broke her skull lt cant be cured with a ribbon

or a coffee or an ointment Now-a-days the pain is severe

Nerves in the brain turned into worms She felt like hittingher head with a grinding stone

But cant sleep now Varadarajan was getting ready

somewhere in the early morning lt must be an importantmeeting somewhere Couldnt talk for two days lf she

misses even today then there wont be a next chance

Not for her For others

Mind matters We would die if it is for us We could

laugh at the death bed if it is for others cause

Varadarajans words that taught her to laugh gave her

life

Rajee managed to get up Called him comrade he

turned

Comrade just a minute

Yeah Rajee

Govind has put his hand into the machine

shit when

Two days back There is a problem now

What

The company wont give compensation it seems

Because he is a casual labour

Thats illegal

l think yolr can talk to the authorities

How could l lm not in the union

Friendship is different from that of a union

Comrade ls it you You were about to die when you

voiced for Visalatchi is that for the union or for her

Then I was a single man Now lve a wife and a familySo

Risk in my office would reflect in my family I dont wantthat to happen

You dont know Not only the labours but the party is

also in the union ln fact the party is our leader now I

cant do anything against the party

You could speak against your boss but you cant speak

against your party

lts true

He went down the stairs as a shadow in the dawn Whathas changed this man who was ready to die for injustice

Marriage changes the bold men into cowards and softgirls into stones her heart murmured Rajee couldntignore it

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

has collected for that day Kokila serves him gruel andsome green chilies if available otherwise not Lingam is a

daily wagel does all kinds of meager jobs like working at

the construction sites weeding planting and harvestingpaddies in the nearby lands He is such an enthusiasticman of 32 dislikes to stay at home lazily or to while awayhis time unnecessarily during working hours Whicheverdistance might be Lingam never boards bus to reach his

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

-ela her husband and her mother-in-law On her (okila begin to enjoy her old age after shifting her- r reurosponsibilities to Siamala

-ta is very clever and practical in doing things So --geously she takes steps to build a new house with- savings of her husband and mother-in-law who used e money selling her goats Somehow they managed ild a new concrete house and Siamala even changed-= mpty courtyard into a beautiful garden of coconuts plantain trees and some flowering plants On seeing-^ sudden transformations some of her neighbours sed her cleverness boldness but there are some

= ives in that village burnt them with their eyes filled jealousy in spite of being rich particularly their next-r man and woman always pick up quarrel with them- no reasons and sometimes for petty reasons This

n is always seen restless without enduring Lingams-ily progress

- -gams family is filled with happiness and it ran-rothly for some years Siamala gives birth to two- dren Anu and Bala Education in that family enters r this younger generation Lingam and Kokila are so-py to see Anu and Bala going school After some s Siamala gets into some company as a daily wager to- rage the finance of her family very soon she fills her- -lse with all modern equipments and electronic items- gam who cannot express his feelings and affections- rough words becomes slave and dependent to his wife-ext to his mother He feels satisfied and his life becomes-eaningful with his wife and children

J rfortunately this happiness and satisfaction doesrot last long in his life One mid day unexpectedly toveryones surprise Siamala elopes with a person whovorks along with her in that company While elopingsre took the ration card the savings of her husband andnother-in-law and also her children Kokila and Lingamare extremely depressed and brewed her elopement

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

JANAM (PEOPLE)AKBAR KAKKATTIL

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

The car is moving fast Nothing was felt other than themurmuring of the wind Suddenly a frightened voice

from behind Brake Brake When looked in front lsee a

bus coming very fast towards us lt is me who drives thecarl put brake Then I dont know how the driver whowas sitling behind reached the front

He had been sayingGiving accelerator instead ofpressing the brake Somehow he managed to push meto side and took control of the car and turned to left

The hitting of the vehicle against something and thecclllapse of something was the next thing I came to knowEyes are filled with darkness The colour of that darknesswas red at first lt had been changing its colour into blackthen again to red in a frightening speed When I openedmy eyes again everything around me was jumping inunclear shapes Yes now I am taking breath Yes so past

in a lightening speed was the bus seen early

Are you all right Are you alright Driver asks His voicewas shaky His eyes were thrusted out unusually

The thing which I wanted to ask was also the same The

entire body was shivering and sweating Both of themwere panting by looking face to face

Luckily nothing happened to both of us Damage wasonly for the building at that junction and also to the car

The front and the left side of the car have become like a

crumpled powder tin The dented bonnet is full of stonesand soil

When the panting is over we reached to normalcy Nowthe driver is trying to move the vehicle Oh Yes ltsmoving He moved back the vehicle and parked it Somemore soil and stones fell off from the car

Crowds on all the four sides How did people weregathered in a short time I dont remember whether I

saw any one here before I thought that people are hidingsome where expecting some danger

Dont tell that you where learning driving I will tell itlater Driver didnt forget to warn me even if he wasconfused

I looked around with fear Many necks that have headsat the end are looking inside the car Every eye is seemedthrusting unusually

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

DILEMMA

Oh That old man looks the sameThe Cockermouth poets leech-gatherer comes aliveA search aimed not at the leechesBut for some life-giving food piecesThat may extend his life for atleat a dayThe struggles with stray dogs and rats end in gayOn finding a half-bitten biscuitOr those overly cooked thrown awaysThe poor old man proceeds to another heapAnd this optimism of getting more keeps the man going

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Anything serious One head asked

No Nothing serious

Ohl What a scene was that First lthought that nothingwould remain

Did he speak it with a disappointment Has he hoped ofgetting at least a single dead body

Luck Another man said He can be identified easilyom the crowd A fat man But a part of that shop I

ointed to that shop in confusion

lo probleml lt can be repaired by 500 Rupees ThankGod Nothing happened to men

-re words of the fat man that the problem can be solved 500 Rs gave me relief For our luck no serious damageas happened tb that shop lt can be repaired with some-inimal work But how much money will be needed toepair the car and make it as before Any way hat is only^e secondary matter lt can be considered later First I

-ave to escape from here3ut how did it happen lt is the fatty man himself

3ecame wonder stuck when I heard the explanation of^e driver How indecently they came even without a

gnal Dont they remember that it is a turning When- e said that I thought that he would have killed him if heg him in his hand now

len though the driver didnt say anything directly thecrvd got the following message from his words On our e there is not even a single mistake

les rightBus was in a high speed I did see that whatculd be the result if people drive a vehicle like this in-ls kind of turning Some one added ltried to smile atat God who came in the form of a man

Consider it as a blessing of God lf the car was dashedagainst ihe busl An old man cannot even continue afterhat Nothing happened to this people it itself is a greatring Fat man reminded

a nd the driver got out from the car in relief The shiveringlas not stopped even though it has decreased a little

t is the shop of Kuttiyali Mappilahe does not open itfcr the last some timeThinking to rebuild itEveningst becomes the camp of youthYou are lucky as it is

nidday Otherwiseyou are blessed ones1 Some bodyras saying

What do you want to drink lt is the fat fellow Beforesaying something itself somebody brought us two glassesof tea

I thought How good are these people How lovable andaffectionate are these villagers That is why everybodyuses the phrase beloved villagers

I was also thinking on which weak moment that I thoughtof learning driving Was there any need for it at the ageof 40 After hecame some what matured why did thisstrong desire catch me without leaving lt is true that I

felt inferiority complex when the guys who do not haveeven half of my age driving cars and two wheelers As I

was born as the only one of my parents they did not allowme to learn allthat fearing that something will happen tome The idea of learning it in secret by disobeying themalso didnt work because of my devotion to my parents I

was growing without knowing how to ride even a bicycleWasnt that kind of state needed to be continued But when father had his first heart attack in mid nightln neighbouring house there is car But driver has goneearly I had to get him to drive the car At that day I

thought a lot if I knew driving

It is not because of that I have a car or have facilities forthat I simply thought that it is better to learn these typesof things at least now When I asked to the friend in theneighourhood he sent me one car and the driver

I was in the happy mood because I have almost learntdrivingThen see what is happened now Didnt I drivethe car 10-15kms Smoothly Wasnt it on the intentionthat matters became somewhat OK that the driverseated behind me to give me confidence Are all thesehappened because I lost my presence of mind at somemoment Any way driving is not apt for people like meDid my parents know it Nothing bad happened to thembecause they didnt know driving

Now the people have made us to sit on the veranda of thenear by shop Somebody has gone to call the shop ownerCases or things like that is not needed two labourers maybe needed to repair the part of the shop that is brokenThe problem can be solved by giving the money for thatThe people said like that Frequently they were praisingus by saying that we are lucky men

It was in the midst of a lot of financial problems that I

managed to get some money to fill petrol and ali Nowshop repairing car repairing Even if all these troublesare there I still felt that there is no need to loose thechance to evaluate himself as a lucky man

E

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

As lucky man my self I returned looks on them who look

at me as a luckY man

When people moved I understood that the owner has

reached A figure that is thin like a thread Bald head A

shawl on the shoulder

After examining the demolished part of the shop

Kuttiyalikka stood at a corner He is surrounded by

people

Mappile lt was teaching driving Somebody told to

Kuttiyalikka

I got scared a lot and looked the driver Driver is looking

at me

Consider it as your fait He continues by looking

Kuttiyalikka What would be the situation if you were

there at the shoP at that time

Kuttiyalikka doesnt say anything he is serious But I got

relieved when I saw the fat fellow who was there from

the beginning walking towards Kuttyalikka

But

Fat man said Court and case are not needed Let them

give 5000Rs Then we can solve the problemWhat do

you say KuttYalikka

I became Pale

lmmediately Kuttiyalikka laughed making hee hee sound

li is difficult to believe that it is the same person who was

seen serious earlY

Learning driving in midday What would be the situation

if it has hit on some person Could you two people sit

here like a mail box Come Kuttiyalikka We have to

think about a matter

A person went down to the lane by holding the hands of

Kuttiyalikka two persons followed them

I and the driver looked face to face The things are likely

to be changed ls that decreased shivering comes back a

little by little

Time is passing People are murmuring Kuttiyalikka and

group havent come back from the lane

Suddenly two young men came and called us friendly to

the backside of the shoP

Now the situation has been changed lt is 7500 they are

going to demand Dont give it up lf they want to file a

case let them do that Maximum 150 dont gve more

than that

The long nosed Young man said

Police may be with them but we are with you the

second young man

I didnt say anything I was about to faint Shivering was

getting increased

When we just came back to the veranda of the shop one

middle aged person called us to tell something in secret

He said like murmuring l think they are going to ask

10000It is the plan of their cast peopleThey are such

cultureless peoPle

This sir is also the member of the same cast group

I dont know whether the driver said this out of his

innocence or as a wav of escape

Oh is it like that He said it with a smile Then I will

help you We got a chance to confront them with a

person from there own group But you have to do what

we are saying

When I walked back I felt more shivering than I felt when

the accident took place At that time Kuttiyalikka and the

dear villagerswere coming towards us They are seemed

to be saying fairlY good bad words

Shivering is increasing Panting No feeling suffocation

See again everything around us are jumping as unclear

figures Eyes are filling with darkness First black then

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

A TRANSLATION OFVINDHANS TRIPTI

WHERE IS THE PERSON WITH A

CONTENTED MIND

An acquaintance Nat (pronnut) - do not think thatsteak here of nuts and bolts lt refers to the name

laiesan that has been constricted to the most conciseo-n by the acquaintance

i-he reason being that he started writing poems in Englishrninking that it was below his dignity to write poems in-amil even though he was born in Tamil Nadul

icnsequentially he not only got English friends but alsoi-glish currency such as the pound shilling and pence- oienty

i he had an uncontrollable desire of bagging forat least once the Nobel Prize - the prize that had thepower of introducing him to the whole world in just a

ray So whenever the Nobel Prize season was around itbecame habitual for him to eagerly await the prize andget disappointed after the wait

One day our friend Nat came along saying l want ahouse a big one showing his arms extended wide

lts just the four of you isnt it Doesnt the house inwhich you live at present suffice

lts not for us that I ask Bhatt a friend in London haswritten to me that he is visiting lndia this Spring Makinguse of this rare opportunity I think of inviting to him fora banquet one of these days The house in which I staynow wouldnt be worthy of it Thats why

l heard that a bungalow is vacant on Box Road Come inthe evening if you wish well go and have a look at itsaid l

He moved on after politely saying Thanks - Just a

lip service

For such people isnt that what they call manners

Just as said Mr Nat came that evening along with hisdaughter Winter The three of us reached Box road Onthe Vuay Mr Nat asked me Have you got the keys

Oh yes lve got them said l

The bungalow certainly was good to look aU but it hadan eastward entrance

A southward entrance would have been better was thefirst of Mr Nats complaints which also served as his firstremark

An eastward entrance is also good said l

A neem at the entrance Pipal tree would have beenspecial

No problem You can bring a pipal tree once you shiftin herel

What do you think the breadth of this house wouldbe

why

lf it is 25 feet long the wife may die it seems sir

Dont worry sir it wont be less than 30 feet

What about the length

May be 44 feet

Oh no We may lose our eyesight it seemsl

Ah Dangerous for sure Wait a bi| lll measure it withmy hands said l and after measuring it I said Exactly

forty-two l

Good The sastras say that the Ashta Lakshmi-s willdwell in the house

l hadnt expected in the least that you who follow theEnglish style lock stock and barrel would have so muchfaith in our sastras

lnclude me in the list of those who wear the nqamomon their foreheads along with a hat on their heads saidhe laughing

I opened the door laughing in return

The staircase is in the hall thats good

Thank goodness you did not say it would be better if itwere behind

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

ENLICHTENMENT AT LASTI

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

They have placed the two windows facing the south

but couldnt they have them bigger

They could have Well

lf they had put up Bombay terrace instead of Madras

terrace these trees would not have been jarring on the

eyes

Hmm Well

There are many more faults yet

At this juncture his child Winter came running to him

and said Oh Daddy Daddy I like this house very much

daddy Look at the staircase over there I will hide under

the dome of the staircase and brother Monsoon willnever find me out daddyl she said merrily

Look at that sir You had so many complaints about this

house but your daughter doesnt seem to find even one

just the space under the staircase makes her say l like

the whole house very much with satisfaction said I

That was it Excellent idea brilliant idea cried the poet

Nat jumping up and down sPrightlY

What has happened to you sir asked l unable to

comprehend anything

Undoubtedly the Nobel Prize is mine this year said

the poet giving a sprightly jump once again

Get it when it comes why do you have to jump up and

down for it right away said l

U dont realize sirl lts just because such an idea hadnt

struck me till now that I havent got the Nobel Prize which

I should have won long ago Finally isnt it because of rny

darling that this idea has struck me said Mr Nat iifting

up the child and starting to shower kisses on it

What is so special about that idea which has struck you

all of a sudden sir

Man is greedy He is never content with what he gets He

keeps yearning for the unattainable all the more saying

Ohl I didnt get this or Ohl I didnt get that but look at

children - they are satisfied with anything that they get

- stones sand a corner behind a door a space under a

staircase - anythingl Keeping this marvelous idea as the

core if I compose an extraordinary poern who else willget the Noble Prize other than me sir said he with an

air of pride and majestY

Thank yourlucky stars sir Dont tell this idea to any

other poet just as you told me now he may outstripyou I warned him

Yes and you dont tell this out to anyone else before I

finish writing this poem warned he in return and wentaway

Four or five months later I went to the beach and was

returning by the poet Nats house

The poet was standing at the entrance gazing at the

skies

Hello mister Nat Have you finished writing the poem

asked l speaking to him due to the force of habit

Oh ls it you sir Welcome I Just 4 stanzas are remaining

Even now I was thinking of it sir I keep on thinking aboutjust that sir said he

Pardon me sir I have come at the wrong time and have

become a hindrance to your imagination said l excusing

myself and walking further

At that time his wife came there along with the child

Winter who was wailing Did you ask her what her

problem is said his wife laughing

What happened to my darling said the poet as he

lovingly embraced his sweet child who had sown the

seed for his Nobel Prize

We must get her the moon which is up there in the sky

only then will she eat it seems

That was it As if struck by a bolt out of the blue thepoet Nat suddenly put the child down and hurriedly

went inside He brought the unfinished poem out tore itinto bits and flung them away Alasl All my efforts have

gone in vain How greedy children are They too yearn

for the unattainable just like nten l-1ereafter no Nobel

Prize dreams Not for me said he with a sigh

lsnt it human offspring after ali Seems like greed

catches up with it right at birthl said land moved on

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

The concept of work will be redefined as employeesuse portable wireless tools to communicate fromany location For business investment in technologywill be offset by substantial savings on traditionaloverhead expenses such as leases property taxes andfacilities maintenance Ubiquitous wireless connectivitywill permit people to easily collaborate with theircolleagues Advanced electronic communication deviceswill eliminate traditional time distance and languagebarriers facilitating communication and preventing lags inproduction A greater numberof people willtelecommuteto work There will be increased telecommuting in thecoming decade While technology will make employeesmore flexible it doesnt appear people will work fewerhours While employees will be expected to stay moreconnected with the office while on vacation

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

Starrer Rab De Banadi Jodi

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

expect

will take an increasingly entrepreneurial approach totheir jobs and careers Those most successful will possess

knowledge of business management principles technicalaptitude sophisticated i nterpersona I ski lls (or emotiona I

intelligence) and an almost intuitive understanding ofthe needs of an organization As more functions becomeautomated the importance of using interpersonal skillsto anticipate needs respond to concerns and provide a

human touch that computers lack will be paramount

New skill sets ond responsibilities to advance theircareers administrative professionals will pursue

business-focused training that emphasizes negotiationsdelegation budgeting supervision and planning skillsOther useful knowledge areas include library sciencefor organizing and storing text and data used by groups

Speciolized roles the administrative professional will bea specialist rather than a generalist wi job descriptionsfocusing on the technical and managerial aspects of day-to-day business operations

De m o n strqted exp e ri e n ce Adm i nistrative professionals

will need to demonstrate to potential employersconcrete evidence of specialized skills and abilities suchas technical expertise and industry experience lt willresult to improve in efficiency of Human Resources

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

able to create new products and services and identifymore efficient ways to work will be among the mostmarketable as innovation continues to drive businessHence geographic location will matter less as businessesshift human and material resources around the globe inresponse to market opportunities Companies will dependon temporary instant plug and play offices that can beestablished wherever needed - in commercial spacesthat are fully wired and readily adaptable to the needs ofbusiness tenants for example

The concept of work will be redefined as employeesuse portable wireless tools to communicate fromany location For business investment in technologywill be offset by substantial savings on traditionaloverhead expenses such as leases property taxes andfacilities maintenance Ubiquitous wireless connectivitywill permit people to easily collaborate with theircolleagues Advanced electronic communication deviceswill eliminate traditional time distance and languagebarriers facilitating communication and preventing lags inproduction A greater numberof people willtelecommuteto work There will be increased telecommuting in thecoming decade While technology will make employeesmore flexible it doesnt appear people will work fewerhours While employees will be expected to stay moreconnected with the office while on vacation

The concept of emotional intelligence will grow inprominence lt enables people to interact well withthose around them respond to others needs andadapt to a rapidly changing business environment Themost important skills and abilities for administrativeprofessionals can be summed up with the acronymACTION This stands for Analysis Collaboration andTechnical aptitude intuifion ongoing education andnegotiation The multifaceted roles professionalswill play in the next decade the current designationadministrative assistant may not be sufficient toconvey the scope and depth of their skills and expertiseAs a result new titles that reflect greater specializationwill emerge

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

A DAY IN PONDICHERRUNIVERSITY

Browsing in 23 MBPS internet line for the whole nightmade me woke a little late (in my context)9 AM Watchingthrough the window with perfectly maintained designergardens I slowly rose from bed thinking of breakfast

Tusher cooled water and bread quenched my hunger

Being a holiday I thought of just roaming aroundUniversity When I touched my purse I rememberedthat Rs 2000 was there in my purse which I received as

Mess Subsidy through University After my deodorantbath I took a University Bicycle (Blue colour which is

easy to pedal) and zigzagged to library thinking of thecompletion date of construction of Swimming Pool and

State of the art Cricket Stadium

After a usual Salaam at Vinayagar Temple I entered thelibrary took a novel and came out for Kulfi in Ponliit and

took comfortable seat in one of the newly built shelteropposite to Indian Bank Looking at the diversifiedpeople passing by even Sherlock Holmes seems less

interesting

Glancing at the digital printed boards hoardinginformation Animals I Birds Snakes in the campusat various viewpoints I reached Shopping Complex ofUniversity and took accoutre from in-house laundryshop

Being a part of Department of Management Studieswe give attention to detail and keep time at every possible

instant At the strike of 1 PM I moved to Le Cabana a

budget canteen near our department The person who

served food (self served) had an excitement of doing itto future CEO Entrepreneurs whatever the position

which the university has contributed a lot in its journey

I was on autopilot to state of the art Auditorium for a

conference after checking out mails in University Post

Office After the cool breeze informative session we weregiven Samosa and Tea (l was there only for the session)

resulted in cancellation of Evening Snack in the Science

and Humanities Canteen

Oh My god lwas 15 minutes late to the Gym near ourHostel which made my punctuality at stake (my lateness

will not exceed 5 minutes) 1 pumped out some iron

looking at me a thousand times in the mirror and wentforMovie Club for watching (movie only) Sharukh Khan

MY SAVIOUR

I was afraid and cried out who are you

The voice replied l am your saviour and

I will always be withyouIt quenched my thirsi and inner longingAll of a sudden all around me were green pastures

It was a resurrection from the grave

I felt happy and relieved

My saviour gave me life in abundance

And now there is a light that leads me on

And thats you lln my olden days I was an adventurerI set out to find the silver and gold mines

ln the wilderness of my heartI was all surrounded by sand dunes

Oh then I lost my path

The scorching sun and intense thirstMade me tired and sick at heartI looked around in expectancyI searched and searched someone to console me

Tired I sat down and sank into despair

ln fear and hope I prayed to the Lord

Then I heard a voice l will console you

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Ad mi nistrative Professiona ls

With the transformation of the workplace the role ofadministrative professionals will continue to evolveTrajectorythat began within the last 20 years as secretariesturned into administrative professionals careerswithin this field will become increasingly complex andspecialized Many positions will require sophisticated skillsets and experience in specific areas such as technologyhuman resources and business processes Here areseveral key trends that administrative professionals can

expect

E ntre p re ne u ri o I a p p rooch Admi nistrative professionals

will take an increasingly entrepreneurial approach totheir jobs and careers Those most successful will possess

knowledge of business management principles technicalaptitude sophisticated i nterpersona I ski lls (or emotiona I

intelligence) and an almost intuitive understanding ofthe needs of an organization As more functions becomeautomated the importance of using interpersonal skillsto anticipate needs respond to concerns and provide a

human touch that computers lack will be paramount

New skill sets ond responsibilities to advance theircareers administrative professionals will pursue

business-focused training that emphasizes negotiationsdelegation budgeting supervision and planning skillsOther useful knowledge areas include library sciencefor organizing and storing text and data used by groups

desktop publishing for the creation of newsletterspresentation materials and other corporate documentsand electronic communications an emerging fieldwhich concerned security and integrity of electronicallytransmitted information

Speciolized roles the administrative professional will bea specialist rather than a generalist wi job descriptionsfocusing on the technical and managerial aspects of day-to-day business operations

De m o n strqted exp e ri e n ce Adm i nistrative professionals

will need to demonstrate to potential employersconcrete evidence of specialized skills and abilities suchas technical expertise and industry experience lt willresult to improve in efficiency of Human Resources

The future office will be increasingly mobile and flexibleas companies swiftly assemble the resources necessaryto meet changing business needs Core teams willmanage employees working from diverse locations -from home offices to temporary business spaces to cafesA premium will be placed on staff members who possess

a combination of technical and interpersonal skillsand can adapt quickly to change A professional who is

able to create new products and services and identifymore efficient ways to work will be among the mostmarketable as innovation continues to drive businessHence geographic location will matter less as businessesshift human and material resources around the globe inresponse to market opportunities Companies will dependon temporary instant plug and play offices that can beestablished wherever needed - in commercial spacesthat are fully wired and readily adaptable to the needs ofbusiness tenants for example

The concept of work will be redefined as employeesuse portable wireless tools to communicate fromany location For business investment in technologywill be offset by substantial savings on traditionaloverhead expenses such as leases property taxes andfacilities maintenance Ubiquitous wireless connectivitywill permit people to easily collaborate with theircolleagues Advanced electronic communication deviceswill eliminate traditional time distance and languagebarriers facilitating communication and preventing lags inproduction A greater numberof people willtelecommuteto work There will be increased telecommuting in thecoming decade While technology will make employeesmore flexible it doesnt appear people will work fewerhours While employees will be expected to stay moreconnected with the office while on vacation

The concept of emotional intelligence will grow inprominence lt enables people to interact well withthose around them respond to others needs andadapt to a rapidly changing business environment Themost important skills and abilities for administrativeprofessionals can be summed up with the acronymACTION This stands for Analysis Collaboration andTechnical aptitude intuifion ongoing education andnegotiation The multifaceted roles professionalswill play in the next decade the current designationadministrative assistant may not be sufficient toconvey the scope and depth of their skills and expertiseAs a result new titles that reflect greater specializationwill emerge

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

Administrative personnel

r frture administrative personnel will likely fulfill manythe functions identified below

)scurce Coordinotor Virtual offices that employ - rerous contract workers will rely heavily on individualsdept at bringing togefhr the right human resources for given project - much like movie producers assembling cast camera crew and production team

ltflow Controller This individual will serve as- ssion control for an organization Whereas the5ource coordinator will assemble project teams the- rkflow controller will ensure these professionals have-e support and resources required to do theirjobs Thissition also will facilitate interaction among teams andtrdinate the transfer and use of company resources-h as computers communications equipment andrer technological tools ln smaller organizations the3 me person may perform workflow control and resource ordination

owledge Monager ln the more fluid and project_ esed office of the future this central figure will serve as repository of institutional information history and bestactices The knowledge manager will ensure continuityrd consistency and help new employees and projectrofessionals adapt to the organizations culture lnCdition the knowledge manager will perform a functionsmilar to that of a librarian assisting people in locatinghe documents or data necessary to perform to performneir jobs

klecommuting Liaison As the number of off-site workersncreases companies will designate a teleeuroommuteriaison to connect remote workers with each otherand management This position will work with seniorTanagement to develop telecommuting policiesincluding helping to determine which positions are suitedfor off-site work

Virtual-Meetings Orgonizer This person will helpemployees schedule conferences and set up thenecessary equipment The virtual-meetings organizerwill be technically proficient and trained in the use ofadvance equipment

ln this respect for making oneself more capable in thefuture work place needs to be more equipped withtechnological knowledge and more aware about thedeveloped information However students need to bemore aware about the next work places and need tobe aware about the latest development of technology

At the same time they should be aware about thelatest developments and demands of the multi_nationalcompanies Even though the primitive state of futurework culture is already appearing in different MNCs inthe coming days the assumptions will be more stronglyvivid in the picture

As usual in the early morning Lingam walks swiftlyon the railway track having loaded his lungi with rawtamarinds and a bundle of twigs on his head Howeverbusy he is collecting palmyaras coconuts coconutleaves tamarinds twigs empty liquor bottles and such

like has become one of his daily duties as if he is notallowed to enter his hut with empty lungi and handsAs soon as he reaches home unloads everything that he

has collected for that day Kokila serves him gruel andsome green chilies if available otherwise not Lingam is a

daily wagel does all kinds of meager jobs like working at

the construction sites weeding planting and harvestingpaddies in the nearby lands He is such an enthusiasticman of 32 dislikes to stay at home lazily or to while awayhis time unnecessarily during working hours Whicheverdistance might be Lingam never boards bus to reach his

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

engaged to marry Siamala a beautiful fair and tall girl

from a poor family Contrarily Lingam looks ugly withtanned skin and uncombed hair uncivilized illiterate and

innocent of worldly matters is in no way match Siamala

from fate their marriage ends happily as bride and

bridegrooms parents expected and the newly marriedcouples become the centre of attraction for the villagers

seeing such a lovely and pretty woman becoming thewife ofOomaian Some youngsters are even jealous ofhim and begin to search their life partner like SiamalaOne of Lingams neighbours says Hey Lingam you are

a lucky guy to get such a beautiful woman as your lifepartner Some villagers discuss among themselves Howcome Lingam has got a fair good looking bridegroom and

-ela her husband and her mother-in-law On her (okila begin to enjoy her old age after shifting her- r reurosponsibilities to Siamala

-ta is very clever and practical in doing things So --geously she takes steps to build a new house with- savings of her husband and mother-in-law who used e money selling her goats Somehow they managed ild a new concrete house and Siamala even changed-= mpty courtyard into a beautiful garden of coconuts plantain trees and some flowering plants On seeing-^ sudden transformations some of her neighbours sed her cleverness boldness but there are some

= ives in that village burnt them with their eyes filled jealousy in spite of being rich particularly their next-r man and woman always pick up quarrel with them- no reasons and sometimes for petty reasons This

n is always seen restless without enduring Lingams-ily progress

- -gams family is filled with happiness and it ran-rothly for some years Siamala gives birth to two- dren Anu and Bala Education in that family enters r this younger generation Lingam and Kokila are so-py to see Anu and Bala going school After some s Siamala gets into some company as a daily wager to- rage the finance of her family very soon she fills her- -lse with all modern equipments and electronic items- gam who cannot express his feelings and affections- rough words becomes slave and dependent to his wife-ext to his mother He feels satisfied and his life becomes-eaningful with his wife and children

J rfortunately this happiness and satisfaction doesrot last long in his life One mid day unexpectedly toveryones surprise Siamala elopes with a person whovorks along with her in that company While elopingsre took the ration card the savings of her husband andnother-in-law and also her children Kokila and Lingamare extremely depressed and brewed her elopement

Without knowing to proceed further they complain ina police station as per the advice given by their villageleaders and elders The following day the news hasappeared in the local newspaper and spreads the wholevillage Everyone started teasing him for marrying Siamalawho at last betrays him Lingam with his deficiency andsavage behaviours does not deserve to marry a womanlike Siamala For him Siamala might be a better choicebut for her Lingam is not a good choice But neither canhe understand Siamala who has been forced to share lifewith a dumb person nor can he blame Villagers too gossipthe same thing One guy tells the other - l expected thisto happen da macchan long back But its too late thattoo after two children The other guy also tells the samel thought something like this would happen after seeingSiamala going out for work with full deck up everydayLet this hapless shepherd suffer in his life once againIts all fate Comments like this exchange from person toperson in that street and Lingam knows not much ratherinnocent of such shame and humiliation He is muchdepressed and consoles himself by sharing the newswith his goats like a mad man Once a man enquiredLingam Hey Oomaian heard your wife has eloped withsomeone Yes Anna She eloped with someone Shedid not let us know anything about this before She alsotook the children with her Lingam answers in his ownlanguage

Months and years have passed Siamala has not returnedyet Kokila loses her hope knowing that her family woulddestroy after Lingam Kokila falls terribly sick and sells allthe goats to manage the debts Now he is left alone withno one to share his miseries He begins to talk himselfstanding on the road and on the railway track GraduallyLingams behaviour and character change as before Hebecomes savage once again and continues to go outfor work without knowing for who he is saving moneyonly God knows Everything in his life is over Will heexpect his wife still to change him once again or will shereturn leaving a better life to lead a life with a physicallydeformed man But if Siamala returns Lingam wouldcertainly accept and celebrate his wifes home comingdespite her infidelity because all he need is love affectionand someone like Siamala to be dependent off He leastbothers about the people around him who sometimespity him Suddenly his face is brightened becomes happyPeople do not know the reason behind it Only he knowsthat he still enjoys and continues his life with Siamala andchildren though not in reality but in his dream Lingambegins his following day with his usual petty steals

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

like has become one of his daily duties as if he is notallowed to enter his hut with empty lungi and handsAs soon as he reaches home unloads everything that he

has collected for that day Kokila serves him gruel andsome green chilies if available otherwise not Lingam is a

daily wagel does all kinds of meager jobs like working at

the construction sites weeding planting and harvestingpaddies in the nearby lands He is such an enthusiasticman of 32 dislikes to stay at home lazily or to while awayhis time unnecessarily during working hours Whicheverdistance might be Lingam never boards bus to reach his

destination nor pesters his mother for bus fare He is a

quick walker and has a strong aversion towards vehiclesHe does not even know to ride bicycle nor has he gotone as dowry Lingam is often complimented for being so

active quick and perfect (not by his character) in doingthings When he comes back home gives his mother themoney he earns for that day Apart from saving money

Lingam is clever enough to help his mother in collectingrather stealing mangoes tamarinds storing dried twigsand logs in bundles for the rainy season Lingam is bornpartially dumb but not deaf He has his own language tocommunicate along with gestures Other than his motherand sister no one calls Lingam by his name and even thesmall kids tease him as Oomaian He turns deaf ears tosuch things and is not infuriated by such incidents ratherhe smiles at them Kokila with the advice of some of herwell wishers plan to get him married soon despite his

deficiency Within three months period Lingam has got

engaged to marry Siamala a beautiful fair and tall girl

from a poor family Contrarily Lingam looks ugly withtanned skin and uncombed hair uncivilized illiterate and

seeing such a lovely and pretty woman becoming thewife ofOomaian Some youngsters are even jealous ofhim and begin to search their life partner like SiamalaOne of Lingams neighbours says Hey Lingam you are

a lucky guy to get such a beautiful woman as your lifepartner Some villagers discuss among themselves Howcome Lingam has got a fair good looking bridegroom and

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

straight to me instead of paying it to the old book sellerYoud have saved our Rajis note books right How didyou get money when I checked mysell it was not there

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

ENLICHTENMENT AT LASTI

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

Oh That old man looks the sameThe Cockermouth poets leech-gatherer comes aliveA search aimed not at the leechesBut for some life-giving food piecesThat may extend his life for atleat a dayThe struggles with stray dogs and rats end in gayOn finding a half-bitten biscuitOr those overly cooked thrown awaysThe poor old man proceeds to another heapAnd this optimism of getting more keeps the man going

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

0N)JUSTTCE DONE

Look at that man who is riding his cycle his name is

Pandu and he is a hero in our lane lle is attracted by

many of village folks in the evening hours He works in arice mill as a helper and now he is going to his job withpacked lunch Thats why he is neatly dressed and steadyYou must see him in the evening time he may not knowwhere his dhoti dropped and his cycle left Sometimeshell be carried back by good Samaritans in subconsciousstate and his cycle would be carried by somebody He willbe so boozed up that he may not know the way to go

to his house and also cannot recognize who is who He

cant remember the worldly creatures when he exists in

an entirely different world When he sings dances andprattles funny statements there are always people tolisten to them

Slowly he gets back to his consciousness and remembershis dead parents and cry for they have left him alone in

this world After sometime he remembers his wife whohas been cruel to him by not giving enough money todrink arrack and lying that she has no money Then he

remembers his daughter Raji a twelve years old girl andcalls her nearby with full of affection But Raji will nevergo his side when he is drunk She knows the daily routineWhen she goes near he will be nicely talking to her andwhen he slowly gets back his consciousness hell beatboth the daughter and mother to get money from themto drink arrack They often pray that he should neverregain his consciousness or else he should sleep beforene gets it

His personality will be totally changed in the morningand he will be sincere in his duty You can see his cruelnature of attacking his wife when he has no moneyespecially on Sundays He also never wants to loose hisprestige as the first son-in-law at his in-laws place He

often fights with his wife as if he is being insulted by hismother-in-law in her home Rajis mother though wasdisappointed by his behaviour in the beginning of hermarriage days is now habituated to live with him andhas learnt to manage him a little Once he attempted tomurder his wife by pouring kerosene on her and a matchin his hand Next day morning he swore that he never didsuch thing He made so rnany such promises saying thathe will not touch arrack thereafter and he never kept hispromises Many onlookers rvill compromise them whenthey quarrel and control him when he beats his wife

He is shameless to ask his wife the money she earnsworking in the farm house She cleverly cheats him bygiving fake accounts and the amount which she earnedthat day He then unconvincingly asks Perumal thelabour contractor for farms how much she is paid thatday Perumal as usual tells the same amount which hiswife has already told him This is to help her or she willland into troubles Our hero then starts spinning storiesbetween his wife and Perumal and then abuses both inderogatory words He also reveals the public that thereis a secret affair exists between the two only those thetwo will know whether it is true or not When he is totallyboozed up he beats his wife to pass time and the motherand daughter have to take asylum in the neighbourhoodto escape from his beatings He often goes to theneighbour houses in search of them

Once he had no money to go to arrack shop and hesearched every corner of his house including his wifessari corner He became angry and his urge to drink arrackdidnt leave his mind He moved like a cat without makingany noise Finally he got an idea to get money for thatday expense and he left home happily humming an oldmovie song By that time his daughter Raji was playing

and she came to do her homework She was preparingfor the annual exam at her school When she openedher bag she found some of her notebooks missing She

was shocked her mother started her inquiries and cameto know by passer-by that Pandu was carrying some ofthe notebooks She then rushed to the old booksellersshop and collected them by paying money to him Raji

was upset after seeing her notebooks without coverpages removed by the profit minded shopkeeper toreduce the weight of the notebooks That year she hadhad to manage her studies with such ugly notebooksPandu realised his mistakes in the morning as usual yethe cornered his wife Why dont you give the money

What can be done to manage such a personality Whatcan be answered to him Can she convince him sayingmoney can be borrowedbegged to provide oneseducation but need not for the sake of drinking arrackHe will be nice to you when you give money to him notbefore or after that because before giving money hewould be angry that you are not giving money and aftergiving money he would be too boozed up to realise whogave the money This is the miserable situation whereboth the mother and daughter had been living with him

But surprisingly he was happy today morning and I askedRaji why her father was so happy She revealed that herparents have come to a level of understanding That isner mother will get the arrack home thereafter and herfather must not create any scenes after drinking it Raji isso happy that she can read peacefully hereafter and herfather has agreed that he will not disturb if he is givenarrack both morning and evening Now I understand whyre looks so happy when he is riding the cycle

n the afternoon as usual Pandu was carried by someonealong with his cycle saying he was lying on the road inhe next village That was usual story of him and peoplescolded Pandus wife for geting arrack to him in the early^rorning Thats why he lost his control while riding cycleand fell on the side of the road and only in the afternooniey could locate him As usual public is gathered to watchre activities going to occur that is bathing ceremonynd the words hes going to utter when he is completelytrenched One of them found that he is quite differentris time since his head is hanging down and his body isnilled They then bring to hospital and found he is dead- aving drunk poison which he consumed mixed with therack Police inquiries followed asking the reason for hiseath Raji without knowing the injustice done to herather started crying for his death Her mother cautiously3s to bathroom to hide two tiny bottles and only god-cws whether they contained poison or not ln that se can his death be justified ls it not injustice done to- - as he has done to his wife and famlly while he was

ENLICHTENMENT AT LASTI

Watching the streets outside which seemsRunning into the infinityI lay on my bed near the windowEnjoying the cold breeze wafting inFondling my wrinkles gifted by timeToday the street is deserted whereOnce with tiny legs I learned to walkLater I walked with the GiantsConquering everything before meDestroying everything that resisted meI had at last an empire of mineWhich I ruled with a raised swordWorld called me ChampionHistory called me Great and to myselfI was greater than the greatBut those hands that conquered the worldFailed to win the battle with timeWhen my sword proved heavier for my handsI had to leave that throne and crownAnd find asylum in this godownNow I see dust rising againDrums beating a battle again0 young men please lend your earsIts not me but the history speakingWhen you fight hard to build an empireRemember no empire has lasted forever1 know you wont hear me as I didntBut one day you will know it as I didAnd now when my spirit is strugglingTo leave this world and its hardshipsMy destiny still whispers to me cruellyThe time is not yet Not Yetl

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

NIVEllEMENT DE SEINS

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

JOURNEE DES CARDIAQUES

Une super-pilule potentiellement miraculeuse contre Ie risque cardiaque

Une super-pilule combinant des medicaments contre Ihypertension Ie cholesterol et de Iaspirine reduirait de moitie Ie risque cardiovasculaire chez des sujets sains et pourrait revolutionner Ie traitement et la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires

UNous estimons que la laquo Polypill raquo (nom donne 3 cette pilule) a probablement Ie potentiel de reduire les maladies cardiaques de 60 et les attaques cerebrates de 50 a estime devant la presse Ie Dr Salim Yusuf du Population Health Research Institute de lUniversite McMaster (Ontario Canada) coauteur de cet essai clinique baptise riPs (The Indian Polycap Study)

Cette etude a ete presentee lundi lors de la SSe conference annuelle de 11Imerican College of Cardiology (ACq reunie depuis samedi 3 Orlando (Floride sud-est)

47

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

En cameroon it existe une pratique clandestine parmi Ies gens II sagit de la pratique du nivellement du sein des jeunes tilles Ce concept nous parait tres bizarre les meres des jeunes tilles avant que leur filles atteignent rage de la puberte aplatissent ecrasent et detruisent Ies seins de leurs jeunes tilles Pourquoi font-elle ainsi Ie but qui eta it derriere cette pratique cest quelles veulent reporter Iapproche de la puberte de leurs filles EIes disent quelles font ainsi atin de proteger les tilles contre les avances polissonnes et dangeureuses des hommes Cest toujours la meme histoire qui repete souvent dans chaque societe Cest la femme qui doit subir la souffrance cest elle qui doit etre punie pour Ie desir de Ihomme

Chez les habitants de Cameroon iI existe plusieurs manieres dans lesquelles les seins peuvent etre detruits lune de ces manieres cest quen utilisant un rateau la rabouteuse aplatit les mamelons des jeunes tilles Ces

femmes-la elles pensent aveuglement quen faisant cela on peut retarder la puberte Cette ancienne pratique sest suivie dans leur societe depuis longtemps comme une tradition Et on garde cette pratique comme un secret entre la mere et la tille Cet aspect social nous montre bien qua quel point la societe feminine est torturee non seulement par les hommes mais aussi quelque fois par leur propre societe qui est la FEMME

00 VA lAME

Est-ce que cest au ciel Ou a Ietoile qui toute la nuit

BrUle et Ie matin fuit Que va notre objet surreel

Est-ce que cest aux pieds De Ietre tronant au del etoile

Et qui nous a crees Que va notre arne liberee

Quelques-uns me repondent laquo oui raquo Dautres Ie refusent sans cesse

Cette question je me ta pose En restant veillee toute la nuit

La reponse je la cherche En vain Mon arne encore attend

le denouement en battant De retrouver mon essence fraiche

lidee que les gens pourraient prendre une simple pilule pour reduire les risques cardiaques multiples suscite beaucoup dexaltation car cela pourrait revolutionner la prevention des maladies cardio-vasculaires a-t-il ajoute

letude egalement publiee dans la revue medicale britannique laquo The Lancet )) a ete conduite en Inde avec 2053 participants ages de 45 a 80 ans et financee par Ie laboratoire indien Cadilla Pharmaceuticals qui na eu aucun role dans la collection des donnees

II sagit du premier essai clinique pour evaluer la tolerance dun tel traitement combine et determiner siI entraine ou non une diminution notable du risque cardiovasculaire ont explique les chercheurs

Durant une periode de trois mois ces cardiologues ont compare les effets de la Polypill avec huit autres medicaments sur la tension arterielle les taux de cholesterol ou encore Ie rythme cardiaque

La pilule contient de faibles doses de trois medicaments contre Ihypertension (125 milligrammes de thiazide 50

mg datenolol et 5 mg de ramipril) ainsi que 20 mg de simvastatin un anticholesterol et 100 mg daspirine un anticoagulant ont indique ces medecins

lis ont constate une reduction importante du taux de mauvais cholesterol (LOL) de la tension arterielle et de la f1uidite sanguine soit un risque moindre de formation de plaque dans les arteres ou de caillot

Les effets secondaires ont ete les memes avec la ~olypill quavec chacun des composants pris separement

Notant que la Polypill avait ete tres bien toleree par les participants de Ietude Ie Dr Yusuf a souligne que cet essai clinique a ete la premiere etape cruciale pour concevoir et conduire des essais cliniques etendus pour confirmer ces resultats

Cette etude suscite Iespoir car la Polypill en conjonction avec des efforts pour ameliorer Ie regime alimentaire et encourager Iexercice pourrait un jour reduire fortement Ie fardeau des maladies cardiovasculaires dans Ie monde
