Until now it was the colleges who were after banning mobiles phones from campuses. Now it looks like the Kerala Government is bend upon banning mobile phones in schools and colleges. The claimed reason being the misuse of phones by children.
What ever the government or the principals say about children using mobile phone, one thing is sure. No child can misuse a mobile to a greater extent than an adult can misuse it. Will this ban be effective for teachers also. I know quite a few teachers who are “misusing” their mobiles.
Media reports about the ban quote a principal who said that the daily routines of the children are affected by using mobiles phones. I wonder what routine he is referring to. Is it
- Writing Impositions to satisfy teachers ego.
- Stupid copy writing (i did that for 10 years and still my hand writing is pathetic)
- Trying to remember a few dates and names for the sake of history
- Learning what kind of soil is there in the northern region of Bihar
- Doing some creepy arithmetic without calculators
The biggest argument against giving phones to children is an mms clip showing an intimate moment of a school girl and boy. Hey…… thats just one clip. There are thousands of other clips shot by adults. Shouldn’t we be considering a ban on adults using mobile phone considering the fact that they are misusing it more.
What does this ban tell the younger ones ?
Does it convey the message that its ok to misuse mobile phones when one becomes an adult ? Why do we certify certain movies as adults only ? Does a wrong become a right when someone crosses 18 yrs of life.
Why are we always after the kids. They dont invent crime. We teach them crime. Its us who needs a change and not the school kids.

Today I read a news report that some engineer was arrested for having started a community that says something against Maratha Sivaji. After all who is Sivaji ? Isnt he just another king who tried to protect his kingdom ? How did he become a national hero ?
In Kerala someone else was arrested for starting a community “I hate Sindhu Joy”. The lady happened to be a (famous/notorious) student leader. Something similar happened to the person who started “I hate Sonia Gandhi” community also.
Is it illegal to hate someone ? Whats wrong in starting hate communities. If I don’t like someone, cant I just openly say that I hate that person. If we are to prosecute the hate community owners there will be thousands of them cos every celebrity will have a hate community.
Cos I am an Indian citizen, am I entitled to respect the so called national leaders and national symbols. What if I think Indira Gandhi was a tyrant ? What If I think of Advani as the next Hitler ? What If I think Prathibha Patel is an idiot and not fit to be the Indian President ?
Dosent freedom mean I have the freedom to hate anyone I like and express it also ? Which Indian law states that I shouldn’t form an Anti xxxxxxx group.

Today I met 2 engineering students at CCD. I requested a meeting with them after having seen their new serivce offering Slice and Stitch. This is what they have to say about their service.

I must really say that their services are in great demand. I myself have felt the need for dedicated XHTML, CSS coders. These guys can do photoshop also.

Took a break from the regular activities and tried film making. This is the output. Click on the image to see the video.
Film making is not as complicated as I thought. All that it takes is some work on the script and a shoot date. Everyone can make movies. If you think you have an idea, work on it and make a good script out of it. Amvizone will help you convert it to a movie.
