M G Warrier Collage Editorial My message to my friends and relatives have gone through several experiments since 2009 when my daughter Reshmy helped me to start a blog. Now www.warriersblog.com which has since crossed few lakhs views (In 2009 there was only one post at my Blog. Sharing the information for beginners in communication) Today's Collage is focused on poetry through three generations. Starting with Edasserikkavitha. I tried to understand more about Edasseri after observing my RBI colleague and friend Edasseri Madhavan. I learnt more about detachment and focussing on own affairs from him. I was a multi-focussed, diverse person partly owing to circumstances. Opportu...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Holi, March 14, 2025 HAPPY HOLI Friends Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during the week ending Saturday, March 21, 2025. M G Warrier A Cover Story : Significance of Holi https://youtu.be/NSHHIqJ7OTk?si=JuakxrsNEmFDJ7o8 B Who Wrote Mahabharata? https://www.ganapatibappa.com/vyasa-mahabharata-story-written-by-ganapati-bappa/ This is an interesting illustrative story worth pondering over. Remembered today in a different context. I am amazed to think about the interconnection of mythological tales. The pencil used by Ganapathy to write Mahabharata dictated by Vyasa. Thereafter the character has only one dantha left (to be known as ekadanta). Poor Ganapathy had earlier undergone a head transplant surgery successfully carried out by his mother Parvathy. That's another story. C Collage in Classroom Science Behind Holi https://ncsm.gov.in/resources/blog/science-behind-holi-the-festival-of-colours Holi, the festiva...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, March 9, 2025 Friends Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday this week. M G Warrier A Cover Story Are doctors entirely to blame?* Many of my readers complain that I do not point out the deficiencies and faults of doctors that they feel is behind the mess. I do not agree to the extent of the popular perception because I envisage the role of the system in shaping them. The doctor traditionally became a part of modern medicine because she or he wanted to genuinely help people. Disease had become a part and parcel of society (thanks to the extensive more than a century old small pox vaccine campaign that has a list of 62 adverse effects associated with it), and people were moved enough to study medicine and do their bit to alleviate pain and suffering. Modern medicine appealed to the heart because it offered an easy way out. Just diagnose a disease based upon a classification of symptoms and prescribe medicines to cure it...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, February 23, 2025 🙏 Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during this week. M G Warrier A Remaining active Watched a video clip in which a young lady introduced her 94 years old aunt from Thalassery who opted painting as a hobby around her middle age During the pandemic I wrote about "Knowing when to stop and make a new beginning" : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog/warriersviews/knowing-when-to-stop-and-make-a-new-beginning-30305/ Then, the focus was on the first half of the title. Yes, it's important to know when to stop. In Malayalam there is a saying which means "One should stop singing when ones voice is best". But the suggestion that one should know when to stop doesn't mean that discontinuing an activity for which one is no more suitable for any reason should be the end of active life for the person. First let's discuss hobbies. Like painting, knitting, drawing, gard...
