Even though the percentage of literary ratio is high all over the world uncivilized activities are growing day by day. Humanism remains of only in leaders speeches and text. The literates think themselves they are educated. Actually the education means not only reading and writing experience but also willing to mind other's rights and feelings.
Humanism should be top agenda in the education instead of Nationalism, Regionalism and Spiritualism. All of the limitations are not stronger than that of what cemented in us. If we determined to break the high walls, which built a strong foundation in our hearts, distance from people to people would be disappeared.

Manideepam
Doha :
Second edition of short stories, poems written by late child prodigy
released DOHA :
A collection of short stories and poems, written by the late child prodigy
Absar Manjiyil, was released at a function organised by the ICRC Arts Wing on
Thursday. Ideal Indian School
Headmaster Professor Abdul Ali gave the first copy of the anthology Manideepam
to C P Ravindran, production editor of Gulf Times. Absar, 13, son of Azeez
Manjiyil, a Doha
resident, drowned in Kumbilly canal in Trichur while playing with friends on
June 26 2003. He was a student of Ideal
Indian School
till the third standard and had moved to his native place to continue studies,
with his mother and younger brother, where the accident occurred. During his
short span of life he wrote a few short stories, poems and some essays, which
can be rated as good, say critics. Abdul Ali gave examples of famous English
poets Keats and Shelly, and Emperor Alexander to illustrate that many great
people have had a short lifespan in this world. He said more in-depth studies
on the boy's poems should be carried out. C P Ravindran said the writings of
the child prodigy reminded him of his early days. Children's musings and
thoughts are very different from those of adults. Absar's poems shed light on
the intricacies of life and death, he said, adding that his revolutionary ideas
were promising. His vision of a broad world, where people in the North take
care of those in the South, is sound advice for our leaders and politicians,
Ravindran said. The ICRC Arts Wing will conduct a yearly competition in short
stories, poems and essays in memory of Absar, declared S A M Bashir, in his
presidential address. Kollam K Rajesh and Absar's younger brother, Ansar,
recited poems written by Absar. M T Nilamboor, Abdul Aziz Nallaveettil, Khalid
Arackel, and Mohan Ayroor also spoke on the occasion. Anie Samuel introduced
the guests. Iqbal Chettuva delivered a vote of thanks. The programme was
compered by Hasanul Benna. There was also an exhibition of Absar's original
scripts along with photographs depicting some memorable moments in his life.
