The Brahmin Educational Society (BES) launched its 42 nd cultural programmes here on Wednesday. Scholar Nochur Venkitaraman began his week-long spiritual lecture series on ‘Jagadguru Sankaracharya Vaibhavam’.
The lecture series is being held at Sree Sarada Sankara Kalyanamandapam at Noorani. Mr. Venkitaraman commemorated BES founder N.N. Ramachandra Iyer.
BES president K.V. Vasudevan and other leaders of the Kerala Brahmana Sabha welcomed Mr. Venkitaraman with a traditional Poornakumbham.

The municipal bus stand auditorium in Malappuram was packed. But nobody quite knew what to expect. After all, a new event was making its debut at the State School Arts Festival. The moment V.G. Harikrishnan started his rendition of Pyar bhare do sharmile nain..., everyone was convinced that Ghazal was here to stay. The student from GVHSS, Atholi (Kozhikode), was applauded loudly for his rendering of the timeless ghazal sung originally by Mehdi Hassan.

For the last few weeks, several wards in Madurai city have been getting piped drinking water through a new drinking water scheme. The sweetness of the generously supplied water has led to loss of business to several suppliers of canned drinking water in the city. But, not many know that the water supplied to the houses in Madurai is directly drawn from Lower Dam of Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district of Kerala.
