From Small Acorns, Giant Oaks grow
A child-boy-of 4 years of age has only a 'shuddy' to cover his privates and a girl of 3 years of age too has a 'shuddy' to cover her privates. Both are in a standing position –face to face- and looking curiously something inside the 'shuddy' of the boy.This is an advertisement picture and in it, the girl pulls the 'shuddy' of the boy and both of them with wide mouths and curious eyes look at the privates of the boy and remain there in that position without undrstanding much.And an advice:"FROM SMALL ACORNS,GIANT OAKS GROW'.Everybody driving a vehicle-travelling through that road cannot but enjoy the erotic 'enjoyment' of two innocent children.I saw it and I have the memories of that advertisement coming and going to and from my mind without my permission.Let it be there.
My first visit to USA was in 1986 and then I had to drive to McHill University,Montrial,Canada via Niagra Falls and Toronto.Dr.Gregory Peechatt was driving his car and I closely and keenly looked around and out to find some advertisement boards on the road.I wanted to study how Americans published their commodities.Then I could not find any advertisement boards on roads, road-sides,foot-paths etc.both in USA and in Canada.Later,I had been to many other countries,particularly Singapore where my first daughter,Neethu works in the Ministry of Education.She stays with Abhilash Varghese Koikara,Vice President,Citi Bank there.They have two kids-Anna and George-I have stayed with them for many days and travelled extensively through the roads of Singapore almost everyday.I could not find any advertisemnet boards on roads or road sides there too.I had been to UAE(Sharjah and Dubai) and my boosom friend Adv.George Varghese drove me to various places.There too,no advertisement boards on roads or road sides.They have road signs and boards- and they are only for the safe driving and the safety of the road users.They are not at all to distract the attention of the road users.
How many advertisement boards are seen on our roads,centre of the road,road junctions,road-sides,foot-paths in Kerala? God alone knows them. Are our roads intended for advertisement or safe driving? Sale of Bras,panties,jetties,cigarettes,clothes,jewellery,food-items etc are on roads and they are illuminated throughout the day and night .Beautiful girls dressed in erotic styles with their HALF in and HALF out,boys with attractive jetties in half nakedness or only with jetties,children in urinating position,old women without any upper clothes tasting food...and thus one sees all sorts of undesirable advertisement boards –very colourful and attractive-during their road journey.For what?-For the safety and protection of drivers?-For the safety and protection of other road users?-For the purpose of educating the public on road safety? Oh God! Forgive them.We do not see many road signs,signals,markings,speed regulating devices,lights etc. on roads. Posters of politicians,religious speakers,miracle makers,sports stars,cinema super stars,models,serial girls,cheese cake girls,erotic boys,exotic girls,flesh traders and racketeers are plenty to distract the attention of road users.Accidents occur every second and everybody is deaf,dumb and blind to these social evils which are crimes indeed. Even now, I do not see any advertisement boards on roads in the whole of America and they fail to understand why so many road advertisements in India.
