  Can Anyone Explain What’s Wrong With Farm Bills in India? The Kerala government has called for a special session of their assembly to protest against the farm laws that were introduced in the parliament on December 31, 2020. It's quite unclear how the farm bill is even affecting Kerala, one of the major demands of the farmer’s protest in Delhi is to do away with the amendments in APMC laws. APMC’s doesn’t exist in Kerala.  Three Farm Bills were tabled in the Monsoon session of the parliament, Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill, 2020, The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 Let’s look into each of them separately, Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill, 2020 The essential commodities act was introduced in 1955 inorder to stop hoarding of essential commodities which would result in price rise of these commodities and which in tur...

Poem: her rightful place

Image
I am a lover, waiting for that eternal rain, The rain destined to cleanse my soul, Preparing it for the one who is meant to claim The place that has always been hers alone. Born a lover, of rain and the misty moon, It’s no wonder my soul yearns for her— She is the misty moon, in a rain-soaked night, The light that softens shadows deep. I can’t recall where we last crossed paths, For I cannot see the lives we’ve lived, But she can; her soul remembers, And that’s why I know she’ll come— To take her rightful place once more.

Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper. Einstein believed in that invisible piper, the question is, do you? We all thought of this question several times in our life. Is there a god? The same question that has been in the mind of every single individual who has once roamed this planet. Once I asked a friend this question and his reply was very funny, "i don't know whether the god exists or not but I'll believe it exists because i don't want to be in it's bad book if at all it exists. I am sure many of my readers too are people like him who believes in god just to be in a safe zone.  Lately I had this very strange idea while thinking about God. What if god's just some set of law? Like gravity for example, the ...

7. The Timer's Set

He stood there still. He knew who it was, he never bothered to turn. "So you are the Ram who travelled all the way for his Sita ?" asked the cold low tone to Aadi with his right hand on his shoulder. This was the first time he was meeting this man but Aadi knew who he was and he guessed what he want. He never had the strength to speak back. He was a lost man. "You have a pretty strong arm my son, something which went into that river usually never comes back. You are not so tough as I heard" said the man in a mocking cold tone. "What do you want?" replied Aadi finally. "The question is not what I want, the question is what you want",continued the stranger. Aadi gulped and spoke "Your daughter". John Varghese,a strong msn in his mid sixties, father to Poornima Varghese, he reached US way back in the 80s. Struggled hard to build what he has today. The only thing that he lost during this time was his Indian citizenship. Aadi never li...

"I am a good, god fearing christian" some thing that she used to stress a lot. That was true, she always held her beliefs close. She always had a clear idea what she was and what her limits were. Unlike Aadi who always tried to break limits she was more practical. Poornima, meant full moon. "She's the closest thing ever to a full moon" Aadi used to say. It was quite right. She was beautiful. 5'5 tall, average weight (may be a little more, but who cares), dark eyes, and had a very beautiful heart. Aadi remembers an incident where he asked Poornima about the number of children she wishes to have. "4, may be 4+2 with two adopted ones", she replied. Aadi couldn't stop his laughter "and how are you going to feed them dear" mocked Aadi. "When you have mouths to feed, you will find a way" her reply was stern and serious. That was Poornima, when she talk about life she meant business, she never took life lightly. May be that'...
