This is creating awareness, Suresh! You cant just watch with folded hands when something precious( the youth) is perishing in front of your eyes! I am not an avatar! I never boast to be one. My criticism is not for time passing. I strongly feel something must be done!
The story “maayaththirai” published in last week’s Anada Vikadan fails to be agreeable to my palate. I wonder if I have company to share the feeling. Most likely not!!! The author of the story about whom an impressive intro is given in the front half of the book as her letter to the magazine says this is her second story. After reading the story I feel it no great loss to the society in her misfortune of not being to write so long. The candid expression of quite controversial moral standards in the story , a sort of upholding wayward moral behaviour and personal sexual impressions of the characters lead me to think, “Aren’t there already too many preachers for such concepts? One more old lady joining the bandwagon -the deterioration gathering momentum!” Circulation is expected to increase by publishing such moral perversities, delinquencies and atrocities by creating a sensationalisation of complex issues. A pathetic commercialization tactics at the cost of corroding impressionable minds!
I support you!I too am an optimist no matter how things run at the moment.Pessimists can not change a society for the good.The very little you can do to change this society counts too!If you speak out truth and nobody listens,don't bother,they will listen one day.And even if they don't your conscience will not trouble you for not speaking out!So go ahead! :DQuote:

So PP what's your plan now. Get people's support in forum and that's it? I am not asking this to belittle your effort. Just curious on your action plan and how could I help. (Something more than writing "Letters to Editor) You know what I mean:-)
Krishnan, I dont understand clearly what you want to say. Hope you are desirous of joining the little group of like-minded sane people around here. Thanx for following up my voice everywhere. Dont you find a consistency of purpose of the caption I have given under my signature?
Krishnan, creating awareness is as important as taking action.
Krishnan was actually right in asking. Awareness creation is all good...but with no action, that awareness soon becomes a mere memory; sometimes, not even that.
Again, perhaps his questions stems from a sense of frustration that is natural to all. We see discussions and discussions every day. People hold conferneces the world over to discuss issues. But at the end of the day, what is the result? If people gathered to state their viewpoints, hey, what is the big deal. Consider for example the issue which gave rise to this thread. Everyone who contributed to this thread stated his/her condemnation of the episode, delivered their homilies on youth and education and everything, but that is what they anyway feel. You and I out there who expressed our views on this thread have not been changed in anyway by it. We have remained the same. What change has occured by our discussion?
Have we been able to reach out to society? Has this awareness been created in society or is it merely in the subsection of society that frequents this hub and which, incidentally, subscribes to the view already? We are merely stating what we are all already aware of. Have we been able to carry this awareness forward to those who are not aware?
I for one welcome Krishnan's question. I think it gives a new focus to this thread. We all spent days discussing the "shame". We have all condemmed it. Now that we have given a free vent to our spleen, why not move towards a conscious effort to spread this awareness? Why not make these discussions into a concrete reality?
Any takers for this? Anyone willing to say these are the things we can do to make this a reality? Why not discuss action points?
How do you know the discussions put forth here go unnoticed?For every well informed person there are more ppl who have no idea what is happening in the society. For them, what they dont know, dont exist. With regards to the subsection of society, please bear in mind that there are many ppl who may not contribute or participate actively but nevertheless visit the site anonymously. Dont you think at least one of the many discussions we have had here might have made others view matters differently from their initial perception? I see this as one form of action.Quote:

Is it not what we are doing now? :)Quote:
