Warrier's Collage on Sunday December 8, 2024

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, December 8, 2024 Good Morning Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during the week ending Saturday December 14, 2024. Best Wishes 🙏 and Regards M G Warrier A Collage Magazine The book on my table : Dignity Dialogue, December 2024 These days I am getting two copies of the monthly magazine brought out by the Dignity Foundation, Mumbai. One, my subscriber's copy and second, complementary because the magazine editor Huned Contractor had interviewed me sometime back and published excerpts from the interview in the magazine. A decade ago I used to regularly contribute articles to Dignity Dialogue. Every issue of Dignity Dialogue is a feast of interesting content covering life and lifestyle for readers of all ages. The current issue has a cover story about the well known linguist Dr. Ganesh Devy (75) whose work with the tribal communities across India has been much appreciated. Dr Devy continues to do research and document the many languages of the country - about a 1,000 at the last count. He says, in Arunachal Pradesh there are 200 words to describe snow. Feel the chill! The other articles in the current issue include : 17 Fraud Schemes Hit Pensioners 18 Diabetes and Vision Loss 21 Is Low Back Pain Your Nemesis? 24 Mixed Memories of a US Trip 26 Leave The Phone Aside 28 Of Leaders and Followers 35 Alzheimer's Awareness : Time to Act 37 A Holiday in Hong Kong 40 Sun and Sand in San Francisco 43 Artistic Pleasures 46 In Pursuit of Happiness 49 The Art of Motivation 51 Blogging : Write Your Retirement Story 54 Mughal -E-Azam : Lesser Known Facts 57 Artificial Intelligence : Making Life Comfortable 60 Senior Citizen Wins Case against Insurance Company 63 Celebrations in the City of Joy Thought of giving an idea of the editorial efforts @Dignity Dialogue to cover current issues concerning all age groups with focus on elders. The activities of Dignity Foundation include : 1 Dignity Lifestyle Township , Neral, Raigad 2 Dignity Chai Masti Centres in 8 cities across India 3 Loneliness Mitigation Centres 4 Day Care Centres 5 Dementia Care Centres in 5 Cities B Media Response The Economic Times Chat Room December 6, 2024 Golden rules for lending This refers to the short piece "Keep It Simple, Keep It Shining" by John Muthoot (Economic Times, December 6). The article covers several aspects of lending and lists the prudential norms for microfinance. We have not yet unlocked the potential of gold as a store of value, accessible in times of need for cash. That's because we are yet to convert our domestic gold stock as a bankable asset. People should be encouraged to convert surplus gold into pure gold bars/coins. Similarly, gold stock with individuals and institutions should be accounted, mainstreamed and deployed productively. Religious institutions can follow the Tirupati model of maintaining interest earning gold deposits with banks. Gold management in India can play a pivotal role in economic development. M G WARRIER Mumbai C Remembering the C-Days It's not very pleasant to go back to a chapter most of us are trying to close and forget. This is what T P Sreenivasan wrote in March 2020 : https://www.warriersblog.com/2020/03/not-end-of-world.html There are many of us but, who cannot easily erase the memories of the sufferings, losses and the trauma that lingers on. Coming days we will share some experiences and memories.
