( 34 ) An overview of the world from 1994 to 1998
During the period from 1994 to 1998, though I had some bitter experiences in life, I was curious about the happenings around me - in Kerala, India and in the whole world. In 1994, when the Nobel Prize for Peace was shared by Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin, I was shocked, like many other people in the world. I was very eager to read the newspapers, when the comet Shoemaker - Levy 9, hit the planet Jupiter. It aroused my zest to understand more about the space.
In the political scenario in India, A B Vajpayee became the Prime Minister in 1996, then, H D DeveGowda followed by I K Gujral and again A B Vajpayee - these changes really made me panic. I understood the limitations of democracy. In Kerala, when the Chief Minister, K Karunakaran was replaced by A K Antony, the newspaper reports were confusing. I wondered how these incidents happened in Kerala. When K R Narayanan became the President of India in 1997, there were great celebrations in Kerala. I observed the pulse of Kerala - reached a conclusion that people always want a change, they need progress in future.
I have to share with you another important issues also. There are two subjects. One is homosexuality. It was when I was doing my B.Sc Course that I got a clear picture of people who are having sexual attraction to people of the same sex. It was a shock to me when I realised that it was happening in the world. I understood more about it after many years.
The second one is masturbation or self - abuse. To be honest, I also had a tendency to do it. But a miracle happened in the year 2002. I was in a retreat centre under the leadership of Catholic Church. During the time of adoration, the priest uttered loudly, "give up all bad habits ". I prayed with concentration, with all my heart and alas ! After one week retreat, that bad habit was completely gone. I had been never tempted to do it after that retreat. I consider this as the greatest miracle that happened in my life.
I was greatly concerned about the status of women in the whole world. As a result, whenever a woman's problem was discussed in the newspapers, I thought about the ways to avoid such problems in future. But even now, I haven't found out a complete solution, I agree. I understand that a woman must get equal share from her parents, for the smooth functioning of the society. Yes, the power over the land - it is very important.
