ONAM-Festival of joy and enthusiasm

Onam is kerala's national festival.Actually its a festival of harvest and happiness.Story behind onam is to welcome King Mahabali, whose spirit is said to visit Kerala at the time of Onam.

Story goes that during the reign of mighty asura (demon) king, Mahabali, Kerala witnessed its golden era. Every body in the state was happy and prosperous and king was highly regarded by his subjects. Apart from all his virtues, Mahabali had one shortcoming. He was egoistic. This weakness in Mahabali's character was utilized by Gods to bring an end to his reign as they felt challenged by Mahabali's growing popularity. However, for all the good deed done by Mahabali, God granted him a boon that he could annually visit his people with whom he was so attached.

It is this visit of Mahabali that is celebrated as Onam every year.People will try to welcome with full happiness, well dressed and making good feat on ONAM day.

Also one important thing is that where we are we will try to reach in our home in that day and have a Family get together and share our happiness with paresnts and relatives bye giving new cloths and love.

A flower carpet called 'Pookalam' is laid in front of every house to welcome the advent of the vanquished king, and earthen mounds representing Mahabali and Vishnu are placed in the dung-plastered courtyards.

Although this festival has its origin in Hindu mythology, Onam is for all people of all class and creed

Aug 15-Our independant day

For this August 15th also at-least we need to remember about 1947 fight against British by the leadership of our national hero Mahatmaji for a minute at-least. Since they saved our country by giving everything to our nation. Because of their hard work only we have our good life today.

I have so many positive and negative questions:

>>Why Mahatmaji didn't get a chance to become the first PM instead of Nehruji? If all force also Mahatmaji wont agree to be our first PM (like Nelson Mandela)

>>If we fighted with the leadership of Nethaji, did we get freedom before 1947 Aug? maybe ,but am sure we need to give so many life more!!

>>All our freedom fighters got proper recognitions?

Why we are ignoring animals while driving?

If you check newspaper,daily we may come across news like animals are killed by vehicles.I feel very bad,since our drivers don't take that much care for animals while they drive.Did you seen anytime in the road animals like cows,dogs etc are waiting with full tension for crossing the road.
We humans believe the earth is ours and its not at all for other animals.Since we are too smart,we are using all the property of others and enjoying.If we continue this...please remember it wont be always the same.

So be vigilant and extra care if we see animals while driving and if they try to cross the road.Please stop and allow them to go anywhere they like and proceed.
