Simply because it's against the basic common sense and the basic democratic values we stand up for.Why is the Kerala state against the Citizenship Amendment Bill?Any sensible Indian, who believes the values which our forefathers decided at the time of formation of Union of India, will oppose this extremely sinister, absolutely communal, xenophobic amendments.I can’t speak for entire Keralites, but my conscience which is purely that of a typical Malayalee psyche refuses to accept any element of Hindutva as natural order for India. We don’t see India as NATION OF HINDUs, rather we see India as a nation of all Indians who believe in the idea of India. The idea of India belongs to all of us, not any religion. Even if you don’t have a religion, even if you were born outside India, as long as you believe in the concept of India, you are Indian. India is neither Pakistan nor Israel to believe in the country of any religious group. Hindus of Pakistan or Bangladesh are not Indians in any manner, as they are primarily Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. So as Sri Lankan Tamils are primarily Sri Lankans, not Indians. They are welcome to India to become an Indian if due process of naturalization is followed. But that due process must be common for all. A Pakistani Muslim and Pakistani Hindu who runs away from their state out of fear of life must be treated in same way in India as both are Pakistanis. We cannot pull their trousers down and determine the right of naturalization. The underlying principle for any refugee nationalization should be HUMANITY, not religion (ofcourse- state security is equally important, but state security must not be viewed in the religious prism). If you call a refugee who runs away from his/her homeland to another country out of fear of his/her life as a termite, there can’t difference between Hindu termite and Muslim Termite.So a larger percentage of us (atleast those Malayalees whom I know and understands thro’ media) rejects the idea of the differentiated rule of naturalization based on religion and we understand the larger motives.We Malayalees joined the Union of India in 1949 out of our genuine passion and interest to be part of a multi-cultural diverse society with a common identity of being Indians. Our former identities, ie Travancore and Kochi (even older Malabar Kingdoms) were Hindu Kingdoms ruled in name of the Hindu deities. We collectively decided we don’t need to remain in such identity and moved to a secular identity of India. In a way, it was a collective decision of our forefathers to move out from then-the Hindu Rashtras of Travancore and Cochin. Our forefathers fought against Travancore which declared Independence from India in 1946. Travancore wanted to establish a Hindu Independent Kingdom where Lord Vishnu would be the constitutional sovereign of the state. We threw that constitution into the Arabian sea and embraced India for its secular identity. Now, don’t tell us to accept Nagpur’s diktats and Manusmriti ideals as our new constitutional values. If so, isn’t it far better to revive that Old Travancore Constitution? Atleast its in Malayalam, rather than being part of Hindi Aryavrat!!!So in no way, we can accept the sinister motives of CAB and upcoming NRC which are the first steps to establish a Hindu Rashtra. If so, the Indian Union should be expecting something that happened to USSR in 1991.The Government of Kerala has reaffirmed once again, by no means and way, CAB and NRC will be allowed in Kerala. This has been reconfirmed by Chief Minister of Kerala- Pinarayi Vijayan after a special cabinet meeting todayKerala refuses to implement CAB, joins Punjab, BengalOfcourse, legally its not possible, because Kerala is just a state of Republic of India and no way, it can legally avoid legislation passed by Government of India.But Kerala government, like any government, can be at choice to adhere or not adhere. Unless the government machinery adheres to law, no laws can be implemented. For example, CPM at the national level is opposed to UAPA law and often says its draconian. But in Kerala, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, even though a member of Polit Bureau of CPM, differs much on it. He believes a law like UAPA is very much needed against enemies of the state, particularly Naxals quite contrary to his party’s position. And as he is the Home Minister too, he has given an upper hand to State Police to implement UAPA and arrest every Pro-Naxal elements in the state, which recently includes 2 young members of his own party. Despite of his party’s opposition, he was able to convince them, its important for state security and must move ahead with it.What if, Pinarayi Vijayan like all other typical CPM leaders, don’t believe in UAPA? It won’t be charged at the very first place and instructions would be given to police never to adhere to that law. There are 100s of Laws that Kerala don’t adhere much, even though it exists as a National law. For example, the Govt of India brought RERA ACT (Real estate Regulation Act 2016), but even today its a non-starter in Kerala (almost after 3 years). In the paper, there is a regulator in Kerala, but hardly any powers or authority as no rules or relegation of powers ever made. So the national act is unenforceable in Kerala (I want that law to be enforced in Kerala, by the way).So what can Govt of India do? Can they bring officials from Delhi and manage Kerala RERA?The same thing associated with CAB and NRC.I am not sure, how they say, they will not implement CAB as Citizenship doesn’t fall under the state government’s scope of governance unlike RERA/UAPA cases as I mentioned above.But I guess, its more of a political statement, to reaffirm the official stand of Kerala Govt. Kerala society in the majority (barring a small section of Pro-BJP elements) are opposed to the concept of CAB. All political parties in the state sense that mood. If I believe, even BJP Kerala unit also senses that mood well as they are taking extra care not to make any sort of statements on this matter. I was so surprised to see how moderately even this discussion happened in their own Malayalam news channel- Janam TV which is always known for typical RSS styled aggressive rhetorics. No major leader of the BJP unit in Kerala has made any aggressive statement so far, which alone proves they too realize the mood of the public. So barring some extreme Islamophobic Sanghi fanatics of some fringe groups, even RWs in Kerala aren’t talking much on CAB.Anyways, CAB is not something serious in Kerala as we don’t have any case of people of those 3 countries (Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan) living here as refugees. Kerala society as such always takes note of non-Malayalees living inside Kerala and its not that easy for outsiders (barring south Indians like Tamilians or Tulu or similar) to quickly assimilate into Kerala society. So unlike Assam, we don’t have issues/fears of Bengalis taking over Kerala society or its culture as they aren’t able to assimilate into Kerala culture and always seen as outsiders, thus effectively reducing chances altering demographics. And again, even with massive dependence on so-called Bengali workers for all kinds of low-strata jobs, they are not that high in number unlike neighbouring Karnataka etc. So CAB as such is not worrisome for Kerala.But Malayalee community sees CAB as a sinister motive to be used when NRC being rolled out by Central Govt. That time, those existing Indian citizens, if unable to submit the so-called documents of citizens as mandated by Central Govt, may be stripped of their citizenship. It's in such circumstances CAB as such works into play.Though CAB as such doesn’t have much role for Kerala govt to play in, NRC will definitely have.NRC, to be rolled out, needs state government and its machinery support. Even if Central Govt dismisses the current state government and has President rule’s to implement NRC as per its whims and fancies, the state machinery will not cooperate. What I understand is that all Employees unions associated with both UDF and LDF are planning to have a common understanding to boycott any NRC process in Kerala. Some online news reports are even suggestion State Police Association (informal union of non-IPS officials of Kerala Police) are too mooting such plans of disassociating with any NRC process. In short, it simply means MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE as done in the British Era.So the current declaration of Kerala CM is a strong message to entire employees, there is a strong political will in the state to boycott or resist any action of NRC in the state aimed to polarize Indian society.So as Kerala Govt already hinted that they will file a case in Supreme court against CAB, once it becomes a law. That is also a powerful symbolic action when a state govt itself making a petition before Court to nullify the action of Central Govt.I guess, that's all, a State Government can do in this matter. Rest all will be political action. And Kerala is never strange to political action. Already both UDF and LDF has decided to call mass conventions to protest against this law and every single political organization is now gearing to resist this new law. So things won’t be that easy anyway.Further readingMy idea of India which is not that of RSS idea of IndiaBoth LDF, UDF gear up to protest against CAB in Kerala | Thiruvananthapuram News - Times of IndiaCAB legislation RSS idea to communally divide people: Pinarayi VijayanKerala Forum passes a resolution against CAB-NPR-NRC | SabrangIndiaKerala's Farook College, known as the AMU of the South, launches protest against CABOn Kerala film festival stage, anti-Citizenship Amendment Bill banners raisedSamastha plans protest against Citizenship Bill

There are two ways one is you can try through your college admin if you are an old student left college years ago better you can go to kakatiya University directly and pay challanh of some 500 rupees and you need to submit photo copies of your highest education certificate. Once you paid challanh and submission of certificates they will send you the convocation via post or if its urgent they will charge more to handover you immediately.

It was once believed that brain function peaked during early adulthood and then slowly declined, leading to lapses in memory and brain fog during your golden years.Now it's known that our modern lifestyle plays a significant role in contributing to cognitive decline, which is why exposure to toxins, chemicals, poor diet, lack of sleep, stress, and much more can actually hinder the functioning of your brain.The flipside is also true in that a healthy lifestyle can support your brain health and even encourage your brain to grow new neurons, a process known as neurogenesis.Your brain's hippocampus, i.e. the memory center, is especially able to grow new cells and it's now known that your hippocampus regenerates throughout your entire lifetime (even into your 90s), provided you give it the tools to do so.These "tools" are primarily lifestyle-based, which is wonderful news. You don't need an expensive prescription medication or any medical procedure at all to boost your brain, and your memory. You simply must try out the following tricks to improve your memory.Eat RightThe foods you eat – and don't eat – play a crucial role in your memory. Fresh vegetables are essential, as are healthy fats and avoiding sugar and grain carbohydrates. You can find detailed information about nine foods for brainpower here.For instance, curry, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and walnuts contain antioxidants and other compounds that protect your brain health and may even stimulate the production of new brain cells.Increasing your animal-based omega-3 fat intake and reducing consumption of damaged omega-6 fats (think processed vegetable oils) in order to balance your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, is also important. I prefer krill oil to fish oil, as krill oil also contains astaxanthin, which not only protects the omega-3 fats from oxidation but also appears to be particularly beneficial for brain health.Coconut oil is another healthful fat for brain function. According to research by Dr. Mary Newport, just over two tablespoons of coconut oil (about 35 ml or 7 level teaspoons) would supply you with the equivalent of 20 grams of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which is indicated as either a preventative measure against degenerative neurological diseases, or as a treatment for an already established case.ExerciseExercise encourages your brain to work at optimum capacity by stimulating nerve cells to multiply, strengthening their interconnections and protecting them from damage.During exercise nerve cells release proteins known as neurotrophic factors. One in particular, called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), triggers numerous other chemicals that promote neural health, and directly benefits cognitive functions, including learning.A 2010 study on primates published in Neuroscience also revealed that regular exercise not only improved blood flow to the brain, but also helped the monkeys learn new tasks twice as quickly as non-exercising monkeys.This is a benefit the researchers believe would hold true for people as well.1 In a separate one year-long study, individuals who engaged in exercise were actually growing and expanding the brain's memory center one to two percent per year, where typically that center would have continued to decline in size.To get the most out of your workouts, I recommend a comprehensive program that includes high-intensity interval exercise, strength training, stretching, and core work, along with regular intermittent movement.Stop MultitaskingUsed for decades to describe the parallel processing abilities of computers, multitasking is now shorthand for the human attempt to do simultaneously as many things as possible, as quickly as possible. Ultimately, multitasking may actually slow you down, make you prone to errors as well as make you forgetful.Research shows you actually need about eight seconds to commit a piece of information to your memory, so if you're talking on your phone and carrying in groceries when you put down your car keys, you're unlikely to remember where you left them.The opposite of multitasking would be mindfulness, which helps you achieve undistracted focus. Students who took a mindfulness class improved reading comprehension test scores and working memory capacity, as well as experienced fewer distracting thoughts.If you find yourself trying to complete five tasks at once, stop yourself and focus your attention back to the task at hand. If distracting thoughts enter your head, remind yourself that these are only "projections," not reality, and allow them to pass by without stressing you out. You can then end your day with a 10- or 15-minute meditation session to help stop your mind from wandering and relax into a restful sleep.Get a Good Night's SleepResearch from Harvard indicates that people are 33 percent more likely to infer connections among distantly related ideas after sleeping,3 but few realize that their performance has actually improved. Sleep is also known to enhance your memories and help you "practice" and improve your performance of challenging skills. In fact, a single night of sleeping only four to six hours can impact your ability to think clearly the next day.The process of brain growth, or neuroplasticity, is believed to underlie your brain's capacity to control behavior, including learning and memory. Plasticity occurs when neurons are stimulated by events, or information, from the environment. However, sleep and sleep loss modify the expression of several genes and gene products that may be important for synaptic plasticity.Furthermore, certain forms of long-term potentiation, a neural process associated with the laying down of learning and memory, can be elicited in sleep, suggesting synaptic connections are strengthened while you slumber.As you might suspect, this holds true for infants too, and research shows that naps can give a boost to babies' brainpower. Specifically, infants who slept in between learning and testing sessions had a better ability to recognize patterns in new information, which signals an important change in memory that plays an essential role in cognitive development.4 There's reason to believe this holds true for adults, too, as even among adults, a mid-day nap was found to dramatically boost and restore brainpower.5 You can find 33 tips to help you get the shut-eye you need here.Play Brain GamesIf you don't sufficiently challenge your brain with new, surprising information, it eventually begins to deteriorate. What research into brain plasticity shows us, however, is that by providing your brain with appropriate stimulus, you can counteract this degeneration.One way to challenge your brain is via 'brain games,' which you can play online via Web sites like Brain Games & Brain Training. Dr. Michael Merzenich, professor emeritus at the University of California, who I interviewed two years ago, has pioneered research in brain plasticity (also called neuroplasticity) for more than 30 years, has also developed a computer-based brain-training program that can help you sharpen a range of skills, from reading and comprehension to improved memorization and more.The program is called Brain HQ, and the website has many different exercises designed to improve brain function and it also allows you to track and monitor your progress over time. While there are many similar sites on the Web, Brain HQ is one of the oldest and most widely used.If you decide to try brain games, ideally it would be wise to invest at least 20 minutes a day, but no more than five to seven minutes is to be spent on a specific task. When you spend longer amounts of time on a task, the benefits weaken. According to Dr. Merzenich, the primary benefits occur in the first five or six minutes of the task. The only downside to brain games is that it may become just another "task" you need to fit into an already busy day. If you don't enjoy brain games, you can also try learning a new skill or hobby (see below).Master a New SkillEngaging in "purposeful and meaningful activities" stimulates your neurological system, counters the effects of stress-related diseases, reduces the risk of dementia and enhances health and well-being.6 A key factor necessary for improving your brain function or reversing functional decline is the seriousness of purpose with which you engage in a task. In other words, the task must be important to you, or somehow meaningful or interesting — it must hold your attention.For instance, one study revealed that craft activities such as quilting and knitting were associated with decreased odds of having mild cognitive impairment.7 Another study, published earlier this year, found that taking part in "cognitively demanding" activities like learning to quilt or take digital photography enhanced memory function in older adults.8 The key is to find an activity that is mentally stimulating for you. Ideally this should be something that requires your undivided attention and gives you great satisfaction… it should be an activity that you look forward to doing, such as playing a musical instrument, gardening, building model ships, crafting or many others.Vitamin DActivated vitamin D receptors increase nerve growth in your brain, and researchers have also located metabolic pathways for vitamin D in the hippocampus and cerebellum of the brain, areas that are involved in planning, processing of information, and the formation of new memories. In older adults, research has shown that low vitamin D levels are associated with poorer brain function, and increasing levels may help keep older adults mentally fit. Appropriate sun exposure is all it takes to keep your levels where they need to be for healthy brain function. If this is not an option, a safe tanning bed is the next best alternative, followed by a vitamin D3 supplement.Intermittent FastingContrary to popular belief, the ideal fuel for your brain is not glucose but ketones, which is the fat that your body mobilizes when you stop feeding it carbs and introduce coconut oil and other sources of healthy fats into your diet. A one-day fast can help your body to "reset" itself, and start to burn fat instead of sugar. Further, it will help you to reduce your overall calorie consumption, which promotes brain cell growth and connectivity.As part of a healthy lifestyle, however, I prefer an intermittent fasting schedule that simply calls for limiting your eating to a narrower window of time each day. By restricting your eating to a 6-8 hour window, you effectively fast 16-18 hours each day.Gut HealthYour gut is your "second brain," and your gut bacteria transmits information to your brain via the vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve that runs from your brain stem into your enteric nervous system (the nervous system of your gastrointestinal tract). There is a close connection between abnormal gut flora and abnormal brain development, and just as you have neurons in your brain, you also have neurons in your gut -- including neurons that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, which is also found in your brain and is linked to mood.Quite simply, your gut health can impact your brain function, psyche, and behavior, as they are interconnected and interdependent in a number of different ways. In addition to avoiding sugar, one of the best ways to support gut health is to consume beneficial bacteria. You can use a probiotic supplement for this, but I'm particularly fond of using fermented vegetables, because they can deliver extraordinarily high levels of beneficial bacteria. Most people aren't aware that in a healthy serving of sauerkraut – two to three ounces or so – you're getting the equivalent of nearly 100 capsules of the highest-potency probiotic you can buy. It's clearly one of the most cost-effective alternatives.Reference:http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/04/24/memory-improvement-tricks.aspx
