Food For Thought....

Literal meaning of this thing is "food for thought - anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking intellectual nourishment, food
cognitive content, mental object, content - the sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered, or learned
pabulum - insipid intellectual nourishment". But do you really think... our education system provides nourishment to Student's Thoughts?????......may be sometimes in some good institutes in India.

We have a "SQUARE" education system and we are bond to think inside that SQUARE only. If somebody tries to go beyond that, then...most of the people from the society, even from his/her family scold them. Have they ever asked the person, what are his/her dreams and what is he/she trying for. A competitive world has covered everything and this not only happens with schools, colleges or institutes but in organizations too.

Why why why ????....an incident happened with me, when I was in std 5th. I just tried the correct thing but I lost few marks for that so called "MISTAKE" as per my biology teacher. There was a question in bio-exam ...Draw a neat and labeled diagram of "AMOEBA".....and I did that.

"An Amoeba has no definite shape or size because it uses amoebic movement as a form of locomotion" and biology book had Sleeper (footwear) shaped diagram, but I thought that Amoeba has no shape and drew a Circle with all other necessary information. According to my teacher I should have COPIED "Sleeper" as per the book. Does that really matter???? Oh, common ma'am, Amoeba has no shape, but she was firm at her decision that I made a mistake. Bull****..!!!!

Another incident happened with my friend. A brilliant human being and his favorite subject is mathematics. He used to score only in maths and in other subjects.....average. But one day he made a mess of our maths teacher. He dared to ask him 1 IIT problem @ that age....no no .....yup I am serious and that too in 8th class. I can't believe this. But its true.....and my maths teacher scolded him for not being able to concentrated on class study. Why ......?????? because he never had done anything related to IIT problem in his whole life.

And this saga continues, from school to college and then so on.

Why don't we are allowed to think differently apart from books. We are just a bunch people who can do RATTA, but can't understand it. A simple thing, a story of "Shivaji Maharaj" assassinating "Afzalkhan"....and you have been asked to write some lines about it. There are 2 kind of students who explain this ....one actually explains this with his own words and imagination and scene creation and other student.....he just writes what is given there in book. Bingo ......!!!!!!! The 2nd student tops that exam and the first one just gets 50%. What was important here......Shivaji Maharaj killed Afzalkhan.....how??.....that was written by a writer based on facts and history..... but in his own words.

Because of "spoon-feeding", students always ask for notes. Why do they want notes?????? Dude, you have information, gather it and prepare your own. If any teacher try not to spoon-feed, then students form committee and complain about that person who tried to give them chance to learn more and moreover to learn on their own.

Why American and European countries are well ahead than India??????, thinking power and ability to do something new. They tell their students to inspire but not to copy.

So, please try to think out of box...or for that matter think that there is no box. You don't have any limitation, boundary on your most vulnerable and powerful part....your BRAIN. Let it be free and you will see the difference.

And rest....who are in opposition party ...give some respect to what is correct. And try that, no student in India commit suicide and sing "Give me some sunshine and give me some rain, Give me another chance and I wanna grow up once again" before committing it.

PEACE..!!!

"आठवण" ही फक्त घरच्यांचीच येत असते..

१२ वी चा निकाल लागला, सर्व मित्रांची धावपळ चालू झाली...मी पुण्याला जाणार असे ठरले.... मी रुसुन बसलो, बाबांनी जवळ घेतले, आईनी भात भरवला, दादानी माझी आवडती मिठाई आणली, तेव्हा मला कळाले कि मी या जगात काहिही करू शकतो, जर हे तिघे माझ्य़ासोबत असतिल.

जेव्हा "निर्णय" घेणे काय असतं, ह्या बद्दल काहीच समज नव्हती, तेव्हा पुण्याला आलो. ऊच्च शिक्षण सुरू झाले, हळु हळु बाहेर राहण्याची सवय होऊ लागली, नविन मित्र मैत्रिणी झाले, पण फक्त बाहेर राहण्याची सवय.....हे पुरे आहे का???

बघता बघता ७ वर्ष झालीत, आज नोकरी करतोय गेल्या २ वर्षांपासुन, बाबा तर म्हणाले पण "आमचं बाळ आता मोठं झाल आहे..!!"

पण नको वाटतं हे मोठेपण, अजुनही तेच आईच्या कुशीत झोपाव, बाबांना खर्चाला पैसे मागावेत, दादाशी रोज कुठलेही कारण काढ़ून भांडत रहावे असच वाटत राहत.....................................................................................

कारण तुम्ही कुठेही रहा......"आठवण" ही फक्त घरच्यांचीच येत असते..!!!

LIVE LIFE or LEAVE LIFE......

There are 2 ways to live your LIFE.......either LIVE your LIFE or LEAVE your LIFE. But I think you have to LIVE your life because its short, its sweet, its a mystery , its a challenge etc etc but main thing is its "Only ONE". So better you LIVE and forget about LEAVING it.

There are people who are always seem happy and jolly, it does not mean they don not have any so called "Tension", "Challenge" or "Obstacles" in life, but its just their way of overcoming all those temporary things which will be there sooner or later but only for sometime. But to bring Happiness in Life is a biggest challenge and keeping it forever is more difficult than it. Just as in "3 Idiots" Aal Izz Well funda. Does this funda always help? I don't know, but , why not to give a try. It will not harm, rather, it will try to help you to reduce Stress in Life, Work, Study, Family.

LEAVING LIFE, this option is only for losers, who think they have failed big time and there is no way for recovering from it. But, I think, if failure is the first step of success, then big time failure is just a bigger step.

Just an example, think, you are going for an Interview and its raining outside....you are going on your bike ....a truck passes by and the next scene is .....mud is on your clothes. What will you do??? Was that your mistake??? NO.......then why are you being tensed....just for a reason....your Impression at the interview. Does that really matter??? Yes ...but not over your Intelligence.

So, just chill relax....life will move on...you can not control that but you can definitely control the way of LIVING it.

What say????

एकटाच निघालो होतो, कुणिही बरोबर नव्हत, लोकांनी थोड प्रेम तर दाखवल, पण ते खरोख्रर नव्हत.
