Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Tuesday Keralappiravi Day November 1, 2022 Kalyanasougandhikam Kathakali https://youtu.be/49lTzt1cZgI Good Morning 🌅 Today this was conceived as a special edition on the occasion of "Keralappiravi Day" celebrations ( See C to G). Couldn't do full justice to the theme owing to time constraints. Nice Day M G Warrier A Responses/Messages 1) Sitendra Kumar I Collage Dear Shri Warrier, A treasure trove that's what is synonymous of the Collage. It has lot of matter to think over, to ponder for one and all. PM's visit to the army contingent is a great morale booster. This army group is from ASC who are responsible for supplying the troops with necessary provisions including transport. The comments by Shri Rangarajan explain in lucid style the recent developments in England. I have Shri Warrier's book "Restoring Trust in Governance" and I recommend my friends to read the same. The story on 'Cl...

So let me explain what I mean; In the last general election in 2019, the Conservatives (right wing like the US Republican Party) won by a landslide in large part due to the charisma of Boris Johnson, A milder vers...

T V Gopalakrishnan We are having very heated discussions these days about the exchange rate fluctuations and rapid fall in the value of rupee in terms of dollar in particular.However ,the question is when India has known and unknown reserves of plenty of Gold , why not it encash the gold reserves and use it for oil imports or create a separate fund viz Exchange rate equalisation fund exclusively to meet the oil demand and fight the dollar increase . India has good exports and plenty of inward remittances coupled with opportunities to multiply tourists flows from all over the world . I presume there needs to be lot of thinking and action to fight the US dollar with our resources potential . This is the ideal time to think of the Gold bank under the auspices of the RBI and turn the attention of the world bullion market to India and encash the opportunities to take a lead to find resources to develop the economy and make the the dream of becoming a 5 trillion economy a reality . The re...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Monday October 17, 2022 Poems for kids https://youtu.be/4UVozY9dq58 (Don't tell me it's repeat, because it is!) Good Morning As we'll be traveling, Collage is taking a short break. Will try to share Sunday Collage regularly. Nice Day M G Warrier M 134 Thoughts for the Day By Dr T V Gopalakrishnan My pilgrimage has ended today with a visit to Kasi Viswanatha Temple. Tomorrow we will be back in Bangalore. The visit was wonderful with performance of rituals for ancestors and several dips in holy Ganga as part of rituals and boat ride in Ganga. One gets a sense of the otherworld and some idea as to what happens after death. Allahabad Varanasi and Gaya visits teach us to seriously think of the unworthiness of having ego and other possessions proudly held in the materialistic world. If there is a will there is a way to improve the environment, economy, living conditions of the people has been well proved and established in...

The links are indicative only and will take your thoughts to areas of your interest. Last few weeks, we have rushed through different subjects. Those who missed earlier Series, please access my Face Book page or blog. Yesterday I was talking to some of my friends in Thiruvananthapuram. Madhavan Nair told me that he was regularly reading "Collage". I said, "but you are getting it only in the Weekends" The response was interesting : "Whatever message coming from you is Warrier's Collage" Typical Madhavan Nair style. Quoting from my messages he proved that he was perusing my messages. He said he came to know of Vathsala Jayaraman's age from one of her articles shared in my message. Readers beware, once shared in Social Media, nothing remains a secret! M G Warrier Metro Tourism Part III Bangalore Brindaban G...
