"Thanks. Especially for your best wishes for my 'ayurarogyasoukhyam'. I have long life all right ( I'm 94) but no arogyam, always plagued by old age ailments. I have landed at a nephew's house at Kottakkal. All the best. PM Warrier" I have some friends, now in their 80's and nineties, whom I have never met, and may or may not meet during the coming years. Last two or three years, we have tried to keep in touch with like-minded people through Collage and many have found the route useful.

February 13, 2023 Restructuring Indian tax system Your editorial "Closing the gaps" (The Hindu Business Line, February 13) could easily double up as an introduction to a background note for a national debate on restructuring Indian tax system. Both the treasury side and the opposition benches across legislative bodies in Centre and states need to sit back and do some homework to find some way out from the present stalemate. Present pattern is, even before discussion on central and state budgets begin, the opposition opposes new taxes and increase in the existing taxes, governments succumbing to pressure drops some new taxes and dilute rise in taxes and some mutual blames continue about low tax recovery. Opposition uses the end result for continuing the grievances about inadequate budget provisions in priority areas. A proactive opposition should participate in the budget debates, suggesting alternative tax avenues and taking their fight straight to the tax-evaders...

"You're walking on a beach. A young beautiful lady coming from front. What would you do? " The young man replied - "She will be seen, I will start admiring her personality". Guruji asked - "After that girl developed, will you also look back? " The young man said - yes, if my wife is not with me.

While simple exercises can be attempted without any expert guidance, before attempting regular yogic postures it's always advisable to try under the guidance and supervision of a trained Yoga Teacher. Nice Day M G Warrier A Messages/Responses 1) Vathsala Jayaraman Shri Babusenan's take on 'Speech' and debating' takes my thoughts to Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad containing the discussion between Yagnavakya and Maitreyi. आत्मा वा अरे द्रष्टव्यः श्रोतव्यो मन्तव्यो निदिध्यासितव्यः' – ‘Ãtmã vã are drashtavyaha shrotavyo mantavyo nididhyãsitavyaha’ (Bruhadãranyaka Upanishad: 2/4/5). Meaning, one must en...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Friday February 3, 2023 Tourism in and around Kannur https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g777115-d3913076-Reviews-or15-Arakkal_Museum-Kannur_Kannur_District_Kerala.html Good Morning Nice Day M G Warrier A Messages/Responses 1) C V Subbaraman Even before completing reading the Collage of TODAY, I am urged irresistibly to write to you about the fantastic speech of Eddie Jaku. Oh, what a speech! I would walk a thousand miles gladly to listen to such a speech. It is deeply inspiring. Every word is chosen to be an invaluable ruby. The speech just does not come from the brain or the tongue or the mouth. It comes from the inner recesses of the speaker's heart. It comes from his experience of his life, his sufferings, his love, his urge to survive, his hopes and his aspirations. If perhaps such a speech had been delivered before Adolf Hitler, before the holocaust took place, such a terrible unforgettable tragedy would not ha...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Wednesday February 1, 2023 1) J Santhanakrishnan uploaded a video https://youtu.be/FZNTEGklYrs (Link shared by S Nallasivan) 2) Lecture on Vishnusahasranamam https://youtu.be/oGdQqmKER3A 3) Peacock Dance https://youtu.be/iUEnu96vjjw Good Morning Since childhood when watching Narasimhavatharam Kathakali in temple premises in Purameri (Kozhikode Kerala) the Narasimha concept has fascinated me. In everyone's life, there will be moments when things get out of control and one wishes, some external intervention happens to save the situation. Art and art forms including paintings and poetry have drawn inspiration from such situations also. If you watch the performance and listen to the artists with these thoughts in mind, perhaps you will forget the controversy about God and religion and just enjoy the efforts of the artists. 🙏 After discontinuing writing articles on serious subjects, I have been posting short snippets at my Times of Ind...
