BUT ARE THEY WELL-RESPECTED FOR THE MULTISKILLS THEY ARE BLESSED WITH?

(WOMEN’S DAY REFLECTIONS)

08 MAR 26.

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women”

Kerala can be proud of enhancing the quality of life of thousands of women. Our nurses have excelled in their noble field in many progressive nations upholding the reputation of India and send millions of dollars to india. Kerala also has imparted good education for the girl student and helped thousands of women to explore their opportunities abroad.

However,
on this Women’s Day, in retrospect, Kerala’s women face a multitude of harsh realities. Physical assaults, baseless allegations based on dogmatic beliefs and prejudices, and collective attacks persist in this male-dominated society.

Today, when AI, Robotics and space exploration are but realities in other parts of the world, women are deprived of their rights and they are sidelined by various authorities for reasons best known to this society. These are sheer facts which cannot be ignored.

Regressive values dictate how women should dress, whom to marry, and on how to walk and talk in a society. Men of almost all religions seem to control the lives of women, and institutions often uphold patriarchal norms. Dogmatic religions, the so-called “progressive” political parties, and authorities frequently prioritize men’s interests over women’s safety. It is high time men recognized women’s autonomy. They are after all human beings, capable of making their own choices.

Let us empower Kerala’s women to live freely, making their own decisions and shaping their own destiny. It is high time women liberated from exploitation of any kind, started breathing free air and enjoy the opportunity to stand on their own feet, while fulfilling their duties as adults, as wives and mothers. In addition, women who are employed are destined to shoulder additional responsibilities at their work place. Empathising with them is the least others can do.

Women’s realization alone that they have every right as men to enjoy themselves will improve the destiny of the mighty women.

Let women come to the fore to uphold their inalienable human rights today when they are multiskilled and strong enough to face challenges aplenty in their lives. Let there be gender equality challenging all religious dogmas to materialise all these basic needs of women.

Belief in God tends to provide solace and hope to those facing life’s challenges and traumas. When confronted with helplessness, faith in God, though an entity which cannot be experienced by our senses, offers a sense of security and comfort, reminding believers that they are not alone in the planet; a dust in the fathomless multiverse.

The conviction that a higher power is guiding and supporting us instills courage and resilience. This trust enables us to reframe difficulties as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than insurmountable obstacles.

Faith also fosters a sense of purpose, helping us find meaning in various adversities of life. It encourages us to look beyond our current struggles, focusing on a greater good. This perspective cultivates patience, optimism, and inner peace, even in the darkest moments.

Moreover, the belief in a benevolent God provides reassurance that we are part of a larger plan, giving us the strength to persevere. By anchoring our hope in God, we can face uncertainty with confidence, knowing that we are supported and loved, no matter what challenges we encounter.

Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. A life with material success alone may not offer contentment, unless it provides peace of mind.

It has always been an intriguing question for all philosophers on whether an entity called God has been in existence or not. Though their answers vary, science which is expected to answer all sensible questions cannot answer this simple question whether there is God.

Science could not answer so far what was before the Big Bang, why the cosmos is functioning in a perfect system, what is the purpose of life, how gravity was originated, and there are unanswered questions aplenty which challenge the intellect of the so-called intellectuals.
The concept of an eternal energy, often referred to as God, is a profound and timeless idea that has captivated human imagination for centuries. While its existence cannot be proven empirically, numerous evidences point to its presence. The universe, with its intricate design and harmony, suggests a creator who is eternal and all-powerful. The laws of physics, governing the movement of celestial bodies, and the intricate balance of ecosystems, all leads to a supreme force behind it all.

The complexity of life, with its diverse species and adaptations, is another testament to God’s existence. The human consciousness, our capacity for love and compassion is a mysterious aspect of our existence that transcends physical explanations. Moreover, the experience of spirituality, reported across cultures and time, suggests a connection to something greater than ourselves.

The presence of God is manifested in every heavenly body, species and plant, yet it remains mysterious and stays beyond human comprehension. The intricate web of life, the beauty of nature and the mysteries of the universe all point to an eternal energy that underlies everything. While humans cannot fully grasp its nature, the evidence of its existence is undeniable.

As things are beyond human experience, let us now bow our head before God to be blessed with values such as compassion and the wisdom for the coexistence between nations, cultures and various people. They may practise or not following any religion. The attitude of accommodating everything different is certainly required for reducing the increasing crime at an unprecedented rate, and fostering cooperation among diverse societies for the betterment of humanity as a whole and for the welfare of quality.

Last but not least, every war was fought for peace, no was has ever brought peace. The man who claims to be the mightiest on earth earnestly demanding a Nobel price for peace when he plans many other wars. As such, in thus world of paradoxical statements and hypocritic ideologies, the need for an Almighty god is a basic need, but not an organised religion.

We should never forget that in the UK during the Covid period most British citizens have honoured our nurses with flowers on their doorsteps to express their gratitude for the nursing community.

It is not a cliche to call nurses the ANGELS of healthcare: the unique but less rewarding life saving field. Nursing needs empathy, professionalism and the expertise to work at least 12 hours a day without taking any break, even on the most regressive HARTAL RITUAL of Kerala.

In addition, they have to manage our doctors, who seem to be bit dominating, irritating and anxious relatives of patients, and patients who are either delusional or passing through some traumatic experiences.

Since the three vital aspects of life are food, shelter and healthcare, the service of nurses needs to be acknowledged. It must be borne in mind that nurses have to study at least 4.5 years, while their counterparts in Europe, to cite an example, have to study only 3 years to be a registered nurse. Our nurses are well-respected in all the progressive nations such as 27 nations in Europe, the UK, the US, Canada, Scandinavia,Australasia and the Gulf. In all these places our nurses, as they are doing a demanding job, are paid from 3 lakhs to 6 lakhs per month plus perks since nursing is an essential service and a respectable job.

Needless to state that, nurses are the backbone of Kerala’s healthcare system, working tirelessly to save precious lives and provide quality care. Despite their critical role, they’re underpaid and overworked, earning only ₹20,000 per month, to put in perspective, in Europe our nurses draw Rs 300,000 per month & perks in the first year itself. And in the US and Australia, the starting salary of a nurse is 5 lakhs.

In contrast, an average doctor earns ₹200,000 and various commissions here, highlighting the stark disparity in payment in healthcare. Nurses toil for 12 long hours, 6 days a week, often going above and beyond to care for patients. May I add that although men and women are considered equel, women in Kerala have many more duties such as cooking, household chores, looking after their parents or elderly in-laws and they have to shoulder the additional responsibility of bearing & rearing their children, who might be bit naughty as well. While taking all these responsibilities, nurses are overburdened and highly stressed with the responsibilities of their unique demanding jobs in hospitals tolerating the impersonal attitude of the hospital management. (in certain hospitals nurses are not permitted to sit!)

The demanding schedule of nurses leaves them exhausted, yet they’re expected to provide compassionate care. The nurses’ demand for a hike to ₹40,000 is reasonable, considering their nature of duty, dedication and expertise. It is time their contributions are valued and recognized.

I stand in solidarity with the striking nurses, acknowledging their tireless efforts. It is time for the government to address their legitimate demands and ensure fair compensation for these healthcare heroes. When hospital managements are not hesitant to charge exorbitant charges from patients, why can’t they pay nurses reasonably well.

The earlier their strike is settled, the better it is for patients, their relatives and for 5 star hospitals, the cash cows which are being taken over by multinational companies of the world.

Reading widely—newspapers and online articles helps learners absorb vocabulary, sentence structures and idiomatic expressions. Writing daily, even short journal entries or emails, sharpens grammar and organization of ideas.

Listening to podcasts, news broadcasts and movies trains the ear to understand different accents and natural speech patterns. Speaking practice, whether with friends or through public speaking, builds confidence and fluency.

Additionally, learning new words in context rather than in isolation makes them easier to remember and use. Grammar exercises and vocabulary apps can also reinforce accuracy.

Finally, self-evaluation by recording and reviewing one’s speech or writing highlights areas for improvement. By combining reading, writing, listening and speaking with regular practice, anyone can steadily enhance their command of English and use it effectively in academic, professional and social contexts.

Discuss both views and state your view.

In many societies, women continue to face discrimination and are denied basic rights. While some people believe that progressive education is the key to addressing this problem, others argue that stringent laws are more effective. Both approaches have their own merits, but I believe that a combination of education and legal enforcement is necessary for lasting change.

On the one hand, progressive education plays a vital role in transforming societal attitudes. By teaching both boys and girls about gender equality, schools can challenge deep-rooted stereotypes and promote mutual respect. Educated women are more likely to pursue careers, become financially independent and assert their rights. For example, countries with high female literacy rates, such as Finland and Canada, show greater gender equality in workplaces and politics. Education also empowers communities to question harmful traditions and practices, gradually reducing discrimination.

On the other hand, without strong legal frameworks, education alone may not be enough. Stringent laws are essential to protect women from violence, exploitation, and unequal treatment. For instance, laws against domestic abuse, workplace harassment and child marriage provide women with legal recourse and send a clear message that such behaviour is unacceptable. Nations like Rwanda, which introduced strict gender-based laws, have seen significant improvements in women’s representation and safety.

In conclusion, I believe that education and legislation must work hand in hand. Education changes mindsets, while laws provide protection and enforcement. Together, they create a society where women can enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

Ans: The debate surrounding the migration of professionals from developing nations to progressive nations has sparked intense discussion. While some argue that governments of developing nations should encourage this trend, others believe it should be discouraged. This essay will examine both perspectives and provide an opinion on the matter.

On one hand, promoting migration of professionals such as engineers and nurses can have several benefits for developing nations. Brain gain is a significant advantage, where professionals acquire new skills, expertise and networks, which can be utilized to contribute to their home country’s development when they return. For instance, the Indian government’s “Make in India” initiative has attracted professionals from the diaspora to return and contribute to the country’s growth. Additionally, remittances sent by migrant professionals in hard currencies can support the economy of the home country, helping to alleviate the issues of the less privileged and stimulate economic growth.

On the other hand, emigration of professionals can lead to brain drain, depriving developing nations of much-needed skills and expertise. This can hinder the development of critical sectors, such as healthcare and education and aggravate existing shortages. To cite an example, the migration of healthcare professionals from Africa to developed countries has worsened the continent’s healthcare crisis. Furthermore, the loss of skilled professionals can lead to a vicious cycle, where developing nations are unable to develop due to the lack of human capital.

In my opinion, governments of developing nations should adopt a balanced approach, neither promoting nor discouraging the migration of professionals. Instead, they should focus on creating an environment that encourages professionals to return and contribute to national development. This can be achieved by investing in education, infrastructure and innovation, making it attractive for professionals to stay or return. For instance, countries like Singapore and Taiwan have successfully implemented policies to attract and retain talent, driving economic growth and development.

In conclusion, while the migration of professionals can bring benefits, it also poses significant challenges for developing nations. Governments should prioritize in creating an environment conducive to development, encouraging professionals to contribute to their home country’s growth, rather than solely promoting or discouraging migration.

Heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of the global Bishop Moore College alumni meet! The event was meticulously planned and the selection of guests was impeccable.

The turnout was impressive, with sexagenarians and septuagenarians from around the world coming together to reminisce about their time at the college. It is a testament to the strong bond that exists among the Bishop Moore College alumni.

The college’s reputation, built over 61 years since its inception in 1964, has spread far and wide, transcending geographical boundaries. It is certainly a credit to the institution’s commitment to excellence and its alumni’s achievements.

A great thank you to everyone involved in making this meet a memorable event. The connections rekindled and memories shared will be treasured forever.

The country’s demographic dividend, with a large, young population below the age of 35, is fueling this progress.

As a result, India is emerging to be global powerhouse. It has already become the fourth largest economic power with 145 crores of people. A huge population need not be a liability; because when they are skilled, they become human resources. Most rich nations are not blessed with enough population, instead are struggling hard with an aging population who are senile and not productive.

India’s present growth is offering vast opportunities for job aspirants in India itself, provided their attitude towards work us proactive, their multitasking ability and, of course, their communication skills in English, the language of global business and trade, is commendable.

With its rapid growth, India is becoming an attractive destination for professionals, entrepreneurs and investors. Given the country’s prosperity and pace of development, it is indeed advantageous for Indian job aspirants to stay in India, leveraging its growing economy and opportunities to build a successful and fulfilling career.

In short, India can easily offer lucrative jobs for its qualified citizens, however big the number of job seekers is.

Let India shine bright.
