Science, Research and Humanity..

Sapidum pothu - yosichitu irunthen: naama panura research-aala saatharana manushanuku ethavuthu piriyojanam irukanu..onnume kidayathu..manushan-a pirantha - namma makala-oda valkaiyai munetra mathri ethavuthu pannanum..munetramnu sollum pothu - I dont intend to mean providing them with mobile phones, color tvs and latest gadgets..

naan pona varusham india pogum pothu erandu incidents nadanthuchu...ithu varaikum yaarukume sollalae..en manasula irunthute iruku..romba yosika vaicha vishayangal..

Tiruvanamalai-la oru incident enna romba padichichu..nenaikave romba koduramana vishayam..naan koil-uku poitu irunthen..appo oru aalai parthen..pitchaikaranu nenaikiren..he was picking up the rice grains from the road and eating..that too antha dirty pavement-la manula irukira rice grains-a thedi thedi sapitu kondu irunthaar..ennaku enna panurathunu theriyala...sari intha alooku konjam mental-nu vachukuvom, but y is it happening like this? Ethanaiyo elaigal saapaduku kashtam paduranga..4 varushathuku munala tamil naatula ethanayo vivasayigal sapaduku kashta pattu suicide pannunanga..manushanuku atleast oru velai unava-vuthu kedaikanum..

Innoru vishayam..enga palaya veetla - oru paati vanthu daily milk packet poduvanga..oru christian paati..en mela avangaluku romba priyam..avangala intha varusham poi parthen..avangaloda pasanga avangalai ambo-nu vittutu poitanga..she is staying in someone's car park..intha kuleer, veyila, she is sleeping in a car park!! avangaluku 4 varushathuku munadi accident aii, her spinal cord broke..still she is going around homes giving milk packets.. ennayum en ammavayum partha vudane - "ennai maranthitingalae ammanu" kathari alaa arambichitanga..en manasa romba pathicha vishayam..

Illayae..so what is the use of inventing new machines and technologies..these technologies do not improve the life of a common man..Panakaran panakaran-a aitu irukan, elai elaiya irukan..

Naaama seyra tholi piraruku uthavanum..suma sambathichoma, santhoshama irunthomanu iruka kudathu..there is no inner satisfaction in that..Paarpom, ennaku sila ennangal iruku - athu nadakirathu iraivan kai-il irukirathu..

Parvati - if u consider what the govts all around the world are spending on developing weapons, sending rockets and trying to find life in mars and doing loads of unnecessary research on useless things, y cant they spend on improving the life of a common man? The term poverty can become obsolete - if a man wishes to..There are many living examples of how one can be of benefit to the society..Eg..Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Mata Amritanadamayi etc..That is what I am trying to say here..According to me - my work should benefit the common man..If I am able to discover a more cheap proactive mechanism to detect Tsunamis, earth quakes using sensors and satellites, and protect millions - then this could give me an inner satisfaction..I would prefer to work on these type of things rather than finding ways to improve methods to provide broadband for all!

I am still wondering y children abandon their parents..I think the fault lies in the parents!! If they had brought up the children with good moral values - then they wuldnt do this..Thus a proper education teaching appropriate moral values to children is imperative..

If government thinks to help them, they can easily do. The govt should organize a team to find the struggling old people and help them or give them some amount of money as pension every month. The govt should use the beggars for the small works of govt, and should allot land and houses for them. The one or two like us think about this is not going to do any for them, if all people thing like this, we can see a big change. We can be software engineers or space scientist with this can we do any thing for poor. What are we going to achieve by finding new planets or sent rocket for moon, if here the people struggle for a single work food (oru velai sappadu).

Awesome post! I also used to feel the same all the time. And since I am also in research, there have been many times I have questioned myself if my research was of any use to someone. True, research does not have immediate results...But in the long run it does help people... But agreed, in my humble opinion, more resources can be diverted to address the basic issues such as poverty etc...but the reality is different ...what to do? I am glad that many people are thinking about this and the collective consciouness will bring about some great changes soon (hoping)!
