I am wondering more n more these days as to what is happening to the Education in our country?? a country which once was the place of holistic education...and gurukuls..and now landed itself in ever growing frenzy of money and fame seeking schools..where everything else apart from education is delivered.
What provoked this thought in me??
Went to a premium school of Delhi today..just to see so called education ruing young minds..may be the statement " i was born intelligent, education ruined me.." is totally come true in our context!
These kids may be grt at english, maths, science and other important subjects...but they have lost a life..that we had once...yes...we were naughty, didn't care too much about our teachers...laughed our way in class...however, there still were parts of us..who would adore a teacher for lifetime...or..still have the courtesy of understanding that the school reputation is over and above everything else....
The question is,Who is to blame?? Schools-that are more focussed on making money more than anything now, teachers-who are just trying to finish their 7-3pm job somehow and get the monthly cash in hand or the parents-who seem to believe that educating their children is no longer their job...it is a school's.After all..they don't pay that amount of money to school just for the heck of it!!
May be it is high time indeed for everyone to know that speaking perfect english and being cool is not the only sign of anybody being educated...infact..one could look more like an ignorant fool, if these skills are used only as a mechanism to show off the X factor within one!!
Well, that's what the education world has come to...they seem to have invented a new maxim " everything is fair in the BUSINESS of EDUCATION-even...NON EDUCATION!!"

well!! here am i after a longgg time...Life doesn't have interesting things to offer everyday..its just sometimes u stumble upon a masterpiece of a incident....something that gets you going and makes you think...!!
The philosopher that iam...i alwaz end up thinking...wat good does sarcasm do to anyone?and what by the way is sarcasm...all of us in this generation believe...it is a way to display our quick witted skills and the possible superiority over so called meek people....and therefore we display this skill with utmost aplomb just about anywhere..parties,lunch tables, pool gatherings..anywhere and everywhere we get a chance...
M sure none of us really give a thought to what the recipient goes through when he/she tries to laugh it off to make it look "it doesnt really matter..it was just a joke" thingie....Every person on this earth is probable to get hurt by such displays of so called candid jokes...but obviously in today's world of "fitting in"; displaying displeasure over such things...well...might not be looked upon as the best resort!!But the truth prevails and so does the fact that a sharp tongue can break many a hearts...just a little slowly!!
However, sarcasm used to shatter innocent smiles; used to break those dreams that innocent people weave in their spick and span world...is nothing but a display of weakness and innermost complexes!Superiority is nothing,but a way to defend your weaknesses and get away from realising your own shortcomings and hence closing all the doors, any kind of opportunity that god may bestow upon you to make a change...make a difference to your life...and thereafter others!
Indeed..wat a pity!!

Answers: Deep within!!
Ever been in a spot which compels you to think deep ....question yourself..question and again question..till the time all that you are left with is either clarity as white as snow or deeper confusion..either way what it would turn out to be ,would be for the best.. for if you are bestowed upon with wisdom about who you really are ...there is nothing more to life...life from hereon would only be a gamut of dreams..all achievable..clear truths...facts and unashamed desires....unbaffled spirit..that's yours....only yours..
and just in case you get stuck in the confusion deeper...deep is where answers are...deep within and till the time the deepest fears are not conquered....till the time deepest lies are not unearthed and till the time the true spirit is not awakened!!
But mind you..all this takes hell lot of courage...you might lose your possessions..both human and otherwise...however..what should content you is the fact that if certain things are meant to be lost for the sake of you being yourself..then sooner or later,it would be for the good..for the better...you might lose,however,in the end it would only mean a win..a triumph of who you really are....
and yes as they say.if you are true...then the loved ones wouold accept the truth and come back and in case they don't ,then they deserve the freedom to be what they are and take their own decisions...
however,whatever happens...happens for the best!! alwaz...
