കേരളപ്പിറവിദിനാശംസകള്‍ !!


നവംബര്‍ ഒന്ന് കേരളപ്പിറവി. ഭാതതത്തിന്റൊ തെക്കേ അറ്റത്ത് ഒരു കൊച്ചു സംസ്ഥാനം പിറവികൊണ്ടു. നാട്ടുരാജ്യങ്ങളെയും രാജവാഴ്ചയെയും സ്മൃതിയുടെ ചെപ്പിലേക്ക് മാറ്റി 1956 നവംബര്‍ ഒന്നിന് മലയാള നാട് ജനിച്ചു

.കേരളത്തെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള ഐതീഹ്യം

ഇന്ത്യയുടെ തെക്കു പടിഞ്ഞാറു കിടക്കുന്ന ഈ കൊച്ചു നാടിന്‍െറ ഉല്പ്ത്തിയെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള ഐതീഹ്യകഥയൊന്നുണ്ട്. അതിങ്ങനെയാണ്.

ജമദഗ്നി മഹര്ഷി്യുടെ പുത്രന്‍ രാമനായി മഹാവിഷ്ണു അവതരിച്ചു. ശിവ ഭക്തനും വീരശൂരപരാക്രമിയുമായ രാമന്‍ തന്‍െറ ആയുധമായ പരശു (മഴു) വിന്‍െറ പേരും ചേര്ത്ത്യ പരശുരാമന്‍ എന്നും വിഖ്യാതനായി. അധികാര ദുര്മോുഹികളും, അതില്‍ അഹങ്കാരികളുമായ സ്വാര്ത്ഥ തല്പഎരരുമായ ക്ഷത്രിയരുമായി 21 പ്രാവശ്യം ഘോര യുദ്ധം നടത്തി അവരെ വധിച്ചു, നാട്ടില്‍ സമാധാനവും, സന്തോഷവും നിലനിര്ത്തിന,

പരശുരാമന്‍ അതിനുശേഷം തനിക്ക് തപസ്സിരിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു സ്ഥലം തേടി പശ്ചിമഘട്ടത്തിന്‍ കരിനീല വനപ്രദേശത്തെത്തി. അവിടെ വരുണ ദേവന്‍ പരശുരാമന് പ്രത്യക്ഷനായി, കടലില്‍ "പരശു' എറിഞ്ഞു ഭൂമി എടുത്തു കൊളളാന്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. അങ്ങനെ അറബികടലില്‍ പരശുരാമന്‍ പരശു എറിഞ്ഞു ഉണ്ടായതാണ് കേരളം എന്നാണ് ഐതീഹ്യം.

ഭൂമിശാസ്ത്രപരമായും, കേരളം ഉണ്ടായത് സമുദ്രത്തിന്‍െറ ഒരു ഭാഗം ഉയര്ന്നു വന്നിട്ടാണ് എന്നതു രസാവഹമാണ്. കേരളം എന്ന പേരിനുമുണ്ടു പല കഥകളും, കേരളം എന്നാല്‍ കൂട്ടിച്ചേര്ക്കരപ്പെട്ടത് എന്നു അര്ത്ഥംള വരുന്നു എന്നും, അതല്ല. കേരം എന്നാല്‍ സംസ്കൃത ഭാഷയില്‍ നാളീകേരം അഥവാ തേങ്ങ എന്നര്ത്ഥംഥ. തെങ്ങുകളുടെ നാടായതുകൊണ്ടാണ് കേരളം എന്ന പേര് എന്നും, ചേര രാജാക്കന്മാരുടെ അധീനതയിലായതുകൊണ്ടു ചേരളം എന്നതു പിന്നീട് കേരളം എന്നായതാണ് എന്നൊക്കെ കുറെ കഥകളുണ്ട്.

വൈവിധ്യമേറിയ ഭൂപ്രകൃതിയാൽ സമ്പന്നമായ ഇവിടം ലോകത്തിലെ സന്ദർശനം നടത്തേണ്ട 50 സ്ഥലങ്ങളുടെ പട്ടികയിൽ നാഷണൽ ജിയോഗ്രാഫിക് ട്രാവലർ മാഗസിൻ ഉൾപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.. മലയാളം പ്രധാനഭാഷയായി സംസാരിക്കുന്ന കേരളത്തിന്റെ തലസ്ഥാനംതിരുവനന്തപുരമാണ്‌. കൊച്ചി, തൃശ്ശൂർ, കോഴിക്കോട് എന്നിവയാണ്‌ മറ്റു പ്രധാന നഗരങ്ങൾ. കളരിപ്പയറ്റ്, കഥകളി, ആയുർവേദം, തെയ്യംതുടങ്ങിയവ കേരളത്തിന്റെ പുകഴേറ്റുന്നു. സുഗന്ധവ്യഞ്ജനങ്ങൾക്കും കേരളം പ്രശസ്തമാണ്. വിദേശരാജ്യങ്ങളിൽ ജോലിചെയ്യുന്ന മലയാളികൾ കേരളത്തിന്റെ സമ്പദ്‌വ്യവസ്ഥയിൽ പ്രധാന ഘടകമാണ്.

വിവിധ സാമൂഹിക മേഖലകളിൽ കൈവരിച്ച ചില നേട്ടങ്ങൾ മൂലം കേരളം ശ്രദ്ധിക്കപ്പെടുന്നുണ്ട്. 91% സാക്ഷരതയാണ്‌ അതിലൊന്ന്. ഇത് ഇന്ത്യയിലെ തന്നെ ഏറ്റവും ഉയർന്ന സാക്ഷരതാനിരക്കാണ്‌. 2005-ൽ ട്രാൻസ്പരൻസി ഇന്റർനാഷണൽ നടത്തിയ ഒരു സർവ്വേ പ്രകാരം ഇന്ത്യയിൽ ഏറ്റവും കുറവ് അഴിമതി നടക്കുന്ന സംസ്ഥാനം കേരളമാണ്‌. കേരളത്തിന്റെ വരുമാനത്തിന്റെ വലിയൊരു പങ്ക് പേർഷ്യൻ ഗൾഫ്രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽ ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്ന മലയാളികളെ ആശ്രയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.1950കളിൽ വളരെ പിന്നോക്കാവസ്ഥയിലായിരുന്ന കേരളം അരനൂറ്റാണ്ടിനിടയിൽ വൻമാറ്റങ്ങൾക്ക് സാക്ഷ്യം വഹിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. വിദ്യാഭ്യാസത്തിന്റെയും ആധുനികതയുടേയും സ്വാധീനമാണ് ഇതിന് കാരണം. സാക്ഷരത, ആരോഗ്യം, കുടുംബാസൂത്രണം തുടങ്ങിയ മേഖലകളിൽ കേരളം കൈവരിച്ച നേട്ടങ്ങൾ വികസിത രാജ്യങ്ങളുടേതിനോടു കിടപിടിക്കുന്നതാണ്‌. കേരളത്തിന്റെ സാമൂഹികവികസനത്തെകേരളാ മോഡൽ എന്ന പേരിൽ പല രാജ്യാന്തര സാമൂഹികശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞരും പഠനവിഷയമാക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്‌.

Working On Your Computer In Healthy Way



Follow some basic tips to work in a better way on your computer.
  • Do not work in total darkness where the computer screen is the only source of light, especially if you have to type or copy from a printed document.
  • Ensure that the keyboard and the document you are typing from are adequately lit up. The keys and letters should be visible and they should appear in focus when you look at them. If you are looking at a sheet of paper while typing, keep a paper holder adjacent to the monitor and ensure the letters are visible. Contrast also affects visibility. Black letters on a white background are the easiest to read as opposed to light lettering on a dark background.
  • Set the contrast correctly for your monitor, too. Outrageous colours such as red letters on a gray background are painful to even stare at. Set your desktop screen to a subtle colour and avoid pictures and graphics with fluorescent colours.
  • Make sure the light you use does not cause a glare on the screen. Continuously staring at a monitor with a glare on it can cause a lot of stress to your eyes. Also, ensure that there are no harsh shadows falling on a part of your screen. Adjust your monitor brightness to a level where you can look at it comfortably and see letters on it without straining your eyes.
  • If you have a CRT monitor (the fat ones that look like television sets), use a flicker filter because these screens flicker a lot. Since your pupils are really wide open while working in the dark or staring very hard at the screen, the constant flicker makes things worse.
  • Mind your position if you are sitting in your room and working the night away. It is very tempting to recline and work with the laptop on your lap, but that is a bad ergonomic choice. After a while, you will realise that your back is hurting. Use a bedside table where you can keep your monitor at eye level and use a lamp to illuminate the keyboard.
  • More importantly, take frequent breaks. Practice a focus pull: focus on an object close to you and then move your gaze to an object at a greater distance. Scanning across the various objects in the room also helps. Blink very frequently and use artificial tears if your eyes feel very dry. A few head rolls, too, will help keep the neck free of pain.
  • Remember, taking frequent breaks and exercising your eyes is not unique to working in the dark. Try and practice these even during the day if you have to work for long periods continuously.

Introduction of facility of automatic credit of PLI/ RPLI monthly premium from PO S.B account of insured persons


Copy of PLI Directorate letter No. 29-08/2009-LI (Pt) dated 25.10.2012

To
All Heads of Circles
Addl. DG (APS)

Sub: Introduction of facility of automatic credit of PLI/ RPLI monthly premium from savings account of insured persons.

   In the last few years, there has been massive expansion of Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI). However, it has been noticed that a number of policies particularly in RPLI lapse after a while. One of the reasons for lapsation is absence of convenient ways of depositing premia of the policy(ies). As such, it was under consideration of the Department to provide facility of automatic deduction of premia from Savings Account so that (i) the policy holder(s) need not have to visit Post Office every month for depositing premia of his PLI/ RPLI policy and (ii) lapsation of PLI/ RPLI policies gets reduced.

2. The competent authority has now approved the proposal for providing the facility to the policy holder of PLI and RPLI to get premium deposited/ credited by deduction of the same directly from his Savings Account standing in Post Offices. However, this facility can be opted by only those policy holders of PLI and RPLI whose Savings Accounts are maintained in the Departmental Post Offices (GPOs, HOs, MDGs or SOs).

3. It is requested to kindly take necessary action for implementation of aforesaid scheme and wide publicity may also be given for this scheme through various publicity channels.

4. Accounting and operating procedure for automatic transfer of premium of PLI/ RPLI from Savings Accounts of the policy holder is enclosed for information and action accordingly.

5. It is further informed that till the provisions are made in the software, automatic credit of PLI/ RPLI monthly premium by deduction from savings account of the policy holder will have to be done manually.
