Decolonisation

Yesterday's news that the name 'Kerala' has officially been replaced by 'Keralam'. I wish that our Central Government replaces names of all cities, towns and villages which carry colonial names by Hindu names, for example, 'Delhi' by 'Indraprasthaam' and 'India' by 'Bhaarath varsh'.

Currently used names such as 'Andhra Pradesh', 'Uttar Pradesh', 'Madhya Pradesh' and 'Tamilnadu' need fine-tuning to 'Andhra Pradesham', 'Uttara Pradesham', 'Madhya Pradesham' and 'Tamizh Naadu' respectively.




Sarvam Krishna Mayam🙏.

Reader's Digest

This afternoon I was waiting at the reception room of a dentist. I had gone to get a tooth removed, cavity filling and denture fixing.

As I sat there, the latest edition of Reader's Digest  caught my attention. As I turned the pages, I could see significant welcome  improvements in the monthly, from it's size to contents.

I couldn't help appreciate how technology apps such as Google Chrome have helped us to read magazines online without paying for them.

Technology is good if handled by good people.

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

With heavy heart, I remember having seen a laminated image of Raghavendra Swamy near my beloved brother on his bed during his last days. As far as I know, my brother was a great devotee of Shree Krishnaa.

AI Summit in Delhi

Recently begun AI Summit  seems to feaurre more exiting aspects of AI than previously with celebrities such as Google's Sunder Pitchai, Infosys's Nandan Nilekeni etc.

While the deliberations and proceedings in the Meet will pave way for further development, I hope that it will come up with cyber crime solutions that will be more effective than those applied currently.
