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!!

REALIZE, REINVENT…
THE LITTLE TRUTHS OF LIFE
Recollecting the happenings in my life, let me write this beautiful story. One day I entered a room, which was filled with darkness that seemed unlimited in all its dimensions. Nothing was visible. I stayed and lived in the place where anger, frustration and tears had no meaning. There was no one to listen or speak to. With the dreadful darkness around me the only companions were the hopeless, weak thoughts.
Suddenly there was a feeling of hope taking roots from where I am, when I found a candle. It seemed as though the strength of my emotion touched the plane of the heavens, which brought help. Now, with the candle lighted I was reassured that the nature was helping me. For once I adored, respected and fell in love with the candle which showed me the world. I could now enjoy every bit of my existence as the room was filled with exquisitely beautiful things. There were no more thoughts but only pure happiness and joy that ruled my kingdom of life. The candle now appeared as God. It felt as though there was nothing more beautiful and lovely than this candle that I respect the most.
In this mesmerizing flow of events, there was one thing that I forgot. I forgot that the candle cannot last for long and its existence on this plane is temporary. When I became aware of this little truth, I understood that even my existence on this wondrous plane was temporary. And before the candle has left me, it is me who is leaving the candle. This walk into a new room may bring many more surprises and the candle remains a memory in this illusory story of existence.
