Surely Important : Remember it - about cell phone Features

THINGS SOME OF YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO...

 There are a few things that can be done in times of
 grave emergencies.
 
 Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an
 emergency tool for survival. Check out the things
 that you can do with it: -
 *EMERGENCY*

     *I*
     * The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is
     112
     * If you find yourself out of coverage area of your
     mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112
     and the mobile will search any existing network to
     establish the emergency number for you, and
     interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if
     the keypad is locked. **Try it out.** (dont know if its works for CDMA)
    
     *II*
     * Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?
     Does you car have remote keys?*
     This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a
     cell phone:
     If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys
     are at home, call someone at home on their cell
     phone from your cell phone.
     Hold your cell phone about a   foot from your car
     door  and have the person at your home press the
     unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on
     their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from
     having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no
     object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if
     you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for
     your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
    
     Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and
     it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"*


     *III*
     Subject: Hidden 

    Battery power
     Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are
     expecting an important call and you don't have a
     charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve
     battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your
     cell will restart with this reserve and the
     instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This
     reserve will get charged when you charge your cell
     next time. (will work only in case of NOKIA)
    
     AND


     *IV*
     How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
     To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in
     the following digits on your phone:
     * # 0 6 #
    A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This
     number is unique to your
     handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
     when your phone gets stolen, you can phone your
     service provider and give them this code. They will
     then be able to block your handset so even if the
     thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be
     totally useless.
    You probably won't get your phone back, but at least
    you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it
    either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in
    people stealing mobile phones.

     *V*
    Another new idea about emergencies is **ICE** - it is a neat and useful idea!!

    A recent article from the Toronto Star, "the ICE idea", is catching on
    and it is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a
    loved one in case of an emergency. As cell phones are carried by the
    majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of
    a contact person or persons and store the name as "ICE".

    The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to
    the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients,
    but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that
    it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to
    file "next of kin" under.
    
    Following a disaster in London The East Anglican Ambulance Service has
    launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. The idea is
    that you store the word "ICE " in your mobile phone address book, and
    with it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted
    "In Case of Emergency ". In an emergency situation, Emergency Services
    personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your
    next of kin, by simply dialling the number programmed under "ICE".

    Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before
    everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put
    a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply
    enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

    A great idea that will make a difference !

WSLabs, Malicious Code / Malicious Website: Vivio Lure Spreading Crimeware

Websense Security Labs has discovered a new information-stealing, malicious code attack, which appears to provide more evidence that Russian-based malicious code writers and Brazilians are either working together, or are sharing tools or information. (Previous post: http://www.websense.com/securitylabs/alerts/alert.php?AlertID=724 ).

If users click on the link within the email, they are redirected to a page that is hosted in Russia. That page attempts to exploit the user with the "VML" vulnerability. If the user's PC has not been properly patched, the site downloads and runs an executable called " stylecss.exe". This file is packed with "Yoda's protector," and has an MD5 of b6b2ccb8d1b862fa92c71a17c1795af2. The file adds information to the Run key in the registry: (C:\Arquivos de programas\ExAlien.exe). Once running, the file is designed to steal information from end-users when they visit banking websites.

Email screenshot included in full alert.(Vivio is a very large mobile carrier in Brazil):

The attack is written in broken Portuguese and roughly translates to:


Dear customer,

We'd like to inform you that our database shows several pending payments in your account, which haven't been paid in their respective due dates.

On 2/23/2006 value R$ 987.00 Details>>>

On 3/26/2006 value R$ 1,980.00 Details>>>

We ask your attention to this notification, since legal measures will be taken, such as the inclusion [of your name] in the Credit Protection Service (SPC) and Serasa [a Brazilian institution that protects credit].

For your security and convenience it is necessary to download the Pendencies Report file.

This is wonderful...

India's President, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, asks Yahoo Answers, What should we do to free our planet from terrorism? The answers cover the gamut you'd expect, but this is the most surprising stunt question I've seen on Y!Answers yet. They can get traction among world leaders.

Its for Guyz

Thought 1

When we are born, our mother's get the compliments and the flowers. When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity. When we die, our widows get the life insurance.


What do women want to be liberated from?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thought 2

The average man's life consists of: Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going, Forty years of having his wife ask the same question; and at the end, the mourners wondering too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thought 3

A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, "If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you." The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished.

He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted, "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die." The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him. 

The man asked. "Who are you?" I am your guardian angel," the voice answered. "Oh, yeah?" the man asked "And where the hell were you when I got married?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Thought 4 

Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle to give away to the groom. They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and placed some thing in his hand.

Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride. The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something. So he announced "Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of my life."

Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued, "My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me." The whole audience including priest started laughing..........but not the poor groom!

Two Ethical Questions

Two Ethical Questions

Q1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion?


Read the next question before scrolling down to the answer of
this one.

Q2: It is time to elect the world leader, and your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, smokes, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening.

Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
Candidate B is Winston Churchill
Candidate C is Adolf Hitler

and by the way:
Answer to the abortion question - if you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Shilpa - Big Brother Reality SHow

Big Brother (UK) is a reality show, which received a lot of attraction from general public. They where quite funny and informal at times. Recently they added a new member to the BB house, thats our sweet Shilpa Shetty. Shilpa didn't receive fair treatment from the house mates and on the very first day itself, so called calamity started. Former housemate Jackiey Budden repeatedly referred to her as "the Indian". Shetty has been reduced to tears on several occasions, confiding to Ian Watkins: "I feel like I'm losing my dignity.". A record 38,000 complaints have been received by OFCOM and Channel 4 categorizing "racial controversy".



Is that a ego clash, racial controversy or a cheap Girl-fight. You got to see that. Here are the video clips.

Geni -Everyone's related

Happened to see one article about Geni. Geni is a website that allows families to collaboratively build their
family tree. Family members can then use the tree to learn more about
each other, share knowledge about common ancestors and relatives, and
stay in touch with each other. Adding a new node (relative) is quite is easy. You must try it out!.

OpenSource Movie - elephants dream

‘Elephants Dream’ is the result of almost a year of work, a project initiated and coordinated by the Blender Foundation called Project Orange. Its an open source movie, ready to be watched and downloaded here. Six people from the Blender user/development community were selected to come over to Amsterdam to work together on an animated short movie, utilizing Open Source tools only. It is one of the first releases in the super-format HD DVD (1920x1080).

It's a fascinating concept.

 Tomorrow. 2. There are 12 seconds in a year. 

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today and  

Tomorrow, even though it's not the answer I 

 expected, so your answer is correct. But how did you 

get only 12 seconds in a year?" The Sardar 

 replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March

Importance of having Breakfast this is true

"Importance of having Breakfast"

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living
For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now! You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

Why?

Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being
between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early
morning hours?

We may have an Answer.


Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to
cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.

However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns,    Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke. So never ever skip breakfast

Enjoy this joke....... (no offense intended)

An absolutely Brilliant Joke, ENJOY!!!


A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.
She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.

The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."
The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes.
Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!" The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to".
The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me."
So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you. "
The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."
So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Attention female readers:
This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please scroll down.





















































The man had a heart attack ten times "milder" than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who have a good sense :)

facts about Lalettan!!

Aishwarya Rai made her debut against Mohanlal in IRUVAR (tamil)

Mohanlal and Priyadarshan used to be arch enemies during their time at college. Both supported different rival political wing.

Mohanlal and his friends produced their first movie in 1978 'Thiranottam' which was never released.

Mohanlal was a professional wrestler. He was due to go for the National championship in Delhi when he was called for auditioning by Navodaya for the role of Narendran in Manjil Virinja Pookkal directed by Fazil. His friends had sent his photographs to Navodya productions that was looking for fresh actors. He decided to go for the audition and rest is history.

Mohanlal's personal Assistant and Producer Antony Perumbaavoor was a taxi driver in ernakulam and used to take Mohanlal from his hotel to the location of 'Pattanapravesam'.This started a good friendship and by the end of shooting Mohanlal asked Antony if he wants to be his driver. Antony has since been with Mohanlal and now produces films under the banner Aasirvaad Productions. His first movie megahit Narasimham!

Mohanlal is known for his friendship and mostly all his school-college mates are with him in the film industry....priyadarshan, m.g.sree kumar. raju, prodcuer suresh kumar etc etc

Mohanlal is known for his shyness and being nervous when interviewed!

Mohanlal's friends and family call him Lalu.

Mohanlal's main hobby is collecting antiques and artifacts. He has a great collection of paintings

Mohanlal has acted only in three tamil films even though his father in law was a famous tamil producer. He agreed to do Iruvar only because of Mani rathnam's persuasion.

Mohanlal is the youngest actor to get national award

Kamal Haasan has said in an interview that Mohanlal is the most flexible actor in India.

It is a little known fact that Mohanlal won a Best Actor Award when in the sixth standard in school, an award usually won only by the people from tenth standard. Actor Maniyanpilla Raju directed that stage drama and was the first person to put make up on Mohanlal's face!

His fans association is popularly known as All Kerala Mohanlal Fans and Cultural Welfare Association. Reg No is 876/98.

During the filming of Ram Gopal Varma's 'Company' the cinematographer used to ask Mohanlal, in-between shots when lighting was going on, that sir why don't you sit inside or why don't you sit in the makeup room or whatever is available to the actors to which Mohanlal said, "No this is my office, let me get used to this space." (Ref interview with mohanlal in ibnlive.com)

Director Mani Ratnam has said in an interview that IRUVAR is his best movie and Mohanlal should have got a national award for the excellent portrayal of Anandan.

Mohanlal reached Trivandrum in a helicopter from Palakkad because of tight schedules to attend Kaumudi honouring director Priyadarshan. Mohanlal said he would have felt ashamed of himself if he couldnt make it to a function that was honouring his best friend and their friendship.

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

Today am getting alot good messages... 1 nice one below...

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert During some point of the Journey they had an Argument, and one friend Slapped the other one In the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget. If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends. Take the time to live! Do not value the THINGS you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your life!

think - coffee and cup

Following is a fwd msg frm my friend... Good to read...

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to

visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into
complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and
returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups:
porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and
exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to
want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems
and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."

"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society
are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the
quality of Life doesn't change."

"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the
coffee in it." So folks, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the
Coffee instead.

Watch Hrithik's Incredible Pose -It's Not Morphed

Like Kingfisher Calendar, Dabboo Ratnani calendar is so popular for its novelty in photographs. Hrithik Roshan was shot while falling down in a pool.

He was asked to pose as if he is very serious in reading the News Paper and not aware that he is falling down. To make it more natural, no strings are used to support Hrithik and no morphing work was done. He literally fallen down in water after a second of the pose that you are seeing here.

7 pairs of suits were brought to picture this shot as the dress turns wet after every attempt. But incredibly, Hrithik made it Okayed in first shot itself. So, 6 pairs of suit left dry!

Mobile Hazardous

This is a real incident that happened in a local hospital in Bangalore, India. A 4 year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture. As it was an open fracture, she had to undergo an operation to stitch the protruding bone back in place. Though it was quite a minor operation, she was hooked on to life support system, as a part of the process. The doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different conditions. Thereafter, the operation proceeded. Half way through the process, the
life support system suddenly went dead.
The culprit: - Some one was using his/her hand-phone outside the operation theatre. And the frequency had affected the system. They tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and innocent as she was, died soon after. "Be compassionate! Do not use your hand phone /mobiles especially at any hospitals or within the Aircraft or any places where you are told not to
use it... You might not be caught in the act, but you might have killed someone without knowing". Sometimes it's a matter of Life & Death....!!!!

God save the Malayalee!

(It's not my post ... This was done by LONAPPAN T. OUSEPPACHAN)

Outlook magazine discovers the 'Hoax of God's Own Country'. We discover two hoaxes: Outlook's own quickie journalism, and the Malayalee Hoax on himself. God save readers from Outlook, and the Malayalee from himself!

Recently, Outlook magazine carried a cover story on Kerala. The writer, Soma Wadhwa, described in detail how Kerala is not all that it is cranked up to be. Behind the behind the veil of greenery, beaches and tourism lies a state in tatters, the dreams of its people in ruin, and no hope in sight. The story brought to light several important aspects in the life of the Malayalee, but at the same time, got its conclusions thoroughly wrong and offered no solutions.

So here goes, in defence of God's Own Country, but hardly in defence of the Malayalee.

The specific illnesses of Kerala which the Outlook story focused on are as follows:

Suicide: The state is No. 1 in India, with 9,000 reported suicides a year, or 27 per day. There are 80,000 reported attempts annually.

Crime: India's highest crime rate -- 306.1 crimes committed per 1,000 people per year (national crime rate is 176.7 per thousand).

Joblessness: The worst in India -- 36% and 34% respectively of the rural and urban population in the 15-29 age group are unemployed.

Atrocities Against Women: The number of these crimes has risen fourfold in the past seven years; 22.7% of all Malayali women suffer some form of violation.

Foeticide: There were 962 girls for every 1,000 boys in the 0-6 age group in 2001, down from 976 in 1971.

Alcoholism: Each year, Kerala guzzles 8.3 litres of liquor per person, the highest in India, and nearly three times the national rate.

We will tackle each of those subjects as we go.

The Outlook story 'The Hoax of God's Own Country' begins with the description of a man in a mental hospital. "Forlorn figure lying in a senseless sprawl on a cot in ward no. 25 at Thiruvananthapuram's Mental Health Centre. He's a thirtysomething twelfth-pass unemployed heavily-in-debt wife-beating suicidal alcoholic, reveals the woman sitting in a dejected perch on the edge of his bed. She is his wife, attending to him on his third foray into a mental hospital in two years. "There are many many men like my husband in Kerala," she declares dismally, "Very unhappy..."

Oh my. The writer establishes the desperate scenario down pat. Would this be any different if you approach the wife of any patient in any mental hospital? The wives will detail similar sorrows. Only, the mental patient will not be a 12th-pass -- he would be a landless or bonded labourer, Dalit, Muslim, riot victim, rape victim's father, man thrown out of train… Come on, we know what the rest of India is like, don't we? For that matter, does the rest of India even have enough mental hospitals, or do they still treat their mental patients with skulls and snakes? Aren't we the same country where we had a minister in the Vajpayee government dancing on coal and with a snake around his neck? Note to Soma Wadhwa: Find an atypical example to establish the atypical circumstances of Kerala.

Outlook quote: "…birthing a story about Kerala's unleveraged achievements, her stunted possibilities, about the frustrations of men and women whom progress has taught aspirations and then kept them unfulfilled." Good point. The article should have been factual, identifying ills and pinpointing culprits, focusing on untapped potential and means of improvement. It is nobody's case that Kerala is heaven, though God's One Country it may be. Instead, the writer goes on to give us example after example, and moaning and groaning about Kerala's sad state. Kerala does not need the writer's tears, its people are better at complaining about themselves. What it needs is a kick in the butt.

Outlook quote: "A handful of women defy the blazing sun with some dozen rickety umbrellas outside the Kerala State Public Service Commission office in Thiruvananthapuram. Having passed the test to become police constables in year 2000, they are protesting their continuing joblessness in 2004." One protester, Bessy P. Verghese, MA (Malayalam), verbalises her perplexity: "All this chest-thumping about how literate Kerala is! Post-graduates are hankering for a Rs 3,500 job! We'd make more money if we were illiterate drivers!" (see the accompanying Outlook picture above).

These women have passed a test 4 years back, and jobless after 4 years? 4 years is 5-6 percent of an average person's life expectancy. And these fools are sitting on a dharna after 4 years? Soma Wadhwa, the Outlook correspondent does not get the point here - these people and their attitudes to life are precisely the problem, not their joblessness. After passing a test, these women (and men) choose to wait for that one pathetic government job instead of giving up and trying something else. Waiting four years years for a job is ridiculous. Perhaps you can start something on your own. Perhaps you can read a few newspapers, get some ideas and try some new business. Perhaps you can start a women's co-operative and manufacture something. Or you can keep waiting.

The job situation in Kerala has been bad for more than a decade now. It's not a surprise that Kerala springs on its educated - you know it when you are in primary school. (Everyone has been to primary school, by the way) Instead of waiting for these 4 years, what if someone had offered a private sector job in Kerala? They might take it, but would not want to. Why? Because it is not a government job, and does not offer security! They might take it, and still wait for the government job, ready to chuck the private sector job the moment a government job materializes. And what if someone had offered them a private sector job outside Kerala, say, Mumbai? Most of them would not take up the job offer as they just don't want to leave Kerala! Hunger, food, livelihood - nothing can shake the average Malayalee out of his love for his land which does not offer him enough jobs to survive. For every Malayalee who leaves Kerala, there are hundreds who will hang to a temple elephant's tail by his teeth but will not move to where there are opportunities. Blame the State, but blame the Malayalee more.

Here is more.

Outlook Quote: "M.Keshavan, LLB, MSW (Masters in Social Work), and R.Vinayakan Nair, LLB, are now bus conductors. A decade ago, even matriculates wouldn't stoop so low in the job hierarchy, they say, "but today every other government bus driver and conductor is a graduate, many are MAs, we even have two engineers." It's better than being unemployed, admits Vinayakan, but "lawyers who become bus conductors despair sometimes. If it can't get you a job, what good is a degree?"

This writer left Kerala more than a decade ago. There were post-graduate bus conductors then; they are there now. Bus conductors with post-graduations are nothing new in Kerala, and as students, we would sit around, down a peg and discuss such desperate stories all the time. (It's a standard story which any Malayalee would tell you - so did Outlook just make up this example?)

Then, not Soma Wadhwa, but Amartya Sen gets it right. The story quotes him, "It is possible that Kerala could have done much more to suit the demands of the contemporary age, including a focus on the rapidly expanding information economy." Right, Dr. Sen. Now we are talking. Parents in Kerala for a long time have been under the mistaken assumption that a good education is enough to survive in a modern world. And they should shoulder a lot of blame for the current situation in Kerala. Children were asked to focus on studies, private tuitions, entrance examinations, engineering or MBBS as professions, or a bank job. The skills to get by in the modern world were given no importance - the ability to be fluent in English, specific computer programming courses… Instead, the focus on the careers of an engineer or doctor is the reason why the Malayalee is falling behind his counterparts in other southern states in benefiting from the service and information economy.

Then Outlook produces a paragraph of Malayalee self-criticism. This is a brilliant paragraph - Malayalees critiquing themselves. With their sarcasm and cynicism, no one can best them in that. We have no complaints here. But ask the same Malayalees to compare Kerala's current situation and whether they would like to trade their situation with a Bihar, UP, Madhya Pradesh or Haryana, and they would run a mile.

Then, Outlook botches it again. 'The Hoax of God's own country' now features a photograph of several Malayalee men with the caption "Work Ethic - Men pass their time at noon reading newspapers at a Kottayam bus stop". Here is the Outlook photo for you.

Take this photo to a Malayalee. He would tell you that the picture means nothing. The Malayalee farm labourer or the woodcutter, or the mason, when he wakes up, reads a newspaper. The Malayalee chaiwallah reads newspapers. Everyone in Kerala reads newspapers. When they are waiting for a bus they read newspapers, which is what they are obviously doing in this picture. Maybe, for North Indians who are not used to the sight of so many people reading newspapers or even reading at all, the scene of a bunch of people in lungis at a bus stop with newspapers is confusing. It's okay Soma, happens. Point to note: The men are reading newspapers; they are not sitting idly, staring at a movie poster without comprehending the text. What they read in the newspapers today will help them criticize themselves tomorrow. And who knows, perhaps one day, teach the alphabet to some illiterate North Indian.

Soma then correctly moves on to talk about labour unions, and their ill effects. No quibbling about that, Soma.

And then Outlook and Soma Wadhwa move on to something interesting. Outlook quote: "the signs of Kerala imitating the rest of the country's bias against women are now unmistakable. Its gender ratio for the zero-to-six age group is down to 962 girls per 1000 boys in census 2001, as against 976 in 1971. There were about 100 ultrasound centres in the state a decade ago, now there are close to 850, indicating a sharp rise in sex-selective abortions."

Soma Wadhwa could be right here. But as someone who still visits Kerala every year, and has friends there, this writer definitely could not see a pro-male child bias in anything. The male-female ratio is still better than that of India, but something seems amiss. One should be careful when you directly attribute the rise in the number of ultra-sound centres to abortions - this is Kerala which you are talking about, and all health facilities improve in Kerala at a faster pace than you will see anywhere else in India. I definitely have not seen any indication of parents preferring male children enough to abort female foetuses. Most middle-class families in Kerala have two children now, and overall, one sees as many boys and girls. Soma could be right here, but I would like to see some more information before I agree - such as, in a healthy society (that automatically counts the rest of the Indian states out) what is the ratio of males to females? Could this be natural? I have a theory - nature considers men more expendable, and humans are therefore programmed to produce more males than females. Old style natural selection. But then I am no Darwinist or sociologist, so I guess we will leave this particular topic for the future.

Atrocities against women. This is one aspect where Kerala is going from bad to worse. I mean, this is nothing new in Kerala, but it's definitely getting worse. Even ten years back, women were considered fair game in Kerala, and sexual harassment and intimidation are the norm. The Outlook article says in the last seven years, crimes against women have increased four-fold. This is quite possible. However, here is the other side. You have a state where almost everyone is educated (and also read newspapers, Soma!), aware of crimes, easy access to police (for example, there are roads everywhere, and one does not travel by bullock cart to the police station or to a hospital), population density (so it's not easy to hide a crime) and you will naturally have a high rate of crimes being reported. However, given Kerala's huge number of unemployed and rising frustration, the crime rate is bound to go up.

Alcoholism seems to be on the rise in Kerala. This is true. However, drinking is not alcoholism, and we better be clear about that. Kerala's liquor consumption figures are 3 times the national average. Look at the bright side - this means that there are enough people in Kerala who can afford liquor!

Without making light of the hardships of Kerala's miserable people, let's try to get this entire picture right. I think the Outlook article and Soma Wadhwa missed out on the big picture, and a resident or non-resident Malayalee might have done better justice to 'The Hoax of God's on Country.' Here is my take on Kerala.



1. Kerala, overall, is better than most other states in India, and is comparable to several western countries in its health, literacy, life expectancy etc. Let's not lose sight of that when list out Kerala's ills.

2. The Malayalee, for all his awareness, political consciousness and literacy, is stuck in a mental trap of his own making. He is educated, so believes he deserves a white-collar job. When he can't find it easily, he is pissed off.

3. He wants a government job if he can't become an engineer or doctor. Very few can get into those professions, and his frustration starts there.

4. He does not like change, and will resist any change to the education system that may help generate more jobs, or make him more employable. He wants a job, and will not change for that.

5. He does not want private sector jobs.

6. He may die of hunger, but will not leave Kerala.

7. He will not die of hunger - there are no starvation deaths in Kerala.

8. So obviously he is not that poor.

9. His problems are those of the middle-class person who wants everything on his terms.

10. He drinks because he can afford to drink. Not something you can say about the rest of India. The poor in Kerala still makes more money than his counterpart elsewhere.

11. He drinks too much because he can't drink at home, does not have the concept of peaceful, social drinking and so goes to a bar and gets dead drunk there.

12. He beats his wife because she knows he is a fool.

13. She gets beaten because she is smart enough to know he is a fool, but is not smart enough to know what she should do about it.

14. Suicides increase in Kerala because the more you read, the more you know about what you don't have. As you are conditioned not to think out of the box, all you can do is to climb on a box with a rope in hand.

15. The post-graduate Malayalee cannot speak English, because he is too diffident.

16. He would prefer waiting for a government job indefinitely, than leave Kerala and get a job elsewhere.

17. He deserves his current situation, and will get out of it himself when he gets desperate enough.

18. Give the Malayalee no sympathy. He deserves none.

Who is real guru! Student or Guru?

One Night 4 Mba Students Were Boozing Till Late Night and didn't study

for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they

thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird as they

could with grease and dirt. They then went up to the dean and said that

they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre

of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and

that they were in no condition to appear for the test.



So the dean said they can have the retest after 3 days. They said they

will be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the

dean. The dean said that this was a special condition test. All four

were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed

as they had prepared well in the last three days.



The test consisted of 2 questions with tot al of 100 marks.







Q .1. Your Name .........................( 2 Marks )
