ONE


    I strongly feel that the education demands a change from the existing system. Here I want to address the problem of data explosion. It has been foolish to accommodate more and more knowledge in the curriculum.
    Students should be driven by interest and passion, not by competition or performance. Children should learn in their journey, what they are interested to do in their lives. We should have a world that gives true education. In today’s system we have many flaws. Like, we must have read about a lot of things, but how much do we really retain and apply in our lives. For example, I am a computer science and engineering student. I have taken many courses since I was a kid. The fact is that I don’t remember most of what I studied.
    We don’t want a large number of engineers or scientists for making things better. We only need a persistent attitude on how we can make our lives better. Days are passing by, but how many of us observe the changes we are undergoing. How many of us understand where our strengths lie. I think we should not be complaining on the state of the present world. Instead we can do something qualitative to direct our energies and efforts towards triggering something good.
    I believe that life is all about experiencing change. It makes us strong and also gives us the wisdom of what we are and what this journey means to us. We are different from one another, but remember, we stand as ONE!!

It's a Simple World..


We learn from the society that we have to be responsible. We should be responsible in fulfilling our duties and taking good care of our loved ones. All that we remember about ourselves is physical. We work every day with the intent of building a good personality which is acknowledgeable by the society.
A small child is pleasant and joyous. He has no responsibilities. The trees live naturally. It is not their responsibility to purify the air or hold the earth together. It’s a part of their natural living. For us working is natural. Having food is natural. We share this space on earth for living together. It’s all basic living. In the same way we get emotional, we fall in love, we become angry and this is all defined naturally in the life of man. Moreover we have designed lifestyles and mannerisms for living together. Hence it is evident that the world today was built through a natural thought process for sustaining our race with stability and balance retained in nature.
Today we witness complications in life. We seem to understand more than our ancestors. We understand compromises, fears, differences, profits and many more which are less natural for the mind. In a way we call this knowledge, wisdom or even intelligence in the process of evolution.  We try to gear up to stand first in the queue. In this race between ourselves we have lost the concept of goal and purpose in our lives.
We started living without the common awareness of what we want from our lives. If a person starts running in one direction, our immediate thought is to run faster than him in the same direction. In this way we are living without a goal in life. We called this competition. Initially we defined concepts for sustaining a peaceful living in this world. But today we define our lifestyles for sustaining the concepts we defined earlier, even if they are inapplicable to the present. If we continue to attach strings in this way, we will be no different from the puppets in a puppet show.
Finally I want to say that it’s a simple world and there are no strings attached...
