Yet another weekend holiday midway-through now, as I write this. Last week, couldn't write anything, as I got into the midst of some serious "Wiki GrandhaSaala" (വീക്കീ ഗ്രന്ഥശാല or 'Wiki Source', as it is officially known) business - proof reading Kumaran Asan's Seethaakavyam which was typed in by another gentlemen. As you can guess, "Wiki GrandhaSaala" is a grand initiative, a la Wikipedia, supported by voluntary collaborative contributions by likeminded individuals who are willing to lend their time and efforts into adding collections into this, what could undoubtedly be called a, “universal library”. Please see the link (here) to WikigrandhaSaala and the brief intro shown below.
കഴിഞ്ഞകാലത്തിലെ അമൂല്യഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളുടെ ശേഖരമാണിത്. പകര്പ്പവകാശ പരിധിയില് വരാത്ത പ്രാചീന കൃതികള് (ഉദാ: ബൈബിള്, വേദങ്ങള്..), പകര്പ്പവകാശ കാലാവധി കഴിഞ്ഞ കൃതികള് (ഉദാ: കേരളപാണിനീയം), പകര്പ്പവകാശത്തിന്റെ അവകാശി പബ്ലിക്ക് ഡൊമൈനില് ആക്കിയ കൃതികള് എന്നിങ്ങനെ മൂന്നു തരം കൃതികള് ആണു വിക്കി ഗ്രന്ഥശാലയില് ചേര്ക്കാവുന്നത്
I have decided to lend my time, whenever and in whichever manner I can, into this initiative. And let me also solicit, through this blog, contributions from the like-minded.
Even though I did not write anything in the blog last week, there was a topic that I had been carrying with me for sometime now. That is about the left parties in India – the cross roads they are in at the moment. As it lingers in many a minds in these days, has the left collectively, or certain political parties within the left movement particularly, shifted what they used to call pristine ideological moorings into shaky temporary landings of political expediency..?
I will reflect my thoughts, possibly later today...In the meantime, please look at the link here..
