കാർമുകിൽ വർണൻ

എന്നാലും എന്റെ കൃഷ്ണാ എല്ലാവരും തന്നെ നീലത്തിൽ മുക്കി കളഞ്ഞല്ലോ അല്ല കുറ്റം പറയാൻ പറ്റില്ല ഈ നാട് ഒരിക്കലും കറുപ്പിനെ സ്നേഹിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. പണ്ട് ആരൊക്കെയോ ചേർന്ന് നിർമ്മിച്ച ജാതി പട്ടികയിൽ കറുപ്പന്റെ സ്ഥാനം താഴെ ആയിരുന്നു, അതങ്ങനെ തലമുറ കൈമാറി കൈമാറി ഇപ്പോഴും നിലനിൽക്കുന്നു.

കറുത്തവന് എന്നും ഒരു ജാതിയെ കൽപിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളു. എങ്ങാനും സ്വന്തം കുഞ്ഞ് കറുതത്തായാല്ലോ പിന്നെ അങ്ങോട്ട് വെളുപ്പിക്കാനുള്ള ശ്രമങ്ങൾ അല്ലേ. ഇത്ര അധികം സൗന്ദര്യ വർദ്ധന വസ്തുകൾ എങ്ങനാ വിപണിയിൽ എത്തിയത് കറുപ്പൻ വെള്ളുക്കാൻ നോക്കുന്നോണ്ട് അല്ലെ. ഇൗ ഭൂപരകൃതിയും ഇവിടുത്തെ ഭക്ഷണവും മനസ്സിലാകാതെ എന്ത് ചെയ്തിട്ട് എന്തിനാ.

ഭാവി തലമുറ എങ്കിലും കറുപ്പിനെ പുച്ഛത്തോടെ കാണലെ കൃഷ്ണാ എന്ന് പ്രാർത്ഥനയെ ഒള്ളു അപ്പോഴേക്കും നീ നീലത്തിൽ നിന്നും കറുപ്പിലെയ്ക് തിരികെ വരുമോ?

It's High Time!! We Need to Act for the Western Ghats

Today, a devastating landslide in the hilly regions near Meppadi in Wayanad, Kerala, has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 63 lives, with 116 people injured and hundreds more believed to be trapped. This disaster, which coincides with heavy rainfall, is a stark reminder of the urgent need to heed the warnings and recommendations of the Gadgil Report. The recent landslide in Wayanad is not an isolated incident. Kerala is a state highly vulnerable to natural disasters and the changing climatic dynamics given its location along the sea coast and with a steep gradient along the slopes of the Western Ghats. Kerala is also one of the most densely populated Indian states (860 persons per square kilometer), which makes it even more vulnerable to damages and losses on account of disasters. The heavy rainfall triggered a landslide that swept through the region, causing significant destruction and loss of life. Such incidents highlight the fragile nature of the Western Ghats and the dire co

Why it's so hot now: India's Heat Wave Crisis

As temperatures soar across various parts of India, a major concern grips the nation: the ongoing heat wave. But what exactly is a heat wave, and why does it bring such extreme conditions? Let's look into the details to understand the current situation, its underlying causes, and what can be done to mitigate its impact. Image credits: The Academic What is a Heat Wave? A heat wave isn't just a hot day or two; it's an extended period of exceptionally high temperatures coupled with humidity. During a heat wave, hot air gets trapped near the ground, creating a dome-like effect that prevents cooler air from moving in. This phenomenon is often caused by high-pressure systems in the atmosphere, which act like a lid, locking the heat in. Why is India Experiencing Severe Heat Waves? Several factors contribute to the intensity and frequency of heat waves in India. Climate change stands out as a significant driver, altering weather patterns and exacerbating extreme heat events.

A Promise for Christmas

In a city where Christmas was not just a season but a vibrant spectacle, I grew up as a wide-eyed girl with dreams as big as the festive decorations that adorned our neighbor's homes. The streets glittered with twinkling lights, and the air was thick with the fragrance of plum cakes, a sweet promise of holiday joy. My family wasn't rich, and though love filled our home, financial struggles cast a shadow over our ability to partake in the extravagant celebrations around us. Each year, as Christmas approached, I would gaze longingly at the festive storefronts and imagine the warmth that a Christmas tree, a crib, and hanging stars would bring to our home. "Mom, Dad, can we please buy a Christmas tree this year?" I would ask, hope and longing woven into my voice. My parents, their eyes filled with love but burdened by the weight of our circumstances, would reply with a gentle, "Sweetheart, we're tight on money this year. But we have each other, and that's t
