While reading the daily descriptions on this event, several thoughts emerged in and merged with customs, beliefs, cults, trust, love, rituals, inheritance, and above all culture of groups of people residing in this beautiful area and the genuine reality of life underneath…..
As usual, while audio and visual media celebrate the incident by hourly descriptions, group discussions, interviews and videos on it, for sustaining viewers and satisfying their quest (or right) to know, I was deeply moved by a query-so spontaneous from a ten year old, who was watching and following it up, and it awakened in me the need for Design Thinking around our activities–done, seen, experienced, visualized or victimized…Also a sixth or seventh sense opened in , around the sources: of what has come out, from sixteen years duration.
Just this ”Mumma, these are parts of a channel Mega Serial in Malayalam, as usual, or do these things really happen there??”
That opened a possibility, a source of deviation in thinking; many similar incidents WE the remaining ones never remembered to dig in…..even accidents on roads. To have more publicity, heart freezing, plotting on life in many ways as depicted in serials, making it mega mega serials, hinting new methods of revenge, suicide, avenge , homicide and family ruptures….it is still more than that..okay. Is it Enhancing the mental health of a society ??or cause doom?
On 10/10/2019 – we just raise this to the consciousness of all of us – rethink, it’s time.
ON THIS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY, WE AT DNA OF EXCELLENCE GROUP encourage you all, for a Self Digging-into incidents : seen, experienced, heard, read, visualized or happened around us; so far just neglected areas of us and of others’ needs as well.
A koodathai person is not just one – seemingly ordinary person, just walk and act in between us, now came into limelight but a representative of many who really do mischief’s, in the backing of many…(namely money, gang, supporters, social good name, political hold…) Just be aware of self and others. Help those in need of advise, guidance, model, goals..the way we can. Let us pledge to rescue the social consciousness, instead of blaming individuals causing damage, let us lend a hand to RAISE the morale and so mental health of our groups.
Nothing demoralizing, emerged in a day; but gradually formed, so let us create healthy relations, selfless organizing, nice surroundings, goal oriented life skills, leading and promising models, and value systems to revive and empower adolescents, youngsters, adults and ‘matured’ alike. IT IS POSSIBLE-START TODAY THE MENTAL HEALTH DAY….Otherwise its just naming a day without any sustaining change…
